WELCOME TO THE EVOFEM PRIVACY POLICY
Last Updated October 2024
At Evofem Biosciences, Inc., and our subsidiaries, joint ventures, and other companies under a common control ("Affiliates") (collectively "Evofem," "we," "us" or "our") we take your privacy and the security of your information very seriously.
This Privacy Policy ("Policy") applies to our websites located at evofem.com, solosec.com, solosehcp.com, and any other website that links to this Policy (collectively the "Site"), and any functionality we may choose to offer through the Site (collectively the "Services"). This Site is intended for those interested in products and services, including investors, job applicants, healthcare professionals, and other interested parties. This Policy does not apply to information gathered from people visiting websites for specific clinical trials sponsored by Evofem and does not apply to information that you submit to a healthcare provider for any treatment, or to learn more about or seek to obtain our products; such websites contain their own privacy statements.
This Policy is incorporated into, and is part of, our Terms of Use available at http://www.evofem.com/legal/
which governs your access to the Services and your use of the Services, unless you have entered into a separate written agreement with Evofem. Those capitalized terms not defined in this Policy shall be given the meaning provided within the Terms of Use. If you have entered into a separate written agreement with Evofem, that separate written agreement shall control, and only those terms within this Policy that do not conflict with said separate written agreement shall apply. Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms shall have the meaning assigned to such terms in the Terms of Use.
If you have any questions regarding this Policy please contact us at privacy@evofem.com.
The Policy describes the types of information we gather from people visiting our Site and from individual users ("you" or "users") interacting with our Site and Services, or interacting with us through social media, and how we use, transfer, and secure such information.

If you do not agree to the terms of this Policy, please do not use the Services. Each time you use any Services, the current version of this Policy will apply. Accordingly, when you use any Services, you should check the date of this Policy (which appears at the top) and review any changes since you last reviewed the Policy.
