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).

Read more

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.

Read more

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.

Read more

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.

Read more

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.

Read more

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.
