Clinical Ally Privacy Policy
Clinical Ally respects the privacy of visitors to this website as well as your privacy in associated communications with you, and we have developed this Privacy Policy which sets out how we collect information about you from which you may be identified (“Personal Information”), what we use it for and how we secure it for this website and issue follow-up communications with you.

How we will use your Personal Information
We will add your Personal Information as volunteered by you via this website, on to our volunteer database, and use it to identify and notify you of clinical trials and services which may be suitable for you to be invited to participate in. Information submitted by you via this website will create an email that is provided to us which will be deleted once you have been contacted or once the information has been added to the volunteer database.
Please note that the submission of your Personal Information via this website or the addition of your Personal Information to the volunteer database does not mean that you will be invited or selected to take part in any clinical trial either now or in the future.
Please be aware that by submitting your Personal Information via this website, you consent to a member of our team contacting you directly by way of following-up with you, including contacting you directly by telephone or other means, including SMS text messages, and adding your Personal Information to our database.
