3. European Users
This section applies to all personal information collected by Gossamer via the Website from the European Economic Area (“personal data”). The processing of personal data is governed by the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) data privacy laws. The GDPR requires us to provide certain information concerning our processing of personal data.

| Purposes of the processing | The purposes of the processing are described in Sections 1 and 2 of this Privacy Statement. |
| Lawful basis for the processing | Generally, we process personal data on the basis that the processing is necessary for purposes of our legitimate interest in conducting our business in a manner typical in the US pharmaceutical industry, having taken into account any risks to your fundamental rights and freedoms (including your right to privacy). We also may process personal data on other bases permitted by the GDPR and other applicable laws, such as when the processing is necessary for us to comply with our legal obligations. |

| Information regarding the transfers of personal data outside of the European Economic Area (EEA) | Gossamer Bio, Inc. is headquartered in the USA and our Website is hosted in the USA. The laws of the USA have not been deemed by the European Commission to provide an adequate level of protection to personal data. When you provide your personal data to us via our Website or by contacting us by e-mail, you are providing your personal data directly to the USA. Before you provide your personal information to us via the Website, we request your explicit consent to the transfer of your personal data to the USA. When you e-mail us, the fact that you have chosen to e-mail us knowing that we are located in the USA will be understood to constitute your express consent to the transfer of the personal data in your e-mail (including your e-mail address) to the USA. Regardless of the differences in USA privacy laws, we safeguard your personal data as described in this Privacy Statement. If we transfer your personal data to a third party, we require the third party to commit contractually to process your personal data only in ways that are consistent with this Privacy Statement. |
| The period for which the personal data will be stored, or the criteria for determining the retention period | How long we retain personal data varies according to the type of data in question, the purpose for which it is used, and in accordance with laws and regulations. |
| Your rights to access, correct, restrict or delete your personal data and object to processing | You have the right to request access to your personal data, to have your personal data corrected, restricted or deleted, and to object to our processing of your personal data. Your rights may be subject to various limitations under the GDPR. If you wish to exercise any of these rights, or if you have any concerns about our processing of your personal data, please contact us in any of the ways listed in the section “Contact Us”. The GDPR’s data portability rights are not relevant to the kinds of processing that we do. |
| The right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority | You have the right to file a complaint concerning our processing of your personal data with your national (or in some countries, regional) data protection authority. The EU Commission has a list here: http://ec.europa.eu/justice/article-29/structure/data-protection-authorities/index_en.htm |
| Statutory or contractual requirement or other obligation to provide any personal data | Users of our Website are under no statutory or contractual requirement or other obligation to provide personal data to us via our Website. |
This Privacy Statement only applies to personal data collected via our Website. If you have provided personal data to us through some other means besides our Website (for example, in connection with a clinical study sponsored by Gossamer in Europe), you will have received a separate notice concerning your personal data. Please refer to that notice first if you have any concerns about our processing of your personal data, as that notice will contain important information and a designated contact person for concerns – but you can always contact us (see Section 7 of this Privacy Statement).
