Last Updated: October 7, 2026
This Privacy Statement describes how Anthogen Inc. and any parent, subsidiary, or affiliate controlled by, under common control with, or controlling Anthogen Inc. (collectively, "Anthogen," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, discloses, and protects personal information through the Anthogen websites, including Anthogen.com and its subdomains (each a "Site"), and through Anthogen services, products, software, and software applications made available for use on or through computers and mobile devices (collectively, the "Offerings").
Your use of our Sites and Offerings is subject to the applicable Terms and Conditions, which incorporate this Privacy Statement.
Regional Notices. Depending on where you live, additional rights and disclosures apply. These are summarized in the section titled "Regional Rights and Disclosures" below. Where a regional section conflicts with a general section, the regional section controls for residents of that region.
1. Personal Information We Collect
"Personal Information" means information that identifies, relates to, describes, or could reasonably be linked with an identifiable individual or household. We collect the following categories of Personal Information:
| Category | Examples |
|---|---|
| Identifiers | Name, username, postal address, email address, telephone number, IP address, social media account ID, account identifiers |
| Account and profile information | Profile picture, account settings, preferences, language |
| Commercial information | Purchases, orders, Offerings used, product registrations, warranty and return records |
| Customer communications | Messages, support requests, survey and form responses, feedback |
| Internet and device activity | Browser and device information, usage data, log files (see Section 3) |
| Approximate location | Derived from IP address |
| Inferences | Preferences or interests derived from your use of the Sites and Offerings |
We use these categories to provide our services to you and as required by law. If you do not provide information we request, we may not be able to provide the full experience of the Sites or Offerings, or we may be unable to meet a legal obligation.
2. Sources of Personal Information
We collect Personal Information:
- Directly from you, when you create an account, submit forms, respond to surveys, enter sweepstakes or contests, apply for programs, contact customer service, make a purchase, register a product, or return a product.
- Automatically, through your browser or device, through cookies and similar technologies, and through your use of the Sites and Offerings.
- From third parties, including publicly available databases, joint marketing partners, and social media platforms when you choose to connect your account or interact with our content on those platforms. Social media providers may share information about your interactions with our Offerings, subject to the privacy settings you have chosen on that platform.
If you provide Personal Information about other people to us or to our service providers, you represent that you have the right to do so and to permit us to use it as described in this Privacy Statement.
3. Other Information
"Other Information" is information that does not directly identify you, including:
- Browser and device information, such as device type, operating system name and version, device manufacturer and model, screen resolution, language, browser type and version, and the name and version of the Site or Offering you are using
- Information collected through cookies, pixel tags, and similar technologies
- Diagnostic, performance, and usage information from our software and devices
- Aggregated or de-identified information
- Demographic information that does not reveal your specific identity
If applicable law treats Other Information as Personal Information, we will handle it as Personal Information. If we combine Other Information with Personal Information, we will treat the combined information as Personal Information.
Device and Software Telemetry
For some consumer drives and software Offerings, we may collect drive performance data and general statistical information about how you use them. We collect this only if you install the relevant software and agree to the applicable Terms and Conditions, End User License Agreement, and this Privacy Statement. We may also collect aggregate metadata about files. We use this aggregated data to improve our products and services and our marketing. We may share aggregated, non-identifiable information with business partners, sponsors, advertisers, or others.
Cloud and Backup Services
If you use an Anthogen cloud or backup Offering, data from your device or account that you choose to back up may be transmitted to Anthogen or our service providers to store it for you and to facilitate remote access and restoration. Additional details for specific Offerings are described in the supplemental statements listed under "Product Offerings" below.

Public Areas
Information you post in community forums, reviews, or other public areas of the Sites or Offerings is public and may be seen by other users and the general public. Please do not post Personal Information you want to keep private.
Social Media Connections
If you connect your account to a social media account, certain information will be shared with that provider, with your connections, and with other users, as permitted by your settings. Use of that information is governed by the social media provider's privacy policy.
6. Advertising and Cookies
We and our advertising partners use cookies, pixel tags, and similar technologies on the Sites and Offerings and on third-party websites to:
- Measure and improve the Sites and Offerings
- Serve advertisements that may interest you, including through behavioral and cross-context advertising
- Measure the performance of our campaigns
These partners may collect information about your online activity over time and across different websites, apps, and devices. Our full Cookie Statement, including the Anthogen Cookie Tables, describes the cookies we use, their purposes, and their durations.
Your Cookie Choices
- Cookie preferences. Where required by law (including in the EEA, UK, and Switzerland), we will ask for your consent before setting non-essential cookies. You can change your choices at any time through the cookie settings on the Sites.
- Opt-out of targeted advertising. You can opt out through the Digital Advertising Alliance at http://optout.aboutads.info/, the Network Advertising Initiative at http://optout.networkadvertising.org/, or in mobile apps through the AppChoices app at www.aboutads.info/appchoices.
- Global Privacy Control. We honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals as a valid request to opt out of sale and sharing of Personal Information for the browser or device on which the signal is sent.
- Browser settings. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies. Opt-outs placed through the tools above are stored in cookies on the specific browser and device. Deleting cookies or switching devices will require you to opt out again.
Opting out of targeted advertising does not stop general, non-personalized advertising.
Analytics and Security Tools
- Google Analytics. We use Google Analytics to understand how the Sites are used and to report on trends. For registered users, we may combine this information with other information you provide to improve our services. Google may collect information about your use of other websites and apps. Learn about Google's practices at https://policies.google.com/privacy/partners. You can opt out by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
- Google reCAPTCHA. On some forms we use reCAPTCHA to distinguish humans from automated bots and prevent abuse. reCAPTCHA may use cookies, IP address, date and time, language, screen size and resolution, and mouse movements. Its use is subject to Google's Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.
Do Not Track
Our Sites and Offerings do not currently respond to browser "Do Not Track" signals. We do respond to Global Privacy Control signals as described above.
7. Third-Party Services and Links
This Privacy Statement does not cover third-party websites, services, or platforms, including those that we link to or that you access through the Sites or Offerings, such as third-party messaging services, social media providers, app stores, operating system providers, wireless carriers, or device manufacturers. Those organizations' practices are governed by their own policies. A link does not imply our endorsement of the linked site or service.
8. Security
We maintain reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect Personal Information against loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, and alteration. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. If you believe your account or information has been compromised, contact us immediately using the details in Section 15. Security researchers may report vulnerabilities as described in the Anthogen Responsible Vulnerability Disclosure Policy.
9. Data Retention
We keep Personal Information only as long as needed for the purposes described in this Privacy Statement, unless a longer period is required or permitted by law. Our retention decisions consider:
- The length of our relationship with you and your use of the Sites or Offerings
- Legal, tax, accounting, or contractual obligations, such as keeping transaction records for a required period
- Whether retention is advisable in light of legal claims, statutes of limitations, or regulatory investigations
When retention is no longer required, we delete or de-identify the information. [Insert specific retention schedules by data category, as required for GDPR Article 13 and CCPA disclosures.]
10. Children's Privacy
The Sites and Offerings are not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect Personal Information from:
- Children under 13 in the United States, consistent with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA)
- Children under 16 in the EEA and UK, or a lower age set by local law (not below 13)
- Children under the age of majority where that age is higher than the above in their country of residence
If we learn that we have collected Personal Information from a child without the required parental consent, we will delete it promptly. Parents or guardians who believe their child has provided us with Personal Information should contact us using the details in Section 15.
11. International Data Transfers
We are headquartered in the United States, and we and our service providers may process Personal Information in the United States and other countries where we have facilities or engage service providers. These countries may have data protection laws different from those in your country of residence, and authorities in those countries may in certain circumstances access Personal Information.
When we transfer Personal Information from the EEA, UK, or Switzerland to countries that have not received an adequacy decision, we rely on appropriate safeguards, including the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses and, where applicable, the UK International Data Transfer Addendum. [If Anthogen Inc. is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, UK Extension, or Swiss-U.S. DPF, insert here.] You may request a copy of these safeguards by contacting us using the details in Section 15.
