Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Flagship Pioneering Holdings (“Flagship Pioneering Holdings,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) handles information in connection with this website (the “Site”). Flagship Pioneering Holdings is a company owned and operated by Flagship Pioneering, with offices at 140 First Street, Suite 505, Cambridge, MA 02141, USA.

The Site is an informational website. It describes our company and the marketing and customer-acquisition services we provide to companies founded within Flagship Labs. The only interactive feature on the Site is the ability to contact us by email. This policy applies solely to this Site and not to any other website, product, or service.

Information we collect

We collect very limited information:

• Information you choose to provide. If you email us at contact@flagshippioneering.holdings, we receive your email address, your name (if you include it), and any information contained in your message. Providing this information is entirely voluntary.
• Information collected automatically. As with most websites, our hosting provider automatically records standard technical information when you visit the Site, such as your IP address, browser type and settings, the pages you request, referring pages, and the date and time of your request. This information is used to operate, secure, and maintain the Site.

We do not use cookies, web beacons, advertising trackers, or third-party analytics services on this Site. We do not build profiles of visitors, and the Site does not collect payment information or other sensitive personal data.

How we use information

We use the limited information described above to:

• respond to your inquiries and communicate with you;
• operate, maintain, secure, and improve the Site;
• detect, prevent, and address technical issues, fraud, or misuse; and
• comply with applicable law and enforce our Terms of Service.

We do not sell or rent your personal information, and we do not use it for advertising.

Legal bases for processing

Where the EU or UK General Data Protection Regulation applies, we process personal information on the basis of our legitimate interests in operating and securing the Site and responding to inquiries; on the basis of your consent where you contact us voluntarily; and where necessary to comply with a legal obligation.

How we share information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information only in these limited circumstances:

• Service providers. We use Vercel Inc. to host the Site. Our hosting provider processes technical log data on our behalf in order to deliver the Site.
• Corporate affiliates. As a company owned and operated by Flagship Pioneering, we may share inquiries internally with the appropriate personnel at Flagship Pioneering in order to respond to you.
• Legal and safety. We may disclose information if required by law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request, or where necessary to protect the rights, safety, or property of Flagship Pioneering Holdings or others.

Data retention

We retain email correspondence for as long as necessary to respond to your inquiry and for our legitimate business and legal purposes, after which it is deleted or archived. Automatically collected server logs are retained by our hosting provider for a limited period and then discarded.

Security

We maintain reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect information against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your rights and choices

Depending on where you live, you may have rights regarding your personal information, including the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict the use of your information, and the right to object to certain processing. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at contact@flagshippioneering.holdings, and we will respond consistent with applicable law. Because the only information actively submitted through the Site is what you send us by email, you can also limit the information we hold simply by choosing what to include in your message.

International visitors

The Site is operated from the United States. If you contact us from outside the United States, any information you provide will be transferred to and processed in the United States, where data protection laws may differ from those in your country.

Children’s privacy

The Site is intended for a business audience and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 16. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.

Third-party links

The Site contains links to third-party websites, including FlagshipPioneering.com. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those websites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. Your continued use of the Site after any changes indicates your acceptance of the updated policy.
