 with partners, vendors and other
third parties, and injunctions against our processing or transferring of personal data necessary to operate our business. Some European
regulators have ordered certain companies to suspend or permanently cease certain transfers of personal data out of Europe for allegedly
violating the EU GDPR’s cross-border data transfer limitations. Additionally, companies that transfer personal data to recipients
outside of the EEA and/or UK to other jurisdictions, particularly to the United States, are subject to increased scrutiny from regulators
individual litigants and activist groups. 

We publish privacy policies
and may publish marketing materials and other statements, such as compliance with certain certifications or self-regulatory principles,
regarding data privacy and security. If these policies, materials or statements are found to be deficient, lacking in transparency, deceptive,
unfair, or misrepresentative of our practices, we may be subject to investigation, enforcement actions by regulators, or other adverse
consequences.

In addition to data privacy
and security laws, we are contractually subject to industry standards adopted by industry groups and may become subject to such obligations
in the future. We are also bound by other contractual obligations related to data privacy and security, and our efforts to comply with
such obligations may not be successful.

Data Protection Obligations,
and consumers’ data privacy expectations, are quickly changing, becoming increasingly stringent, and creating uncertainty. Additionally,
these obligations may be subject to differing applications and interpretations, which may be inconsistent or conflict among jurisdictions.
Preparing for and complying with these obligations requires us to devote significant resources and may necessitate changes to our services,
information technologies, systems, and practices and to those of any third parties that process personal data on our behalf.

Although we endeavor to comply
with all applicable Data Protection Obligations, we may at times fail, or be perceived to have failed, to do so. Moreover, despite our
efforts, our personnel or third parties with whom we work may fail to comply with such obligations, which could negatively impact our
business operations and compliance posture.

If we or third parties fail,
or are perceived to have failed, to address or comply with applicable Data Protection Obligations, it could: increase our compliance and
operational costs; expose us to regulatory scrutiny, actions, fines and penalties; result in reputational harm; interrupt or stop our
clinical trials; result in litigation and liability; result in an inability to process personal data or to operate in certain jurisdictions;
harm our business operations or financial results or otherwise result in
