ChromaDex, Inc. and its affiliates (“ChromaDex”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) takes the protection of personal data very seriously. This Privacy Policy (the “Policy”) is designed to help you understand how we collect, use, share and protect the personal data of individuals in connection with providing our services and business operations. This Policy applies to the personal data we collect online and offline in the course of our business operations, including on our websites: www.chromadex.com, www.truniagen.com, www.truniagen.co.uk, www.truniagen.ca, www.truniagen.cn, pro.truniagen.com, aboutnad.com, investors.chromadex.com, and standards.chromadex.com.

PERSONAL DATA WE OBTAIN

Personal data is any information which relates to a person, and directly or indirectly allows that person to be identified. The personal data we may obtain includes:

• Contact information, such as your name, telephone number, and postal and email address;
• Professional information, such as your job title, company name, industry, and professional and employment background;
• Personal characteristics, such your age and birthdate;
• Account information, such as login information, account preferences and other account details;
• Information about the products or services purchased, requested, obtained, or considered (including order history, preferences, or tendencies);
• Payment information, such as name, billing and delivery address, bank account information and payment card details;
• Social media information (including your social media handle);
• Device and other tracking information, as described in the “Automated Data Collection” section below;
• Job application information, such as your resume and any additional application information provided to us (for example, employment history and education);
• Health information, such as weight, medical history, and potential adverse event information; and
• Any other information you submit through our websites or in communications with us, such as through forms, surveys, registration pages, emails, calls, comments, and other features on our websites.

If you are using our services to purchase a product on behalf of another, we may require you to provide certain personal data about that person, such as their medical history. If this is the case, we ask that you inform this person that you have provided us their personal data and make them aware of this Policy.

We may collect this information when you use our websites (including to make purchases), apply for jobs with ChromaDex, attend one of our live events, visit our booth at trade shows or otherwise interact with us (for example, when you call or email us).

In some cases, we also may obtain your personal data from other parties, such as through referrals, from your employer, our providers of recruiting services, or from our affiliates, vendors and other third parties with whom we work. We also may obtain other personal data about you in ways that we describe at the time of collection or otherwise with your consent.

Where we need to collect personal data by law or under the terms of a contract with you, and you choose not to provide that information when requested, we may not be able to provide you with our services. In this case, we may need to cancel a service you obtain from us but we will notify you if this is the case. For example, if you purchase a product from us, we require certain personal data about you (and the intended recipient of the product, if different) in order to complete the sale. Without such personal data, we may not be able to provide our products to you or the intended recipient. Similarly, if we purchase any products or services from you, we may require certain personal data about you in order to complete the purchase and without such personal data, we would be unable to procure products or services from you.
