Last updated: February 2023

Introduction

Your privacy is important to us at Intellia Therapeutics, Inc. (“Intellia”, “we” or “us”). For this reason, we want you to be familiar with how we collect, use and disclose your Personal Information. As used in this Privacy Policy, “Personal Information” means any information that is capable of directly or indirectly identifying a natural person or that otherwise relates to an identified or identifiable natural person.

This Privacy Policy describes our practices in connection with Personal Information about users (“you”, “your” or “users”) collected through our website, intelliatx.com, (the “Website”). By using the Website, you acknowledge that you have read and understand the terms of this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy may be revised periodically, and any such revisions will be reflected by the effective date above. Please revisit this page to stay aware of any changes.

What This Privacy Policy Does and Does Not Cover

This Privacy Policy applies only to Personal Information collected by Intellia via the Website and does not apply to information collected (1) by us through other channels (e.g., via email) or offline or (2) by third parties whose forms or other collection mechanisms may be embedded in or linked to or accessible from the Website, except to the extent third-party cookies are identified in our Cookie Policy referenced below. For example, this Privacy Policy does not apply to information you provide in the course of filling out a job application via our third-party service provider’s webform. For information about a third party’s privacy practices applicable to your information in those circumstances, please consult the third party’s privacy policy.

Collection and Use of Personal Information.

The following types of Personal Information may be collected from or about users of our Website:

a. Personal Information You Provide.

Contact Information: If you request information from us or otherwise contact us using a Website webform, you may provide Personal Information in connection with such request or contact, such as your name, phone number, email address, employment information, country of residence, and any messages you send us (“Contact Information”), which we collect so that we can receive, reply to, or otherwise fulfill your request.

b. Automatically Collected Information.

Usage Information: Like most websites, our Website contains automatic data collection technologies commonly known as “cookies,” including both first-party cookies (cookies set by us on our Website) and third-party cookies (cookies set by other parties on our Website) in order to make the Website function, and function more efficiently, as well as to make the Website content more relevant to our users and to provide us with information about usage of the Website. The information collected by cookies may include technical information such as your IP address, browser or device settings and preferences, unique browser or device identifiers, your browsing and search activity, and geolocation information (“Usage Information”). In many cases, this information is stored on “session” cookies, which are deleted as soon as you close your browser. In other cases, the information is stored on “persistent” cookies, some of which expire automatically after a certain period of time, and all of which you can delete via your browser settings at any time. Please see our Cookie Policy for more information about automatic data collection technologies that may be used on the Website, the retention periods applicable to this information, and how to manage your cookie preferences.

We may also use Google Analytics, which uses cookies and similar technologies to collect and analyze information about use of our Website and report on activities and trends. This service may also collect information regarding the use of other websites, software applications (or “apps”), and online resources. You can learn about Google’s practices by going to https://policies.google.com/privacy/google-partners, and opt-out of them by downloading the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on, available at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

We may anonymize your Contact Information and/or Usage Information (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes.

Sharing of Personal Information with Third Parties

We may share your Contact Information and/or Usage Information with our third-party service providers, such as those who provide email and web hosting services, and those who assist us in operating the Website.

We may also disclose your Contact Information and/or Usage Information to any institution, government, court, agency or authority (including law enforcement agencies) to whom we are required to disclose it by law, or as necessary to protect our legal rights or the rights of others, or to prevent harm, or to any subsidiaries or other affiliates, or to our business partners, or to a buyer or other successor in the event that we are acquired, merge with another entity or sell portions of our assets, or in accordance with your instructions.

Minimization and Retention of Personal Information

To determine the appropriate retention period for Personal Information, we may consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the Personal Information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your Personal Information, the purposes for which we process your Personal Information and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and applicable legal requirements.

Your Choices and Rights

You can contact us at any time using the contact information listed in the last section of this Privacy Policy to request we do any of the following: (i) erase or delete all or some of your Personal Information; (ii) change, update, or correct your Personal Information; (iii) restrict how we use all or some of your Personal Information; (iv) access your Personal Information and, where applicable and feasible, request to receive that Personal Information in a commonly used electronic format (or ask for this information to be provided in that format to a third party); or (v) disclose what Personal Information we collect, use, or disclose. We will consider and respond to any such requests promptly, and otherwise in accordance with applicable laws. Although we use good faith efforts to respond to your request, we may not be able to provide and/or correct the requested Personal Information in all situations. For example, we may not be able to provide the Personal Information requested if it imposes an undue burden or expense, requires us to release confidential information, requires the disclosure of Personal Information relating to another person, requires authentication of the request that is not feasible, or is legally impermissible.

California residents and European residents should also review the additional information applicable to them in the sections that follow.

Intellia is the controller of your Personal Information for purposes of European data protection legislation. We only use your Personal Information as permitted by law. The lawful bases that apply to our use of your Contact Information and Usage Information are as follows:
