Clinical Research Privacy Policy
Introduction
This Privacy Policy explains how Aspire Clinical Trials ("we," "our," "us") collects, uses, shares, and protects personal information related to participation in our clinical research studies. Protecting participant privacy is fundamental to our mission, and we are committed to handling personal information responsibly and transparently.
Information We Collect
We collect information that helps determine eligibility for participation, ensures participant safety, and allows us to conduct clinical research in compliance with regulatory standards. This may include:
-
Personal Identifiers: Name, date of birth, contact information, and emergency contact details.

Health Information: Medical history, diagnoses, medications, lab results, imaging, vital signs, and other clinical data.
-
Research Data: Responses to questionnaires, study visit information, treatment data, and observations collected during participation.

Technical Data: Information submitted through online forms, including IP addresses or device type, where applicable.
How We Use Personal Information
Personal information is used for purposes directly related to conducting clinical research, including:
-
Determining eligibility for specific research studies.
-
Ensuring participant safety and monitoring study-related health information.
-
Complying with regulatory obligations, such as reporting safety events.
-
Communicating with participants about appointments, updates, or study requirements.
-
Analyzing study results in de-identified or aggregated form.
How Information Is Shared
We may share personal information only when necessary and allowed by law:
-
Research Sponsors: Study data may be shared with the sponsor funding the trial. Whenever possible, this information is coded or de-identified.

Authorized Personnel: Clinical investigators, study coordinators, and healthcare professionals directly involved in conducting the trial.
We do not sell, lease, or use personal information for marketing unrelated to the research study.
Data Protection and Security
We implement physical, administrative, and technical safeguards to protect personal information, including:
-
Secure electronic data systems.
-
Restricted access to authorized research personnel.
-
Encryption and secure transmission of digital records.

HIPAA-compliant storage and handling of protected health information (PHI).
Despite strong protections, no system is entirely immune to security risks. We continuously evaluate and improve our safeguards.
Participant Rights
Participants may have the right to:
