CORPORATE PRIVACY NOTICE FOR CALIFORNIA

In accordance with the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”), this Corporate Privacy Notice for California (“Notice”) discloses the personal information we collect from you and the purposes for doing so. As used in this Notice, “Longboard,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Longboard Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and our subsidiaries, joint ventures, and other companies under a common control (“Affiliates”), and “personal information” means all personal information as defined in the CCPA, which includes information relating to a particular household as well as a natural person. This Notice applies to most of the personal information collected by Longboard from California residents in the course of conducting our general business operations. There are four main exceptions:

• This Notice does not apply to personal information collected via the www.longboardpharma.com website (the “Website”).
  This Notice does not apply to personal information that we obtain in connection with clinical studies sponsored by Longboard, which are exempt from the CCPA and are separately regulated. Clinical trial participants (and their parents or guardians, if applicable) will have received a separate notice concerning their personal information. If you have any concerns about our processing of personal information in connection with a clinical trial, please see the information protection notice provided as part of the clinical trial intake process, as that notice will contain important information and a designated contact person for concerns – but you can always contact us using the contact information provided below.
• This Notice does not apply if you have received (directly or through our service providers or collaborators) a separate notice concerning our use of your personal information. This may occur when we need to provide a separate notice to meet the requirements of specific laws or when required by generally accepted good practices in the pharmaceutical industry.
• This Notice does not apply to the personal information of our employees or job applicants. An employee privacy notice is available to our employees. A job applicant privacy notice is provided to applicants when they submit their personal information to us in connection with their job application.
