Y-mAbs Therapeutics (“Y-mAbs”) Digital Community Engagement Guidelines
Our digital channels aim to support, educate, create engagement with and motivate patients, healthcare providers, caregivers, as well as media, investors and job seekers. It’s our priority to be accurate, authentic and honest online and discuss topics that are important to you. What we do is complex, but the way we talk about it shouldn’t be, so we appreciate your feedback and engagement with our channels. However, to ensure the reputation of our company and the public perception of our products (approved and in development) are protected, and managed responsibly, we will monitor user generated content on all our social media channels.
These community engagement guidelines apply to each of our Corporate digital channels below, campaign channels, and any digital channels we may add in the future (click each link below to access our existing Corporate channels):
LinkedIn: Y-mAbs Therapuetics Inc.
Facebook: Caregiver Connection
Youtube (Coming Soon!)
Twitter (Coming Soon!)
Instagram (Coming Soon!)
If you choose to engage with us via our digital channels, which we highly encourage, you are agreeing to abide by these community engagement guidelines. Our guidelines apply in addition to each channel’s own Terms of Service. Please click on the following links for Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook or YouTube to explore their terms.
1. Engage on Topic and Be Respectful
The goal is to create a thoughtful online community. Please be respectful of everyone participating online and remain on topic. If you have a question or comment that is off topic, such as specific products, therapies, business opportunities or sponsorships, please email us at [email protected] or call 646-885-8505.
2. Legal and Regulatory Topics
Y-mAbs Therapeutics is a public company in a highly regulated industry and subject to specific rules surrounding how we can communicate with the public. Because of this, we may not be able to always address your comments or questions directly on our channels.
Discussions should remain on-topic, truthful, and constructive. Please be aware we may not be able to respond, we may block/delete commenters or remove comments, replies or direct messages that mention:

3. Medical and Professional Advice
We only post educational information about our company, including the scientific & therapeutic areas we’re in, and not professional or medical advice. Y-mAbs cannot offer medical advice or engage in product promotion or discussion about treatment options made by Y-mAbs or other companies.
If you believe you have experienced any medical side effects from a Y-mAbs product, or if you need medical or professional advice, please contact your physician or healthcare provider. Should you accidentally include an adverse event or product complaint in your post, Y-mAbs may need to contact you to find out more information. This is due to regulatory requirements concerning drug safety reporting. In the United States, you may also report side effects to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) by calling 1-800-FDA-1088 or calling Y-mAbs’ Drug Safety/pharmacovigilance at 1-833-33YMABS (1-833-339-6227) or email [email protected]
4. Our Response Time
We want you to communicate with us, but sometimes we can’t always respond or engage because as previously noted, we operate in a highly regulated industry. We actively monitor our digital channels and will respond back in the most appropriate way we can.
5. Using and Storing Personal Identifying Information
Y-mAbs will not disclose or share personal identifying information on our digital channels unless we have obtained proper consents. In the case of reporting a side effect or issue with a product, we will need to store your name, location, health-related information in accordance with applicable laws. For more information on how we collect and store data, please see our Privacy Policy.
6. We May Share Your Posts
When you engage with Y-mAbs online, you grant us permission to engage back, including the use of your name or handle and the images, videos, and text associated with your posts. So don’t publicly post or tag us in anything you’d like to keep confidential.
7. Third Party Activities
Y-mAbs does not endorse third party activities across digital channels, whether through engagement or not, unless otherwise expressly confirmed in writing. In particular, Y-mAbs may decide to feature, favorite, comment on, retweet, share or create content published by third parties. Such engagement is in no case to be considered as an endorsement of the featured accounts/handles or of their activities.
Y-mAbs is in no case to be held responsible of the activity of the accounts/handles it follows or from which it selects posts to engage with, favorite, share, comment on, or retweet through Y-mAbs accounts.
Updates posted on Y-mAbs digital channels may contain links to websites and other contents that are not owned or controlled by Y-mAbs. Y-mAbs has no way of controlling the content of these third-party sites which remain totally independent of Y-mAbs.
In addition, the posting of a link by Y-mAbs towards a third party’s website or content shall in no case be considered as an endorsement of such content or website and Y-mAbs shall in no case be held responsible of any use to which such content or website may be put.
8. Additional Considerations
- You must be at least 13 years old to engage with us on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram; 14 for YouTube; 16 for LinkedIn.
- If you are an adult, and your message contains the name or likeness of a minor, you must be the parent or legal guardian of that minor.
- Your posts, replies or direct messages may also be submitted to law enforcement if we have a good belief that disclosure of such information is reasonably necessary to detect and prevent fraud or to protect the safety of the public or an individual.
We want to engage with you and hope to foster discussion across our social and digital channels. Thank you for complying with our guidelines.
