Effective November 17, 2025<\/p>\n
Intellias Global Limited, including its affiliates and subsidiaries, (\u201cIntellias\u201d, \u201cwe\u201d, \u201cus\u201d, and \u201cour\u201d) is committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring compliance with global data protection laws. This Cookie Policy explains how we use cookies and similar technologies on our websites (https:\/\/intellias.com<\/a> & https:\/\/career.intellias.com\/<\/a>) and how we comply with relevant laws including the EU GDPR<\/b> (General Data Protection Regulation), UK Data Protection Act 2018<\/b> (UK GDPR), Ukraine\u2019s Law on Personal Data Protection<\/b>, Colombia\u2019s Statutory Law 1581 of 2012<\/b> and SIC guidelines, and various laws in the United States (such as the California CCPA\/CPRA<\/b>, Delaware Online Privacy Protection Act, Washington My Health My Data Act<\/b>, New York SHIELD Act<\/b>), as well as Japan\u2019s APPI<\/b> (Act on the Protection of Personal Information), India\u2019s Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023<\/b>, Egypt\u2019s Data Protection Law No. 151 of 2020<\/b>, Saudi Arabia\u2019s Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL)<\/b>, and the United Arab Emirates\u2019 Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021<\/b> on Personal Data Protection. We provide this policy to inform you about what cookies are, which cookies we use, why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences. We also include jurisdiction-specific information and rights relating to cookies, to ensure full compliance with each law.<\/p>\n By using our websites, you will be presented with cookies consent banner.<\/b> Initially, some cookies may have been set immediately when you visited our site in the past, but we are in the process of changing our practices to require your prior opt-in consent<\/b> for all cookies except those that are strictly necessary<\/b> for the site to function.<\/p>\n This means that non-essential cookies (such as functional, analytics, and advertising cookies) will not be deployed on your device unless and until you give your explicit permission. Our goal is to be transparent and to give you control over your data \u2013 in line with the principle of informed consent mandated by laws worldwide.<\/p>\n If you have any questions about this Cookie Policy or how Intellias uses your personal data, please refer to our Privacy Policy<\/a> or contact us at privacy@intellias.com<\/b><\/a>.<\/p>\n Cookies<\/b> are small text files that websites place on your device (computer, smartphone, etc.) when you visit. Cookies are widely used to make websites work efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to the site owners. On subsequent visits, the cookie data is sent back to the originating websites or another site that recognizes that cookie, allowing websites to recognize your browser and remember things like user preferences or login status. In addition to cookies, we may use similar tracking technologies such as web beacons (tracking pixels), local storage, or SDKs in our mobile app (if applicable). For simplicity, we refer to all these technologies as \u201ccookies\u201d in this policy.<\/p>\n Cookies can be first party<\/b> (set by Intellias\u2019s domain) or third-party<\/b> (set by other domains\/partners when you visit our site, such as analytics or advertising providers). Cookies can also be session cookies<\/b>, which are temporary and deleted when you close your browser, or persistent cookies<\/b>, which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them. Below, we explain the categories of cookies we use and why we use them.<\/p>\n We use cookies to make our websites functional, secure, and user-friendly<\/b>, and to improve our services. Depending on their purpose, cookies allow us to:<\/p>\n We do not<\/b> use cookies to collect sensitive personal data (such as health, financial, or special category data) without your consent. We also do not<\/b> use cookies to determine your identity by themselves; however, information obtained from cookies may be combined with other personal data you provide us (e.g. via a contact form) to personalize content or fulfil requests. Any personal data collected via cookies is handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy<\/a> and applicable data protection laws.<\/p>\n We categorize the cookies on our site into the following categories, in accordance with legal and regulatory guidance:<\/p>\n Each cookie category above (except strictly necessary cookies) will be disabled by default until you choose to enable them. A detailed list of specific cookies (names, provider, purpose, and lifespan) used on our site is available at the end of this policy in chapter III. We regularly scan and update our cookie list to keep it accurate.<\/p>\n Wherever your data is processed, we take steps to ensure it remains protected. We maintain contracts and Data Processing Agreements with our service providers to enforce data protection commitments. If you\u2019d like more information about our data transfer safeguards (such as copies of SCCs or details of other measures), you can contact us as provided in our Privacy Policy<\/a>.<\/p>\n Information collected by our cookies is kept only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described. Each cookie has an expiration term. Our detailed cookie list provides the retention period for each cookie. We will not retain personal data from cookies beyond what is allowed by law or necessary for the stated purposes. Where you withdraw consent or opt-out, we will stop processing the related cookie data and, where feasible, delete or anonymize the data. Some aggregated or anonymized data (which no longer identifies you) might be kept for analytical purposes, but not in a way that could be linked back to you.<\/p>\n Our site and services are not directed to children under the age of 16, and we do not knowingly use cookies to collect personal data from such individuals for profiling or advertising. In fact, many jurisdictions provide special protections for minors, and we design our cookie practices to meet the most protective standards:<\/p>\n If you are a parent or guardian and have concerns about cookies on our site with respect to your child, please contact us. We support your role in supervising your child\u2019s online activities and will work with you to address any issue (including deleting any inadvertent cookie data relating to your child).<\/p>\n In addition to using our cookie banner and settings, you can manage cookies through browser settings. Most web browsers allow you to refuse or delete cookies. You can typically find these controls under the \u201cPreferences\u201d or \u201cSettings\u201d menu of your browser. You can delete all cookies stored on your device and set most browsers to block cookies from being placed. However, please note that if you disable all cookies (including strictly necessary ones) via your browser, some parts of our site might not function properly. For the best experience, we recommend using our on-site controls to manage non-essential cookies, so necessary cookies can continue to operate.<\/p>\n You may opt out of certain third-party advertising cookies by using industry opt-out tools (such as the NAI or DAA opt-out pages in the United States) or using browser extensions that block trackers. Keep in mind, opting out through those tools might be browser-specific or device-specific.<\/p>\n For interest-based advertising, you can learn more and opt out of many ad cookies via the YourOnlineChoices (EU)<\/a>, YourAdChoices (US)<\/a>, or DAAC (Canada)<\/a> websites. These do not remove cookies per se but rather inform participating advertisers to stop targeted ads to your browser. You can learn more about cookies and third-party websites on these websites – All About Cookies<\/a> and Network Advertising Initiative<\/a>.<\/p>\n If you\u2019d like to delete cookies or instruct your web browser to delete or refuse cookies, please visit the help pages of your web browser.<\/p>\n Please note, however, that if you delete cookies or refuse to accept them, you might not be able to use all the features we offer, you may not be able to store your preferences, and some of our pages might not display properly.<\/p>\n Please see the instruction regarding the web browsers:<\/p>\n We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or changes in legal requirements. If we make material changes, we will notify you by updating the \u201cLast Updated\u201d date at the top of this policy and, if required by law, through the websites (for example, via a banner or pop-up notifying of the change). We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Continuing to use our websites after a new version of the Cookie Policy has been posted (and after being notified or prompted about it, if applicable) will be deemed acceptance of the changes. However, where your consent is required for any new cookie practices, we will obtain it.<\/p>\n Because Intellias operates globally, different privacy laws may grant you specific rights or require certain disclosures regarding cookies and personal data. We have structured this section to address key jurisdictions mentioned in this policy. If you are a resident of one of these regions, the following additional terms apply to you in addition<\/b> to the rest of this Cookie Policy:<\/p>\n We process cookie data of users in the EU\/EEA and UK in accordance with the EU GDPR<\/a> and UK GDPR (Data Protection Act 2018)<\/a> and the ePrivacy laws. In the EU\/UK, consent<\/b> is the primary legal basis for setting non-essential cookies on your device. We will not rely on \u201clegitimate interests\u201d or any other basis to drop cookies that track personal data \u2013 instead, we obtain your prior consent (as described above) in compliance with Article 5(3) of the EU ePrivacy Directive<\/a> and relevant guidance (such as the European Data Protection Board\u2019s guidelines on cookie consent<\/a>). You have the right to withdraw consent<\/b> at any time, as well as other GDPR rights with respect to any personal data collected via cookies (the right to access such data, to rectification, erasure, restriction, data portability, and to object to certain processing). If you believe our use of cookies violates your privacy rights under GDPR\/UK law, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with your national Data Protection Authority (e.g., the ICO in the UK, or any EU supervisory authority in your country). However, we encourage you to contact us first so we can address your concerns directly. Note that strictly necessary cookies may be set without consent under EU\/UK law, but they will only be used for their essential purpose and not for marketing or analytics.<\/b> Our implementation of a cookie consent banner ensures that we comply with the \u201cclear and comprehensive information\u201d<\/b> duty and provide you an \u201cappropriate means of consenting\u201d<\/b> to non-essential cookies, as required by the UK ICO and EU regulators.<\/p>\n Ukrainian law does not have a separate cookies statute, but cookies are regarded as personal data if they can identify an individual (such as via unique identifiers or when combined with other information). Therefore, our use of cookies falls under the Law of Ukraine \u201cOn Personal Data Protection\u201d (No. 2297-VI)<\/a>. This law requires a valid consent<\/b> from the data subject for processing personal data in many cases, unless another legal ground applies. In practice, we treat cookies (beyond essential ones) as requiring your consent. Notably, the Ukrainian regulator (the Parliament Commissioner for Human Rights) has indicated that implied consent (such as simply continuing to browse) may not be sufficient proof of consent for data processing. Thus, we use an explicit opt-in model for cookies in Ukraine. Additionally, the law requires that consent be informed<\/b>: we must inform you of the specific purpose of processing, the scope of data collected, how it will be used, and whether it will be transferred to third parties. We believe this Cookie Policy provides that information. If we change the purpose of processing cookie data, we will seek new consent. Ukrainian users also have the right to withdraw consent<\/b> and the right to be informed about the processing (which we satisfy through this policy and our privacy notice). We will also comply with any request from a Ukrainian user to access, rectify, or delete personal data obtained via cookies, in line with local law.<\/p>\n Note: The current Ukrainian law requires a written or equivalent form of consent in many cases \u2013 our electronic consent mechanism via the banner is designed to meet the definition of \u201cvoluntary expression of will\u2026 in a form which makes it possible to conclude that consent has been given\u201d. By clicking \u201cAccept\u201d on the cookie banner, you indicate such consent.)<\/b><\/p>\n We abide by Colombia\u2019s Statutory Law 1581 of 2012 (Ley 1581 de 2012)<\/a> and guidelines issued by the Superintendence of Industry and Commerce (SIC) regarding personal data and cookies. Colombian data protection law emphasizes the principles of freedom and consent for data processing. In fact, under Colombian regulation, the collection and use of data through cookies or similar tracking technologies is prohibited unless the data subject has provided consent<\/b>. Therefore, for visitors from Colombia, we will present our cookie consent banner and only set non-essential cookies if you consent. Such consent can be obtained through a pop-up or banner that informs you of the purposes of the cookies and provides a way to manage or disable them. We also comply with the SIC\u2019s guidance on privacy notices by including in our Privacy Policy<\/a> the relevant disclosures about cookie data processing. Colombian residents have rights under Law 1581, including the right to access, update, rectify, and delete<\/b> personal data collected, as well as the right to revoke consent. You may exercise these rights by contacting us (see our Privacy Policy<\/a> for contact details), and we will address your request in accordance with the procedures and timeframes set by SIC regulations. Additionally, Colombia mandates particular care with children\u2019s data and sensitive data \u2013 however, our websites is not intended for children, and we do not knowingly use cookies to collect sensitive personal data. If that ever changes, we will seek explicit authorization from the parent\/legal guardian or adhere to local law requirements. We adhere to cross-border transfer restrictions as noted in the previous section (Colombian data will only be transferred outside Colombia in compliance with adequacy or consent requirements).<\/p>\n Intellias strives to comply with the patchwork of U.S. state privacy laws, especially where our websites is accessible to those state residents. This section addresses specific requirements:<\/p>\n Under Japan\u2019s Act on the Protection of Personal Information (APPI)<\/b><\/a>, any data that can identify an individual (directly or indirectly) is \u201cpersonal data\u201d and subject to the law. Some cookie data might be classified as \u201cpersonal data\u201d or as \u201cperson-related information\u201d under recent amendments (data that by itself does not identify a person but could be linked to personal data by a receiving third party). Intellias complies with APPI by obtaining consent for uses of cookies that constitute a use of personal information beyond what is necessary for providing our service; and by disclosing the purposes of use. If we were to provide cookie data (that is not yet personal data) to a third party in a way that the third party will identify individuals, we would either obtain your prior consent<\/b> or ensure the transaction meets APPI\u2019s requirements for \u201copt-out\u201d exceptions (including that the third party commits not to identify individuals unless consent was obtained). Furthermore, as noted in the cross-border section, we will handle any overseas transfer of Japanese personal data in accordance with APPI Article 28: Japan has whitelisted certain countries (like EEA and UK) as having equivalent protection. For other countries (like the U.S.), we will secure contractual commitments<\/b> from the data importer to safeguard the data to Japanese standards and inform you of those safeguards<\/b> or obtain your consent.<\/p>\n We also respect Japanese users\u2019 rights under APPI: you can request notification of the purpose of use of your personal data, or request disclosure, correction, or cessation of use of personal data that we have obtained via cookies. Note that for security and fraud-prevention cookies (if any), APPI allows certain exemptions, but we will still be transparent about them. Our policies are aligned with the guidance issued by Japan\u2019s Personal Information Protection Commission (PPC), and we remain attentive to PPC\u2019s guidance on cookies and online tracking. If you are in Japan and have a concern about our cookie practices, you may contact us or lodge a concern with the PPC. We aim to ensure that before placing any non-essential cookies on your device, we have your consent in a manner consistent with Japan\u2019s emphasis on user choice for data usage.<\/p>\n Intellias adheres to the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP Act)<\/b><\/a> with respect to any personal data collected via cookies from users in India. The DPDP Act requires that personal data be processed only for lawful purposes<\/b> with consent or another permitted ground, and that data principals (users) be provided with a notice of such processing. While the Act does not explicitly mention cookies, its provisions apply broadly to any digital personal data. We therefore treat cookies that collect personal data as falling under the consent requirement. We will present Indian users with a clear choice to consent to cookies and will not deploy non-essential cookies without explicit consent<\/b>, following the Act\u2019s opt-in model. By accepting our cookie banner, you provide consent for the specified purposes.<\/b> We also ensure our cookie consent mechanism meets the expected standards of being free, specific, informed, and unambiguous<\/b> (the DPDP Act emphasizes that consent must be given after being provided itemized details of personal data processing).<\/p>\n Our Privacy Policy<\/a> and this Cookie Policy together serve as a notice under Section 6 of the Act, disclosing the categories of personal data, purpose of processing, and details of third-party involvement. Under the DPDP Act, you have rights such as the right to access<\/b> the personal data we have about you, the right to correct<\/b> inaccuracies, the right to erase<\/b> personal data (subject to certain exceptions), and the right to grievance redressal<\/b>. If you wish to exercise any of these rights with respect to cookie data, you may contact our designated Data Protection Officer<\/b> or email privacy@intellias.com<\/a>. We will acknowledge and act on your requests as required by the law and forthcoming regulations. Additionally, India may establish Consent Managers<\/b> (Data Fiduciaries) for managing consent; once those frameworks are in place, we will integrate with any industry-standard consent managers to honour your preferences across services. We do not process any \u201cpersonal data of children\u201d or \u201csensitive personal data\u201d via cookies, to our knowledge. If that changes, we will seek verifiable parental consent for under-18 users and implement age-gating as needed, in line with the Act\u2019s requirements. We also will ensure that any transfer of personal data from India to outside India aligns with the whitelisted countries or conditions that the Indian government will notify (until rules are specified, we will be conservative about transferring Indian personal data abroad, like our approach with other jurisdictions).<\/p>\n Our cookie practices in Egypt comply with Egypt\u2019s Personal Data Protection Law No. 151 of 2020 (PDPL)<\/b><\/a>. The law requires that we obtain the explicit consent<\/b> of the individual before processing their personal data, except in certain limited circumstances (such as if the data is publicly available by law, necessary for a contract with the individual, etc.). Since cookies on our site are not strictly necessary for any contract and often involve personal data (like device identifiers, usage data), we treat them as requiring consent. In line with PDPL and anticipated regulations, we will not deploy cookies that collect personal data from Egyptian users without first obtaining clear consent<\/b>. Our cookie banner thus serves as a request for your consent in Egypt.<\/b> The PDPL also emphasizes transparency \u2013 we must inform you of the specific purposes of data collection, the extent of data collected, and your rights. This Cookie Policy and our Privacy Policy<\/a> together fulfil that notice obligation by detailing what data cookies collect and how we use it. If you consent, we will use the cookies as described; if you decline, we will not (apart from essential cookies as allowed by law). Egyptian law classifies data about children and sensitive data as special categories \u2013 we do not use cookies to target or collect such data, and if we ever do, we will follow the law\u2019s stricter rules (like obtaining guardian consent for children, or a license from the Egyptian Data Protection Center for processing sensitive data). Egypt\u2019s PDPL also gives individuals rights including the right to withdraw consent, the right to request access to your personal data, and to request deletion or correction. We have processes in place to honour such requests. We have also appointed a representative in Egypt if required and will register our data processing with the regulator once that regime is implemented. Non-compliance with the PDPL can carry heavy fines and even criminal penalties, and Intellias is fully committed to respecting the law (we have taken steps like conducting assessments of our cookie usage considering PDPL). In summary, Egyptian users can rest assured that no non-essential cookies will track them without consent, and that they can exercise their PDPL rights by contacting us.<\/p>\n We handle personal data from cookies of Saudi Arabia residents in accordance with the Saudi Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL)<\/b>,<\/a> as amended in 2023, and its implementing regulations. The PDPL\u2019s core principle is that personal data cannot be processed without the consent of the data subject<\/b>, unless an exception applies. Therefore, for cookies that collect personal data (which may include online identifiers, device information, etc.), we rely on obtaining your consent via the cookie banner before setting those cookies on your device. We will not treat your continued use of the site as implied consent; only an affirmative opt-in will count (to ensure alignment with the PDPL\u2019s standards, which mirror GDPR-like consent requirements).<\/p>\n You have the right under PDPL to withdraw your consent<\/b> at any time; withdrawing consent will not affect the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal. The PDPL also grants rights such as the right to request deletion of your personal data, which we will accommodate for cookie data (bearing in mind we might need to ask our third-party processors to delete data on their end as well). We provide this Cookie Policy as part of our obligation to have a clear privacy policy available to data subjects before collecting their data<\/b>, covering the necessary information (purpose of collection, how data will be used, etc.). As for cross-border transfers<\/b>, the Saudi PDPL currently requires that personal data not be transferred outside KSA unless certain conditions are met, which likely will include that the destination country has adequate privacy laws or that the Saudi authorities (SDAIA\/NDMO) approve the transfer or an exemption (such as the individual\u2019s consent or necessity for a contract) applies.<\/p>\n In the context of cookies, if any personal data) were to be transferred out of Saudi, we will ensure an exemption applies \u2013 the most straightforward in this context would be obtaining your explicit consent for the transfer<\/b>. By consenting to, say, an analytics cookie, you would also be informed that data will leave KSA and consent to that transfer. We will also limit such transfers to the minimum data necessary and ensure the foreign recipients treat it confidentially. The Saudi PDPL also has data minimization and security requirements \u2013 we operate under those principles (only collecting what is necessary through cookies and securing all personal data). Saudi users can contact us or our representative in KSA (when appointed) to exercise their rights or with any complaints. We are within the PDPL\u2019s first year of enforcement (as of 2024) and will adjust any practices as new regulations (like the detailed Transfer Regulations)<\/b> get implemented.<\/p>\n Intellias complies with the UAE\u2019s Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021<\/b><\/a> regarding Personal Data Protection (the UAE PDPL) in the context of cookies. Similar to other laws, the UAE PDPL generally prohibits processing personal data without the consent of the data subject<\/b>, except in limited circumstances (such as when necessary to execute a contract requested by the data subject, to comply with a legal obligation, to protect vital interests, for public interest, etc.). Our use of non-essential cookies does not squarely fall under those exceptions, so we treat consent as required. We will therefore ask for and obtain consent from UAE users before dropping any cookies that process personal data for analytics, personalization, or advertising. (Strictly necessary cookies might be considered essential for providing a service \u201cexplicitly requested\u201d by the user, such as logging in or remembering cart items, which could be allowed without consent; however, we still mention their use in this policy and ensure they are limited to what is necessary.)<\/p>\n The UAE PDPL also outlines that a privacy notice<\/b> should be provided, informing individuals about the data collected, purposes, and their rights \u2013 this Cookie Policy serves that purpose for cookie-specific processing. UAE users have rights to request access, correction, erasure, and to object to processing of their personal data. We honour those rights.<\/p>\n One aspect of UAE law is Data Transfer<\/b>: the PDPL (Articles 22-24) sets conditions for transferring personal data outside the UAE, which will be further elaborated by the UAE Data Office. Until implementing regulations are fully in force, the law generally requires either transferring to countries with an adequate level of protection or ensuring appropriate safeguards (or falling under specific exemptions such as the data subject\u2019s explicit consent to the transfer). As a precaution, for cookie data, we treat your acceptance of certain third-party cookies as consent to transfer<\/b> your data to the countries where those third parties operate.<\/p>\n We also sign contractual clauses with recipients to protect the data. If the Data Office publishes a list of \u201cpermitted countries\u201d or standard clauses, we will adopt those accordingly. We also note that the UAE PDPL is influenced by GDPR principles, and we mirror our compliance measures accordingly (data minimization, purpose limitation, etc., for cookie data).<\/p>\n If you are a UAE resident and have any issue or query regarding your personal data in cookies, you can reach out to us. We have a data protection officer who can be contacted via privacy@intellias.com, and we will also abide by any guidance from the UAE Data Office regarding cookies (for instance, if certain analytics cookies might be allowed as \u201cnecessary\u201d for a service, etc., we will follow whatever the law stipulates).<\/p>\nPurpose of Cookies Processing<\/h3>\n

\n<\/b>Under the California Consumer Privacy Act<\/a> (as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act, effective 2023), personal information includes unique identifiers and internet or other electronic network activity (which can cover online identifiers, IP addresses, and browsing information collected via cookies). If our use of advertising cookies or similar technologies involves sharing or selling personal information (for example, sharing a cookie ID with a third-party ad network for targeted advertising),California residents have the right to opt-out<\/b> of that sale or sharing. In accordance with \u00a7\u00a71798.120 and 1798.135 of the California Civil Code, we have a \u201cDo Not Sell or Share My Personal Information\u201d<\/b> option that allows California consumers to opt out of the sale\/sharing of cookie data. When you use our cookie preference tool to opt out of targeting cookies, it is also treated as a valid opt-out of sale\/sharing under CCPA. We honour Global Privacy Control (GPC)<\/b> signals from browsers as an opt-out of sale (if configured in our system, we will treat it as equivalent to you toggling off advertising cookies, in line with CPRA regulations). California residents are also entitled to certain disclosures: this Cookie Policy provides the categories of personal info collected via cookies, the purposes, and the categories of third parties involved \u2013 satisfying the notice at collection requirement for cookie-derived data. For a full description of our data practices, please see our Privacy Policy<\/a>.Additionally, California consumers have rights to request that we delete<\/b> personal information collected from them or know<\/b> the specific pieces of information and categories of information collected, the sources, purposes, and third parties to whom it was disclosed. Most cookie data we hold is pseudonymous (we may not be able to identify you by name just from cookie data), but if it\u2019s linked to you, you can make a Data Subject Access Request<\/b> or deletion request for it. We will not discriminate against you for exercising any CCPA rights (e.g., we will not deny services or provide a different quality of websites if you opt out of cookies, aside from the natural consequence that certain personalized features won\u2019t work without those cookies).<\/li>\n
\nThe Delaware Online Privacy and Protection Act (DOPPA)<\/a> requires operators of commercial websites to post a conspicuous privacy policy that, among other things, discloses how the site responds to \u201cDo Not Track\u201d signals and whether third parties may collect personal information about users\u2019 online activities on the site. In compliance with this, we reiterate that we currently do not respond to DNT signals (as noted above). We also confirm that third parties (like analytics and ad providers) may collect personal information about your online activities over time and across different websites<\/b> when you use our site, but only if you have given consent for their cookies. These third parties are described in our cookie list. Our Privacy Policy<\/a> contains a section detailing the categories of personal information we collect (which includes online identifiers and internet activity via cookies) and the categories of third-party recipients, fulfilling DOPPA\u2019s requirements. If any changes materially affect our handling of cookie data, we will update our policies and notify users per Delaware law (as we would for all users). Delaware does not yet have a comprehensive personal data law (though it has passed a new Personal Data Privacy Act, effective 2025, which we will also monitor for compliance), but we are prepared to extend similar rights to Delaware users as we do for California users.<\/li>\n
\n<\/b>Washington\u2019s My Health My Data Act (MHMDA<\/b><\/a>)<\/b>, effective March 2024, imposes duties on companies that collect \u201cconsumer health data\u201d from Washington residents, including via websites and apps. We do not<\/i> deliberately collect health-related personal information through our cookies. Our site is focused on software engineering services and does not target health services or gather health metrics. Therefore, we do not expect the MHMDA to be directly implicated by our cookie use. However, out of an abundance of caution, if any of our web analytics or tracking activities were to involve consumer health data<\/b> as defined by MHMDA, we would obtain separate, explicit consent<\/b> from Washington consumers before collecting or sharing such data. The Act requires consent for the collection of consumer health data and a separate consent for sharing it with third parties, with a detailed notice of purpose and the right to withdraw consent. We affirm that we will comply with those provisions if they ever become relevant. Additionally, Washington\u2019s law provides consumers the right to withdraw consent and request deletion of consumer health data; we would honour such rights. Beyond the health data law, we also comply with general consumer protection principles in Washington \u2013 we do not engage in unfair or deceptive practices with cookies (e.g., our cookie consent banner is designed to be clear and not misleading). If any new Washington state consumer privacy laws or regulations (often proposed in the legislature) come into effect and apply to our operations, we will update our policies accordingly.<\/li>\n
\n<\/b>New York\u2019s Stop Hacks and Improve Electronic Data Security Act (SHIELD Act)<\/b><\/a> is primarily a data security law. It requires businesses that hold private information of New York residents to implement reasonable administrative, physical, and technical safeguards<\/b> to protect that data. Intellias maintains a comprehensive information security program that covers data collected via our websites, including cookie data that may constitute \u201cprivate information\u201d (for instance, if combined with a person\u2019s name or if it includes login credentials). We have measures to detect and prevent unauthorized access to data obtained from cookies. By adhering to these practices, we align with the SHIELD Act\u2019s mandate to protect the confidentiality and integrity of personal information<\/b>. In the event of a data breach involving New York residents\u2019 private information (which could include certain cookie-derived identifiers if they qualify), we will provide timely breach notifications as required by that law.Note: Cookie data in isolation usually isn\u2019t considered \u201cprivate information\u201d under SHIELD Act unless it includes credentials or certain identifiers plus security code, etc., but we treat all personal data with care regardless.<\/b>New York does not currently grant individual privacy rights like access or deletion for cookie data (outside of the scope of SHIELD Act\u2019s security focus), but if you are a New York resident with questions about your data, you can still contact us and we will assist in line with our general privacy commitments.<\/li>\n
\n<\/b>Several other states (Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, Virginia, etc.) have passed comprehensive privacy laws effective 2023 or 2024. While not explicitly listed in the user\u2019s query, Intellias will also endeavour to comply with those laws to the extent they apply. For instance, if you are a Virginia resident, you have the right to opt out of targeted advertising \u2013 our cookie consent tools serve as that opt-out mechanism (analogous to CCPA\u2019s do-not-sell for CA or similar rights in CO\/CT). We won\u2019t use dark patterns to obtain consent, and we will recognize Universal Opt-Out signals as required by laws like Colorado\u2019s. If you\u2019re in any state that grants rights to access or delete personal data, you can submit such requests to us (see our Privacy Policy<\/a> contact info), and we will treat cookie data as part of the data set we search. We are continuously monitoring new state privacy regulations and will update our practices as needed.<\/li>\nJapan:<\/h3>\n

\n<\/b>In these jurisdictions, \u201cexplicit consent\u201d often implies a clear affirmative act (similar to GDPR). By clicking \u201cAccept All\u201d, \u201cCustomise\u201d on our cookie banner, you are providing that explicit consent for the specific cookies you enable. If our site is ever made available in Arabic or other local languages, we will ensure the consent request is appropriately translated and clear.<\/li>\n

If you wish to exercise any privacy right (access, deletion, etc.) regarding data obtained from cookies, you can also contact us, and we will facilitate your request in line with applicable law.
