This Notice provides general information about your privacy rights under the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and general protections under other privacy laws.
The information in this Notice applies to the University of Oklahoma's use of your personal information. To the extent allowed by applicable laws and/or regulations, we will take all reasonable measures to protect the confidentiality of your personal information and your identity.
If you decide to participate in a research study or clinical trial, you authorize OU to use, keep, and/or share your personal information ("personal data"). OU may collect and store your personal data, such as your name, sex, age, date of birth, Social Security Number, contact information, body weight, height, race, ethnicity, family history, medical records, scans, blood samples, and biopsies.

At some point, you may want OU to stop using your data. You can withdraw consent for future collection, use, and/or disclosure of your personal data at any time. If you want to make this request, you need to tell a member of the research staff. If you withdraw your consent, that will not prevent you from receiving medical care at OU's medical clinics.
