Magenta Therapeutics, Inc. Privacy Shield Policy
Effective March 9, 2018; amended February 11, 2019; amended February 23, 2022
This Privacy Shield Policy (“Policy”) applies only to Personal Data that Magenta Therapeutics, Inc. (“Magenta”) received in reliance upon Privacy Shield. On July 16, 2020, the Court of Justice of the European Union invalidated Privacy Shield as a means of transferring personal data from the European Economic Area (EEA) and the United Kingdom (UK) to the United States. On September 8, 2020, the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner concluded that the Swiss/US Privacy Shield does not provide an adequate level of protection for personal data transferred from Switzerland to the United States. Magenta continues to apply the terms of this Policy to personal data previously transferred from the EEA and Switzerland pursuant to Privacy Shield.
Scope:
Magenta complies with the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework and the Swiss – U.S. Privacy Shield Framework as set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce regarding the processing of personal data transferred from the EU and Switzerland to the U.S. (for these purposes, reference to the EU also includes the European Economic Area countries of Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway). Magenta has certified that it adheres to the Privacy Shield Privacy Principles (described below). If there is any conflict between the policies in this Policy and the Privacy Shield Principles, the Privacy Shield Principles shall govern. To learn more about the Privacy Shield program, and to view our certification page, please visit https://www.privacyshield.gov.

Magenta also employs access restrictions, limiting the scope of employees who have access to Personal Data. Further, Magenta uses secure encryption technology to protect certain categories of Personal Data. Despite these precautions, no data security safeguards guarantee 100% security all of the time.
