Incyte
Health Care
37
out of 100. Number 333 of 512, counting from the worst.
Where Incyte does well
- Arbitration 0 of 20. Nothing found.
- Renewals 0 of 20. Nothing found.
- No forced arbitration anywhere in the public documents — disputes go to actual courts (Delaware state/federal), and even DPF disputes get independent BBB National Programs resolution with a binding arbitration option only as a last resort.
- Recognizes opt-out preference signals (Global Privacy Control) via its cookie banner as a valid request to opt out of sale/sharing and targeted advertising.
- Does not knowingly collect personal information directly from under-13s and deletes it if discovered; site is broadly usable without volunteering any personal information.
- Sensitive personal information processing is limited to purposes authorized under the CCPA, and it states it does not disclose names, addresses, emails or phone numbers to third parties for their own direct marketing (California Shine the Light).
- Data Privacy Framework certified with committed dispute-resolution and access/correction/deletion rights for EU/UK/Swiss data.
- Cookie disclosure is explicit rather than buried, and the OPZELURA SMS program terms are unusually clear (1 message/month, text STOP to end).
Incyte admits it sells and shares your browsing history and website interactions with marketing and analytics firms to target you with ads.
The fine print
6 clauses and findings from the draft archive, dated 1 October 2026. The plain English comes first; the small print is the company's own words. None of these has been checked yet.

Incyte admits it sells and shares your browsing history and website interactions with marketing and analytics firms to target you with ads. The burden is on you to opt out through their webform or a toll-free call.
We Sell and Share internet or other electronic network activity information, such as browsing history and interactions with our websites or advertisements, and we have Sold and Shared this category of Personal Information in the past twelve months. We Sell and Share this Personal Information to marketing and analytics providers to analyze and better understand consumers' needs, preferences, and interests, and to advertise and promote our products and services.
-

We and our Vendors collect Personal Information in a variety of ways, including from: You directly ... Government entities ... Public records ... Research partners ... Data resellers ... Marketing vendors ... Other Third Parties, when they disclose Personal Information to us.
Privacy Policy (Sources From Which We Collect Personal Information)
-

-
The rules of the site can change under your feet with no notice at all. You would have to re-read the page yourself to discover a change.
Incyte reserves the right to modify these terms from time to time without notice.
-
Anything you send them through the site — feedback, ideas, suggestions — becomes Incyte's property, treated as non-confidential, to exploit however they like with no payment or credit to you.
Should you submit any information (e.g. feedback, suggestions, ideas or comments) to Incyte via the website, such information, except for personally identifiable information which is covered by Incyte's Privacy Policy, will be deemed to be Incyte's property and non-confidential; and Incyte shall be free to use, reproduce, disseminate, distribute and otherwise exploit such information without limitation, and without providing any compensation to you.
-
Total liability wipeout: you promise not to make any claim against them for using the site, and they disclaim all damages — direct or indirect — including for errors in the health information they publish.
You agree that you will not make any claim against Incyte based on your access or use, or inability to use, the website or its contents. Incyte shall not be liable in any manner whatsoever for any direct, indirect, consequential, incidental, special or punitive damages arising out of your access, use or inability to use the website or its contents.
How these were found
Documents read live from incyte.com on Oct 1, 2026. Privacy Policy shows 'Last Updated: May 19, 2026'. Terms of Use (incyte.com/legal-notice) shows no visible date/version stamp on the page itself. Incyte is a biopharma company with no consumer accounts, subscriptions, or purchase flows on its public site, so the auto-renew category scores zero and the overall score is kept modest — there is little surface for subscription traps or arbitration waivers. No verbatim mirrors were needed; both documents fetched successfully from the official domain. Incyte publishes separate relationship-specific privacy notices (Job Candidates, Study Participants, Non-Research Patients, HCPs, Business Contacts) that were not fully reviewed here; findings are drawn from the main Privacy Policy and Terms of Use.
