Larimar Therapeutics, Inc. (“Larimar”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the privacy of your personal information. When you access and use this Website, we will collect certain personal information about you that may be used to identify you, sometimes referred to as “personal data” or “personally identifiable information” (collectively, “Personal Information”).
Larimar is responsible for the Personal Information that we collect about you and for making decisions regarding its collection and use.

2. Cookies and Other Data Collection Technologies
This section explains how this Website uses cookies and similar tracking technologies. We use the term “Cookies” broadly to include cookies and similar technologies such as pixels, web beacons, tags, and log files.
A cookie is a small text file that is placed on your computer or other device when you visit a website. Cookies help us operate and improve this Website, understand how it is used, remember your preferences, and measure the effectiveness of this disease awareness campaign. Cookies are called “first-party” Cookies when they are placed directly by us, and “third-party” Cookies when they are placed by our service providers. Some Cookies are “session” Cookies, which expire when you close your browser, and others are “persistent” Cookies, which remain on your device until they expire or you delete them.

This Website uses the following categories of Cookies:
- Strictly Necessary Cookies — These Cookies are required for this Website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set only in response to actions you take, such as setting your privacy preferences or completing a form. This Website cannot function properly without these Cookies.
- Performance Cookies — These Cookies help us measure and improve the performance of this Website by counting visits and traffic sources and by showing us how visitors move through and interact with this Website. If you do not allow these Cookies, we will not know when you have visited this Website and will be less able to monitor and improve its performance.
- Advertising Cookies — These Cookies may be set through this Website by us or by our advertising and media partners to help measure the effectiveness of our campaign’s activities and deliver content that may be relevant to visitors. They may collect information about your browsing activity across sites, and because this Website concerns a specific health condition, that information could be used to make inferences about your health. If you do not allow these Cookies, you will experience less relevant advertising and content related to campaign activities.

We use analytics services to analyze how this Website is used. For example, we use Google Analytics to help us improve the user experience. Google Analytics may use Cookies to perform their services.

How to Control Cookies
When you first visit this Website, our Cookie Consent Banner will appear and prompt you to select either “Accept All Cookies,” by which you agree to our use of all Cookies, or “Customize Cookies,” which allows you to choose which categories of non-essential Cookies you wish to allow. Strictly necessary Cookies are always active and cannot be turned off because they are required for this Website to function. You can change or withdraw your consent at any time by clicking the “Cookie Settings” link in the footer of this Website, which reopens our cookie preference center where you can enable or disable each category of non-essential Cookies. Changing your preferences will not automatically remove Cookies that have already been set on your device.
