If the information is available to the general public, it may also be searchable by search engines.

Legal Bases for Use of Your Information
The laws of some jurisdictions, such as the European Union, require companies to tell you about the legal basis for using, sharing, or disclosing your information. To the extent those laws apply, we may rely on the following legal bases:
Performance of a contract: where use of your information is necessary to provide you with Open Insulin Foundation under a contract, for example the relevant Terms of Service.
Legitimate interest: where use of your information is necessary for our or others legitimate interests and where the use is not outweighed by your rights and interests. Below are some examples of such interests:
- providing Open Insulin Foundation
- improving our Services and developing new ones
- recognizing and better understanding our users, including across platforms conducting security and fraud prevention activities
- marketing and promoting our content and services
- building and managing business relationships
- conducting compliance and risk management activities
- providing and managing access to our systems
Legal obligation: where use of your information is necessary to comply with laws and regulations such as those relating to anti-bribery and corruption and anti-money laundering, complying with requests from government bodies or courts, or responding to litigation.

Most of the Open Insulin Foundation are intended for users of all ages.

We will respond within the time period prescribed by applicable law. Please note that many of the above rights are subject to exceptions and limitations.
Some Open Insulin Foundation can only be provided if we have your information, therefore deletion of your information will result in termination of such Services.

“Do Not Sell My Personal Information” (California Residents only)
California residents may opt out of the “sale” of their personal information. California law broadly defines “sale” in a way that may include allowing third parties to receive certain information such as cookies, IP address and/or browsing behavior to add to a profile about your device, browser, or you. This profile enables delivery of interest-based advertising on the Open Insulin Foundation or other sites. Advertising, including interest-based advertising, enables Open Insulin to provide you certain content for free and provide relevant offers to you.
Depending on what Services you use, we may share the following categories of information for such advertising which may be considered a sale (as defined by California law):
identification and demographics; device information and identifiers, such as IP address, and unique advertising identifiers and cookies; connection and usage information, such as browsing history or app usage; geolocation information, such as city; and inference data.
If you or your authorized agent would like to opt out of Open Insulin ’s use of your information for such purposes (to the extent this is considered a sale), you may do so as outlined on the following page: Do Not Sell My Personal Information.
Third Parties’ List – Shine the Light (California Residents only)
California residents can also request a list of all the third parties to which we have disclosed certain personal information (as defined by California’s Shine the Light law) during the preceding year for those third parties’ direct marketing purposes.

In the body of your request, you must include: “California Shine the Light Request”, your name, a current California address including, street address, city, state, and zip code, as well as sufficient information for us to determine if the law applies to you. You will need to attest to the fact that you are a California resident. We will not accept requests by telephone, mail, or facsimile, and we are not responsible for notices that are not labeled or sent properly, or that do not have complete information.
