5. Why are we allowed by law to process your personal data?

Our processing of your personal data requires a legal basis. By law, we are allowed to process your personal data described above in Section 3 based on the following legal bases:

We believe our purpose constitutes a legitimate interest - our processing of personal data is necessary for the specific purposes we have identified in section 4. It is a targeted and proportionate way of achieving the purposes. We cannot reasonably achieve the above stated purpose without holding and processing the above data. Our processing is ‘legitimate’ – both ethical and lawful. We also believe our legitimate interest is compelling enough to justify the potential impacts on and risks to individuals (which we believe are negligible) and we further believe that all elements of the processing would be easily understood and within the reasonable expectations of the individuals concerned.

The processing may also be necessary for compliance with our transparency and regulatory obligations.

6. How do we share your personal data?

We may share your personal data with:

  • Suppliers or vendors that assist our company (e.g., consultants, IT service providers, financial institutions, law firms)

  • (CRO and HCO contacts) Our mutual clients

  • Public and regulatory authorities

7. When do we transfer your personal data outside the EU/EEA?

For the purposes described above in Section 2, we may transfer your personal data to countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA). The level of data protection in certain countries outside the EEA does not conform to the level of data protection for personal data currently applied and enforced within the EEA. We therefore use the following safeguards, as required by law, to protect your personal data in case of such transfers:

  • (Supplier contacts) The transfer is to another of your employer’s group companies

  • (CRO, HCO or HCP contacts) The transfer is to our mutual clients or to your employer’s clients.

  • The destination countries are deemed by the EU Commission to have an adequate level of protection of personal data

  • The destination organisations provide appropriate safeguards in the form of standard data protection contract clauses in accordance with the requirements of the EU.

8. How long will we keep your personal data?

We will keep your personal data for the following period of time:

  • For as long as we hope to do business with existing and prospective clients

  • For as long as we hope to do business with existing and prospective suppliers

  • For as long as needed to provide our clients with the certification-related processing and archiving services they require (for the duration of any relevant studies and then typically for a further 15 years in archival form)
