2. CHOICE

Subject to the exceptions outlined in the “Product Safety and Efficacy Monitoring” section below, and as otherwise permitted by applicable law, Sarepta does not use or intend to use your personal information for any purpose (other than that for which it was originally collected) without your consent.

Sarepta does not disclose personal information to third parties for purposes that are incompatible with the purposes for which it was originally collected. Sarepta may occasionally transfer personal information to third parties who act for or on behalf of Sarepta, or in connection with the business of Sarepta, for further processing consistent with purposes for which the data were originally collected. Where disclosure of personal information to a third party is likely or necessary, further notice may be provided, where appropriate, at such collection points as to the intended use of the data.

With respect to transfers of individuals’ Personal Data to third-party processors, Sarepta (i) enters into a contract with each relevant processor, (ii) transfers Personal Data to each such processor only for limited and specified purposes, (iii) ascertains that the processor is obligated to provide the Personal Data with at least the same level of privacy protection as is required by the DPF Principles, (iv) takes reasonable and appropriate steps to ensure that the processor effectively processes the Personal Data in a manner consistent with Sarepta’s obligations under the DPF Principles, (v) requires the processor to notify Sarepta if the processor determines that it can no longer meet its obligation to provide the same level of protection as is required by the DPF Principles, (vi) upon notice, including under (v) above, takes reasonable and appropriate steps to stop and remediate unauthorized processing of the Personal Data by the processor, and (vii) provides a summary or representative copy of the relevant privacy provisions of the processor contract to the Department of Commerce, upon request.

Under certain circumstances, Sarepta shall remain liable for onward transfers of personal information of EEA, UK and/or Swiss individuals where the receiving party processes personal information inconsistent with the EU-U.S. and Swiss-U.S. DPF Principles, unless Sarepta proves that it is not responsible for the event giving rise to the damage.
