Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 29, 2026

Tekton Research (“Tekton,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and disclose personal information through our website, study-interest forms, and related communications, and explains the choices available to you.

Participation in a clinical research study may involve separate informed consent documents, privacy notices, or authorizations. This website policy does not replace those documents.

Information We Collect

The information we collect depends on how you interact with us. It may include:

  • Contact information: Your name, email address, and telephone number.
  • Study-interest information: Your preferred research location, studies or conditions you ask about, and information you provide in connection with an inquiry.
  • Demographic information: Your date of birth, gender, race, and ethnicity when requested through a study-interest form.
  • Business information: Your organization, role, and the details of a business inquiry.
  • Communications and preferences: Messages you send us, your contact preferences, and records of consent or withdrawal.
  • Website information: Your IP address, browser and device information, pages visited, referring pages, and cookie or similar identifiers.

Some information, including demographic details and information about health-related interests, may be considered sensitive personal information under applicable law.

Please avoid including medical records or detailed medical information in a general website message. Our team can direct you to the appropriate process when additional information is needed.

How We Use Information

We use information to:

  • Respond to study inquiries and business requests.
  • Communicate about research opportunities that may interest you.
  • Support screening follow-up, scheduling, and study-related communications.
  • Maintain communication preferences and consent records.
  • Operate, evaluate, and improve our website and recruitment communications.
  • Understand website activity and measure advertising performance.
  • Protect our systems, address misuse, and meet applicable legal obligations.

We may communicate by telephone, email, or text message, depending on your inquiry, preferences, and applicable consent requirements.

Submitting a study-interest form does not establish eligibility or enroll you in a clinical research study.

SMS Disclosure

If you opt in to receive text messages, Tekton Research may send recurring messages about clinical research opportunities, your study inquiry, scheduling, and visit reminders, consistent with the consent you provide.

Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to a Tekton Research text message to unsubscribe, or reply HELP for assistance.

Mobile information and text messaging opt-in data and consent are not shared with third parties or affiliates for their marketing or promotional purposes. We may provide this information to service providers that help operate and deliver our text messaging program, solely to provide those services on our behalf and subject to applicable confidentiality and security obligations.

Consent to receive text messages is voluntary and is not a condition of applying for, qualifying for, or participating in a clinical research study.

For details about the Tekton Research SMS program, see our Terms & Conditions.

Disclosure of Information

We may disclose personal information:

  • To service providers that support functions such as website hosting, form collection, communications, scheduling, and information storage.
  • To analytics, advertising, and website-technology providers as described in the “Cookies and Tracking Technologies” section below.
  • When you authorize a disclosure.
  • When necessary to comply with applicable law, respond to legal process, protect rights or safety, or enforce our Terms & Conditions.

The restrictions described in the SMS Disclosure section apply to mobile information and text messaging opt-in data and consent.

Data Security Practices

Tekton Research uses reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, use, alteration, or disclosure. Access to personal information is limited to personnel and service providers who need it for legitimate business or operational purposes. We require service providers handling information on our behalf to follow applicable confidentiality and security obligations. No electronic transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

International Data Transfers

Information may be processed in the United States or other locations where our service providers operate. Privacy laws in those locations may differ from those where you live.

Data Retention

Retention periods depend on the type of information, the purpose for which it was collected, our relationship with you, and applicable legal or recordkeeping requirements.

We may need to retain certain records, such as communication consent, opt-out requests, or study-related records, after an inquiry ends. A deletion request may therefore be subject to legal exceptions.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our website uses cookies, pixels, scripts, and similar technologies. These technologies can support website functions, analyze visits, measure advertising, and help identify or understand website visitors.

The website includes technologies from Google, Meta, LinkedIn, and ZoomInfo. Depending on the technology and its configuration, these providers may receive information such as IP addresses, browser and device details, identifiers, page addresses, and interactions with our website. A page address or interaction may reveal the subject of a page you visited.

Third-party providers may also process information under their own privacy policies:

You can use your browser settings to block or delete certain cookies. Browser cookie settings may not prevent every type of tracking and may affect website features.

Depending on applicable law, disclosures involving advertising or tracking technologies may be considered a sale of personal information, sharing for cross-context behavioral advertising, or processing for targeted advertising, even when no money changes hands. See “Your Privacy Rights and Choices” below for information about submitting a request.

Your Privacy Rights and Choices

Depending on where you live and which laws apply, you may have rights to:

  • Learn whether we process your personal information and obtain access to it.
  • Request correction of inaccurate information.
  • Request deletion of information, subject to applicable exceptions.
  • Obtain a portable copy of certain information.
  • Withdraw consent where processing depends on consent.
  • Opt out of covered sales, sharing, or targeted advertising.
  • Appeal a decision concerning a privacy request.

To submit a request or appeal, contact us using the information below. Explain the request and provide enough information for us to locate the relevant records. Please do not include sensitive medical information in your initial email.

We may need to verify your identity or an authorized representative’s authority before responding. We will address requests according to applicable law and explain any limitations or exceptions that apply.

You can also stop text messages by replying STOP. For other communications, use any unsubscribe instructions provided or contact us to update your preferences.

Inquiries About Children

If you are contacting us about a research opportunity for a child, a parent or legal guardian should make the inquiry and provide their own contact information. Any consent to receive text messages should be provided by the adult receiving those messages.

Participation by a child in a research study is subject to the study’s separate eligibility, permission, and consent procedures.

Changes to This Policy

We may revise this Privacy Policy as our practices or legal requirements change. The “Last updated” date identifies the most recent revision. We will provide additional notice or obtain consent when required by applicable law.
