We collect your email address if you communicate with us by email, as well as other information that you might supply voluntarily. We may use this information to respond to an email or other inquiry or request, to help improve our website and our services, to customize your experience at our website and/or to send updates or notices about our organization. We may also combine this information with other generally or publicly available information to help us identify visitors’ preferences or interests. We may disclose personally identifiable information you provide via this Website to our subsidiaries or affiliates worldwide that agree to treat it in accordance with this Privacy Policy and use it for the same purposes.

CHILDREN’S PRIVACY
Our website is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. If you are under 13 years of age, then please do not use or access our website at any time or in any manner. If we learn that personally-identifiable information of persons less than 13-years-of-age has been collected on our website, then we will take the appropriate steps to delete this information.
COOKIES & COMPUTER-RELATED INFORMATION
We do not enable “cookies” on our website with one exception. A cookie is used in website system administration to keep track of movement of an individual user from one screen to another. This information may be used by our staff to detect and resolve website problems and to assist with customer support. We do not collect any personally identifiable information about website visitors in this process. Our web server automatically collects information from your computer and navigation patterns when you visit our website, including your Internet Protocol (IP) address, the computer’s operating system, the type of browser you use and the specific web pages visited during your connection. We may also track data such as the total number of visits to our website and the number of visitors to each page of our website. We may use this information, in aggregate form, for system maintenance and to better understand how our visitors use our website and services so that we can make them better. We may also share statistical or demographic information in aggregate form with third parties for marketing or research purposes. This aggregate data will not contain any information that personally identifies you.
RESPONSE TO “DO NOT TRACK” SIGNALS
Some Internet browsers include the ability to transmit “Do Not Track” signals. Because there currently is no industry standard concerning what, if anything, websites should do when they receive such signals, we currently do not take action in response to these signals.
YOUR RIGHTS
You have the following rights with respect to the personal information that we hold about you.
YOUR RIGHT TO ACCESS THE INFORMATION WE HOLD ABOUT YOU

Please note that we may apply an administrative charge for providing access to your information in certain circumstances. Any such charge will be reasonable, and we will advise you of the charge and obtain your consent before providing you with access to your personal information.

YOUR RIGHT TO OBJECT TO US PROCESSING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
You have the right to object to us processing your personal information, even where that processing is necessary for our legitimate interests (for example, where the processing is necessary for the legitimate commercial objectives we pursue in the course of our business), including the profiling we undertake to send you personalized recommendations and similar content. You also have the right to object to any results of a processing activity that prejudice your rights and that are conducted exclusively through automated systems.
You also have the right to ask us to stop processing your personal information for direct marketing purposes, including any profiling we undertake for the purposes of direct marketing.

DATA INTEGRITY AND SECURITY
We use state-of-the-art technology to keep any information you provide as secure as possible.

All our employees must abide by this Privacy Policy. Only authorized employees are permitted to have access to personally identifiable data about website visitors and their access is limited to what is reasonably needed to perform an employee’s responsibilities, such as providing updates or notices or customer service. Employees who violate our privacy policies are subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination.
CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time in response to changing legal, regulatory or operational requirements. We will notify you of any such changes (including when they will take effect). Your continued use of our website and / or services after any such updates take effect will constitute acceptance of those changes. Whenever we change our policy, we will give reasonable notice by posting a notice on our home page. Since these policy change notices last only for a limited time, however, you should check this Privacy Policy regularly to see if there have been any changes. To view our Privacy Policy at any time go to Privacy Policy located at the bottom of this page.
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
This website and the conference calls, press releases, presentations and other materials posted on, or available through, this website, contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act, as amended. Statements that are not purely historical are forward-looking statements. The inclusion of forward-looking statements should not be regarded as a representation by Seelos that any of its plans will be achieved. Such forward-looking statements include, among other things: Seelos’ ability to identify and conclude strategic transactions or other business combinations; the timing of any clinical and non-clinical trials and studies; Seelos’ development and partnering plans; Seelos’ ability to fund its operations with cash on hand through 2019; and Seelos’ strategic objectives. Actual results could differ from those projected in any forward-looking statements due to a variety of reasons that are outside the control of Seelos, including, but not limited to: Seelos’ financial position and need for additional capital to fund its operations, which may be adversely impacted if Seelos is unable to maintain the continued listing of its common stock; a partnership with respect to any larger strategic transaction or other business combination may not be available on acceptable terms or at all; Seelos’ ability to retain and attract key personnel; Seelos’ ability to raise additional funding that it may need to continue to pursue its development plans; Seelos’ ability to secure a strategic partner; Seelos may expend cash resources more quickly than it anticipates; and market conditions. Because forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified and some of which are beyond our control, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as prediction of future events. All forward-looking statements are qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement, and Seelos assumes no obligation to update the forward-looking statements, or to update the reasons why actual results could differ from those projected in the forward-looking statements. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of the applicable conference calls, press releases, presentations and other materials. Readers are urged to read the risk factors set forth in Seelos’ most recent annual report on Form 10-K, subsequent quarterly reports filed on Form 10-Q, and other filings made with the Ss and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Copies of these reports are available free of charge on our website at https://seelostherapeutics.com/ or from the SEC’s website at https://www.sec.gov.
This version of the Privacy Policy is effective as of December 12, 2018.
