Forma Therapeutics, Inc. (“Forma”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Notice describes our practices in connection with the information collected through our Gladiolus Study Website (the “Website”) that has been developed by Praxis Communications LLC (“Praxis”) on our behalf.

The Study will be facilitated by our contracted third parties that include Praxis and clinical research sites participating in the Study (each a “Research Site”) (collectively “Contracted Parties”). The Website enables a physician or Study doctor at a Research Site, a Referring Physician, a potential or enrolled Study subject, or an Acquaintance to review information about the Study. The Website is not intended for use by any persons other than potential or enrolled Study subjects or Acquaintances thereof, physicians or Study doctors at Research Sites or Referring Physicians. By accessing and using the Website, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Notice.

No personal information about you will be collected through the Website. If you are a potential Study subject, any information about you collected outside the Website in connection with the Study will not be governed by this Privacy Notice and instead will be treated in accordance with the informed consent form you will execute before beginning participation in the Study (the “Informed Consent”) and any privacy notice that is linked to other electronic or digital tools or platforms into which you provide your User Information (as defined below) as part of the Study.
