This Privacy Policy describes the personal information Delcath collects about you on our websites (“Sites”); how we use that information; how we protect it; and the choices you may make with respect to your personal information. Delcath strives to collect, use, and disclose personal information in a manner consistent with the laws of the countries in which it does business. Accordingly, you are not required to provide any personal information to use this Sites. Any information you do provide through this Sites will be maintained in a secure manner and will only be used or disclosed in a manner consistent with the purposes for which you provide the information or as otherwise disclosed to you.
The Information We Collect
Some functions of our Sites may allow you to voluntarily supply us with personal information, including your name, email address, and other contact information. In addition, you may be able to submit information to us through links provided on the Sites. You may decline to provide your personal information but, as a result, you may not have access to, or the benefit of, those features. Delcath also may retain electronic communications you send through the Sites or links provided on the Sites.
Delcath also may track websites information about visits to this Sites. For example, statistics are compiled that show the daily requests received for particular files on the Sites and what countries those requests come from. These aggregated statistics are used to customize our Sites to better meet your needs and may also be provided to others.
We may use “cookies” or “web beacons.” A “cookie” is an element of data that a websites can send to your browser, which may be stored on your computer, device, or system. Cookies allow us to better serve visitors to our Sites by offering a tailored experience. A “web beacon,” also referred to as a “spotlight” or “pixel tag,” is used to recognize unique cookies and assist us in determining which advertisements bring users to a specific websites or page. You can set your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie, giving you the chance to decide whether or not to accept it. If you decline to accept the cookie, it will also disable the web beacon. Delcath, from time to time, permits third parties to apply cookies when you visit the Sites. However, the Sites gives you a means to control how they are placed and used. You may be able to use “Do Not Track” features of the browser used to access this Sites. Different browsers use different methods to communicate such “Do Not Track” signals, and the industry has not yet adopted a uniform method to do so. For this reason, our Sites may not be able to interpret or respond to “Do Not Track” signals.
Your information may be stored on third-party data storage systems and, in those instances, Delcath requires those third parties to employ strict security practices and systems designed to protect the security of the information.
How We Use Your Information
Delcath (and third parties acting on Delcath’s behalf) may use the information you submit to: (i) contact you; (ii) improve the Sites; (iii) personalize your experience on the Sites; (iv) comply with legal requirements; (v) provide you with information or services that you have requested; (vi) respond to your inquiries regarding careers, research opportunities, and investor information; (vii) provide you with additional information that Delcath believes may be of interest to you; (viii) improve products and services; and (ix) identify individuals who have benefitted from our products and services. Any lists used to provide your information are designed to protect the privacy and security of your personal information. Delcath will make every effort to remove names from any postal mail or email lists.
Disclosure
Because Delcath considers the personal information we maintain to be confidential, our policy is to disclose no personal information other than as we may inform you, including as described in this Policy where such disclosure is required by law or is pertinent to a judicial or government action or investigation. In addition, Delcath may disclose information to third parties that assist Delcath in administering the Sites and the communications made through the Sites. Delcath does not otherwise sell or rent personal information to other persons or entities except as specifically disclosed at the point of collection.
The Transfer of Data to Other Countries
Any information you provide to Delcath through use of the Sites may be stored and processed, transferred between, and accessed from the United States and other countries. Delcath will handle your personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy regardless of where your personal information is stored or accessed.
Other Websites
Our Sites may contain links to other websites, and we make every effort to link only to sites that share our high standards and respect for privacy. However, Delcath is not responsible for the content of, or the privacy practices employed by, those other sites, so we recommend that you read the privacy policies and terms associated with these third-party websites carefully.
Children’s Privacy
Delcath does not knowingly collect any personal information (such as name, address, and telephone number) from children under 13 years of age through its Sites. Delcath will specifically instruct children under 13 not to submit such information to this Sites. We do not currently allow children under 13 to register for, or participate in, contests or promotions on this Sites. However, if the parent or guardian of a child under 13 believes that their child has provided us with personally identifiable information, that parent or guardian should contact us if they want this information deleted from our systems. If Delcath obtains knowledge that it has personally identifiable information about a child under 13 in retrievable form in its files, we will delete that information from our existing files. In addition, anyone under 18 years of age should seek their parent’s or guardian’s permission prior to using or disclosing any personal information on this Sites.
Links to Social Media
The sites may allow you to post content to various social media platforms, including Facebook, Twitter and others. Please be aware that when you communicate with such a platform you are no longer on the Delcath websites, and that the terms of service and the privacy policies of those platforms are not under our control and may differ in substantial ways from our sites’ privacy policy and terms of use. You should consult the privacy policy and terms of use of any social media platform with which you choose to share information or on which you choose to post any information.
Security Policies
We use secure servers and suppliers with strict controls to safeguard your personal and other information from unauthorized access or use. While we have procedures and security features in place to keep the data secure once we receive it, sending information over the internet is generally not completely secure, and we cannot guarantee the security of the data while it’s in transit.
Updates to Our Privacy Policy
From time to time, we may update and post revisions to this Privacy Policy. Any changes will be effective immediately upon the posting of the revised Privacy Policy. Minor changes to the Policy may occur that will not significantly affect our use of personal information without notice or consent. We encourage you to periodically review this page for the latest information on our privacy practices. This Privacy Policy was updated as of the date first listed above.
Your California Privacy Rights

If applicable, this information would include a list of the categories of personal information that was shared and the names and addresses of all third parties with which we shared information in the immediately preceding calendar year.
