Disclosure of Personal Data to third parties

We disclose Personal Data to: legal and regulatory authorities; our external advisors; our Processors; any party as necessary in connection with legal proceedings; any party as necessary for investigating, detecting or preventing criminal offences; and any purchaser of our business; and any third party providers of advertising or content used on our Sites.

We disclose Personal Data to other entities within the Norgine group and to our business partners (licensing partners and distributors), for legitimate business purposes and the operation of our Sites, products, or services to you, in accordance with applicable law. In addition, we disclose Personal Data to:

  • you and, where appropriate, your appointed representatives;
  • legal and regulatory authorities, upon request, or for the purposes of reporting any actual or suspected breach of applicable law or regulation;
  • accountants, auditors, consultants, lawyers and other outside professional advisors to Norgine subject to binding contractual obligations of confidentiality, e.g. external Data Protection Officer, law firm First Privacy;
  • third party Processors (such as clinical trial-related service providers; payment services providers; shipping companies; Web service providers etc., e.g. Amazon Web Services, Google Analytics, Microsoft Azure), located anywhere in the world, subject to the requirements noted below in this Section (G);
  • any relevant party, regulatory body, governmental authority, law enforcement agency or court, to the extent necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims;
  • any relevant party, regulatory body, governmental authority, law enforcement agency or court, for the purposes of prevention, investigation, detection or prosecution of criminal offences or the execution of criminal penalties;

If you choose to interact with any such advertising or content, your Personal Data may be shared with the relevant third-party provider. We recommend that you review that third party’s privacy policy before interacting with its advertising or content.

If we engage a third-party Processor to Process your Personal Data, the Processor will be subject to binding contractual obligations to: (i) only Process the Personal Data in accordance with our prior written instructions; and (ii) use measures to protect the confidentiality and security of the Personal Data; together with any additional requirements under applicable law.

 

International transfers of Personal Data

We transfer Personal Data to data processors, joint data controllers and recipients in other countries. Where we transfer Personal Data from the UK or the EEA to a recipient outside the UK or the EEA (as applicable) that is not in an Adequate Jurisdiction, we do so on the basis of Standard Contractual Clauses or the UK equivalent (i.e., the UK International Data Transfer Agreement / UK addendum to the Standard Contractual Clauses).

Because of the international nature of our business, we transfer Personal Data within the Norgine group, and to third parties as noted in Section (G) above, in connection with the purposes set out in this Notice. For this reason, we transfer Personal Data to other countries that may have different laws and data protection compliance requirements to those that apply in the country in which you are located For example, we could transfer your data to European Member States (Austria, Germany, France, Belgium, Spain, Italy, Portugal, the Netherlands, Finland, Sweden), countries in the EEA (e.g. Norway, Switzerland), as well as countries outside the EEA that do not provide an adequate level of protection for your personal data (e.g. India). Non-EU countries include the United States, India, Australia and New Zealand.

If an exemption or derogation applies (e.g., where a transfer is necessary to establish, exercise or defend a legal claim) we may rely on that exemption or derogation, as appropriate. Where no exemption or derogation applies, and we transfer your Personal Data from the UK or the EEA to recipients located outside the UK or the EEA (as applicable) who are not in Adequate Jurisdictions, we do so on the basis of the latest valid version of the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses or the UK equivalent (i.e., the UK International Data Transfer Agreement / UK addendum to the Standard Contractual Clauses), as applicable. You are entitled to request a copy of our template Standard Contractual Clauses or the UK equivalent (i.e., the UK International Data Transfer Agreement / UK addendum to the Standard Contractual Clauses), as applicable, using the contact details provided in Section (Q) below.

 

Data security

The security of your personal data is of paramount importance to us. As such, we strive to implement the most appropriate and state-of-the-art technical and organisational security measures to protect your Personal Data against breaches of confidentiality, integrity and availability.

We have implemented appropriate technical and organisational security measures (such as end-to-end encryption, pentesting, incident response management, malware alerts and remediation actions) designed to protect your Personal Data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure, unauthorised access, and other unlawful or unauthorised forms of Processing, in accordance with applicable law.

Because the Internet is an open system, the transmission of information via the Internet is not completely secure. Although we will implement all reasonable measures to protect your Personal Data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to us using the “open” Internet. As such, any such transmission via the open channels of the Internet is at your own risk and you are responsible for ensuring that any Personal Data that you send to us are sent securely. It is recommended that if there is the risk identified to the transmission of data, protective measures such as encryption are used in line with commonly used methods.

 

Data accuracy

We take every reasonable step to ensure that your Personal Data are kept accurate and up-to-date and are erased or rectified if we become aware of inaccuracies or if you bring them to our attention.

We take every reasonable step to ensure that:

  • your Personal Data that we Process are accurate and, where necessary, kept up-to-date; and
  • any of your Personal Data that we Process that are inaccurate (having regard to the purposes for which they are Processed) are erased or rectified without delay.

From time to time we may ask you to confirm the accuracy of your Personal Data.

 

Data minimisation

We take every reasonable step to limit the volume of your Personal Data that we Process to what is necessary.

We take every reasonable step to ensure that your Personal Data that we Process are limited to the Personal Data reasonably necessary in connection with the purposes set out in this Notice.

 

Data retention

We take every reasonable step to ensure that your Personal Data are only retained for as long as they are needed in connection with a lawful purpose.

We take every reasonable step to ensure that your Personal Data are only Processed for the minimum period necessary for the purposes set out in this Notice. The criteria for determining the duration for which we will retain your Personal Data are as follows:

(1) we will retain Personal Data in a form that permits identification only for as long as:

(a) we maintain an ongoing relationship with you (e.g., where you are a user of our services, or you are lawfully included in our mailing list and have not unsubscribed); or

(b) your Personal Data are necessary in connection with the lawful purposes set out in this Notice, for which we have a valid legal basis (e.g., where your Personal Data are included in a contract between us and your employer, and we have a legitimate interest in Processing those Personal Data for the purposes of operating our business and fulfilling our obligations under that contract; or where we have a legal obligation to retain your Personal Data),

plus:

(2) the duration of:

(a) any applicable limitation period under applicable law (i.e., any period during which any person could bring a legal claim against us in connection with your Personal Data, or to which your Personal Data are relevant); and

(b) an additional two (2) month period following the end of such applicable limitation period (so that, if a person brings a claim at the end of the limitation period, we are still afforded a reasonable amount of time in which to identify any Personal Data that are relevant to that claim),

and:

(3) in addition, if any relevant legal claims are brought, we continue to Process Personal Data for such additional periods as are necessary in connection with that claim.

During the periods noted in paragraphs (2)(a) and (2)(b) above, we will restrict our Processing of your Personal Data to storage of, and maintaining the security of, those data, except to the extent that those data need to be reviewed in connection with any legal claim, or any obligation under applicable law.

Once the periods in paragraphs (1), (2) and (3) above, each to the extent applicable, have concluded, we will either:

• permanently delete or destroy the relevant Personal Data; or

• anonymize the relevant Personal Data.
