PRIVACY POLICY
This Privacy Policy (Policy) describes the privacy practices of Alto Neuroscience,Inc. and its subsidiaries (“Alto”, “we”, “us’ or “our”), including but not limited to, those applicable to the website maintained by Alto at www.altoneuroscience.com and any of Alto’s social media offerings (Website).
Protecting the privacy and security of your personal information is important to Alto. This Policy is designed to help you understand what data Alto may collect and how Alto uses and safeguards that data.
We may change this Policy at any time by updating it on our Website.
1. Personal Information We Collect
Personal Information is any information related to an identifiable person (Personal Information).
Alto will only collect Personal Information for the purpose of conducting its business and in compliance with all applicable laws.
When you use this Website, Alto may collect the Personal Information you provide us including Personal Information you may provide us in order to access specific information or participate in any of our registries or clinical studies.

We may also collect Personal Information if we conduct or sponsor surveys, business or marketing events, when you apply for employment or consulting roles and when you contact us via e-mail for information or assistance.
We generally do not collect Personal Information directly from participants that participate in our clinical studies because our clinical studies are usually sponsored by us but conducted by third party clinical sites that collect the Personal Information. The participant data that we obtain from the sites is de-identified meaning that a participant’s identifiable information is replaced with a code, and there is no reasonable basis to believe that the participant data that we obtain can be used to identify that individual. We do however collect PersonalInformation directly from participants that join our registries (in particular our Mental Health Research Registry) and in certain clinical studies that we may sponsor and conduct internally.
