1. Policy Introduction
Kazia Therapeutics, and its affiliates (the “Company,” “we” or “our”) are committed to protecting the privacy of individuals’ personal information. This Privacy Policy sets out the principles that the Company will follow in collecting, using, holding, disclosing, and otherwise managing personal information. The Company’s American Depositary Shares (ADSs) are listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, and the Company is subject to applicable U.S. federal securities laws, including reporting obligations with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
“Personal information” is information or an opinion about an identified individual or an individual who is reasonably identifiable, whether true or not and whether the information or opinion is recorded in a material form or not.
The Company is bound by the Privacy Act 1988 (Commonwealth) (the “Act”) and the Australian Privacy Principles that are contained in the Act. To the extent that we collect personal data from individuals located in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, or Switzerland, we also comply with the General Data Protection Regulation. To the extent we collect personal information from California residents, we comply with the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act.

- Consent: Where an individual has provided their consent to the processing of their personal information for one or more specific purposes.

The Company does not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 16. If we become aware that it has inadvertently collected personal information from a child under 16, we will take steps to delete such information as soon as practicable.
4. Use and Disclosure of Personal Information
At or before, or if that is not practicable, as soon as practicable after, the time that the personal information is collected, the Company will take reasonable steps to ensure that the individual is aware of the matters required by the Australian Privacy Principles and other applicable privacy laws, including:
- why the personal information is being collected;
- who else the personal information might be given to;
- the fact that this Privacy Policy contains information about how the individual is able to gain access to and correction of the information collected; and
- how to contact the Company, including to make a complaint.
If the Company collects personal information about an individual from someone else, the Company will take reasonable steps to ensure that the individual is aware that the Company has collected the information and of the above matters.
The Company will only use or disclose this personal information for:
- the purpose for which it was collected;
- any related purpose for which it would reasonably be expected to be used or disclosed;
- a purpose required or permitted by law; or
- a purpose for which the individual has provided consent.
Examples of instances where the Company may disclose personal information about individuals to third parties include disclosure to providers of services to the Company, government agencies, regulatory authorities, related bodies corporate of the Company, and professional advisors of the Company. The Company requires its service providers to keep the personal information confidential and not use it for any purpose other than performing those services.
The Company may also disclose personal information to securities regulators, including the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, as required or permitted by applicable securities laws and regulations.
The Company may disclose personal information to recipients located outside of Australia, including in the United States, the European Union, and other jurisdictions where our service providers, partners, or affiliates operate. Where the Company transfers personal information internationally, the Company implements appropriate safeguards, such as Standard Contractual Clauses or reliance on adequacy decisions, to ensure that your information is protected in accordance with applicable privacy laws.
