Privacy Policy
Effective Date: June 4, 2026
Vellum SMO LLC (“Vellum,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) operates this website to provide information about our clinical research services. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and protect information submitted through this site, and sets out the rights available to residents of California and other jurisdictions with applicable privacy laws.
1. INFORMATION WE COLLECT
We collect personal information only when you voluntarily provide it — for example, when you contact us via email or a contact form. The categories of personal information we may collect include:
• Identifiers (name, email address, phone number)
• Professional or employment-related information (practice name, role, specialty)
• The content of your message or inquiry
We also collect standard technical data automatically when you visit our site (IP address, browser type, pages visited, referring URL) through our hosting provider. This data is used solely for security and analytics purposes and is not linked to your identity.
2. HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION
We use the information you provide to:
• Respond to your inquiry or request
• Provide information about Vellum SMO’s clinical research platform
• Comply with applicable legal or regulatory obligations
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes.
3. DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION
We may share your information with:
• Service providers who support our operations (e.g., email hosting, website hosting), bound by confidentiality obligations
• Legal or regulatory authorities where required by law or to protect our legal rights
We do not sell personal information as defined under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) or California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA).
4. CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS — YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS
If you are a California resident, you have the following rights under the CCPA/CPRA:
• Right to Know: You may request disclosure of the categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you, the sources of that information, the purposes for collection, and the categories of third parties with whom we share it.
• Right to Delete: You may request deletion of personal information we hold about you, subject to certain exceptions.
• Right to Correct: You may request correction of inaccurate personal information.
• Right to Opt Out of Sale or Sharing: We do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. No opt-out mechanism is required at this time.
• Right to Non-Discrimination: We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your privacy rights.
To exercise any of these rights, submit a verifiable request to contact@vellumsmo.com. We will respond within 45 days as required by applicable law.
5. DATA RETENTION
We retain personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected or as required by law. Inquiry data is generally retained for no longer than 24 months unless an ongoing relationship exists.
6. SECURITY
We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security.
7. THIRD-PARTY LINKS
Our website may contain links to third-party sites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites and encourage you to review their privacy policies independently.
