Privacy Policy
Last updated: September 29, 2026
AHEAD Medicine ("AHEAD Medicine," "we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy. This policy explains what personal information we collect through this website (aheadmedicine.com), why we collect it, who we share it with, and the choices you have. For purposes of the GDPR, the UK GDPR, and similar laws, AHEAD Medicine is the controller of the personal information described in this policy.
1. Information We Collect
We collect information directly from you when you use our contact and trial request forms, and automatically through analytics tools as you browse the site.
- Contact and trial request forms (Contact and Cyto-Copilot Trial pages): name, business email address, phone number, organization, job position, and any message you enter.
- Newsletter / update sign-up (the notification icon in our footer): name and email address, collected through our HubSpot-hosted form.
- Usage data: pages visited, general location, device and browser type, and referral source, collected automatically via Google Analytics cookies.
Fields marked as required on our forms are needed for us to respond to you; if you do not provide them, we may not be able to process your inquiry or trial request.
2. How We Use Your Information
For visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and other regions with similar requirements, the legal basis for each use is noted below.
- Responding to your inquiries and trial requests (legal basis: our legitimate interest in managing enquiries about our business, or steps taken at your request before entering a contract).
- Sending product updates or news you have asked to receive (legal basis: your consent, given when you sign up).
- Understanding how visitors use our site so we can improve it (legal basis: your consent, given via the cookie banner).
- Meeting our legal and security obligations (legal basis: compliance with a legal obligation).
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising as defined under the CCPA/CPRA; our use of Google Analytics is limited to aggregate site-traffic analysis. We also do not use automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects on you.
3. Third-Party Services
Submitted form data and site usage data are processed by the following service providers on our behalf:
- HubSpot — hosts our newsletter / update sign-up form.
- Our own backend systems — receive and process submissions from our Contact and Trial request forms.
- Google Analytics — collects anonymized usage statistics using cookies.
Your information is primarily processed in the United States, where AHEAD Medicine and the service providers listed above are located; our Taipei office may also access it. Each provider acts under its own privacy and security terms, and we only share the minimum information necessary for them to perform their service.
- EEA, UK, and Switzerland: where a transfer involves personal information protected under EU, UK, or Swiss data protection law, we rely on appropriate safeguards recognized under that law, such as Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission, as reflected in our data processing agreements with these providers.
- Japan: transfers of your personal information outside Japan are made to the United States, where our service providers are contractually required to apply data protection measures. By submitting your information to us, you consent to this transfer, as permitted under Japan's Act on the Protection of Personal Information.
4. Cookies
We use Google Analytics cookies to understand aggregate site traffic. On your first visit, a banner lets you accept or decline these cookies; Google Analytics only runs if you accept. You can change your choice at any time by clearing this site's data in your browser settings, which will show the banner again. Declining does not affect your ability to use the contact or trial request forms.
5. Data Retention
We keep the information you submit for as long as needed to respond to your inquiry, maintain our business records, or comply with legal obligations, after which it is deleted or anonymized.
6. Your Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:
- Access the personal information we hold about you, and request a copy of it.
- Correct inaccurate or incomplete personal information.
- Delete your personal information, subject to legal exceptions.
- Restrict or object to certain processing of your personal information.
- Receive your personal information in a portable format.
- Withdraw consent to marketing communications or cookies at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details below. We will not deny you service, charge you a different price, or provide a different level of quality because you exercised any of these rights. If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection supervisory authority.
