The United States may have data protection laws that are different than the laws in effect in the country in which you are located. Where we transfer your Personal Data out of the EEA, the UK or Switzerland, we will take steps to ensure that your Personal Data receives an adequate level of protection and your rights continue to be protected. 
 

Privacy Rights

You have certain rights regarding our collection and use of your Personal Data, including to review, correct, or update your Personal Data, or if you would like to direct us to not sell or license your Personal Data.  To exercise those rights, you must submit a request by either calling us at 734-887-3903 or utilizing the “Contact Us” tab on our Site.  We may ask you to provide additional information to verify your request.  We will respond to your verified request as soon as reasonably practicable, but no later than forty-five (45) days after receipt.  If circumstances cause any delay in our response, you will be promptly notified and provided a date for our response.  Esperion does not discriminate or retaliate against anyone for exercising their individual rights under applicable laws, rules, or regulations.

In accordance with applicable law, you may have the right to:

• Request confirmation of whether we are processing Personal Data about you;
• Obtain access to or a copy of your Personal Data;
• Receive an electronic copy of Personal Data that you have provided to us, or ask us to send that information to another party (the “right of data portability”);

Although Esperion makes good faith efforts to provide individuals with access to their Personal Data, there may be circumstances in which Esperion is unable to provide access, including but not limited to, where the information contains legal privilege, would compromise others’ privacy or other legitimate rights, where the burden or expense of providing access would be disproportionate to the risks to the individual’s privacy in the case in question, or where it is commercially proprietary.  If Esperion determines that access should be restricted in any particular instance, we will provide you with an explanation as to why that determination has been made and a contact point for any further inquiries.

Esperion is not required to delete information if it is necessary to retain your information to:

• Engage in public or peer-reviewed scientific, historical, or statistical research in the public interest that adheres to all other applicable ethics and privacy laws, when deletion of the information is likely to render impossible or seriously impact the achievement of such research, if you have provided informed consent.
