Vifor Pharma Privacy Policy for www.thevaultresources.co.uk

We, Vifor Pharma Management Ltd. (“Vifor”), are committed to protecting your personal data in compliance with applicable laws and our data privacy policies. This privacy policy explains what information relating to you Vifor may collect; the means by which we may collect, use, or share your personal data; how we store, process and protect this information; and your data privacy rights.

“Personal data” is any information by which you can be individually identified either directly or indirectly; such as name, address, telephone number, email address or other information that relates to you.

What personal data do we collect and why?

Through or in connection with this website we collect and use personal data as follows:

  • We collect and store access data that is automatically transmitted to us by your browser when you visit our website. Data recorded for communication between your browser and our web server during a connection may include information concerning your IP address, geographic location, browser used, language and version of the browser software, resources you have accessed and similar information. We use this data for our legitimate business interests to run, maintain and secure our websites and network systems.
  • If you send us a question or other communication using the contact form on this website or otherwise such as by email, we use that information to respond to your request;
  • If you send us an adverse event report or other safety information for pharmacovigilance, we record and process that information in accordance with our legal obligations;
  • We ask you to indicate whether you are a healthcare professional, a member of the public or someone who has been prescribed our product, so that we can direct you to the appropriate part of the website. This information is collected anonymously.
  • If you subscribe on this website to receive electronic communications, we use the details you provide in order to manage your subscription. You are able to unsubscribe at any time by contacting us as specified below;
  • If you have consented to the setting of marketing or tracking cookies, we could collect information about your activity on this website to make our content and our communications with you more relevant to your fields of professional interest. Please refer to our Cookie Policy for more information about the cookies we use on this website and to manage your cookie preferences.
  • We use a website analytics service to track the use of the website using cookies, to help us to understand the use of our website and how we can improve it. This service involves the collection and use of the IP (internet protocol) address of your computer or device.

We may aggregate personal data collected through this website for statistical purposes.

The legal basis for the collection and use of your personal data is our legitimate interest in operating a website that allows users to send queries and other communications. In relation to personal data concerning health received in connection with the reporting of safety information, the legal basis is public interest in the area of public health. If you subscribe to receive electronic communications, your consent is the legal basis for processing the associated personal data and for gathering statistics on interactions with our emails and other electronic communications. We do that to help us improve the communications and ensure that they are useful and relevant. You are able to withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us as specified below.

With whom do we share your personal data?

We may share your personal data with other companies of the Vifor Pharma Group to collect the information required to respond to your request or for the other purposes specified in this privacy policy. Companies of the Vifor Pharma Group are specified at https://www.viforpharma.com/en/about-vifor-pharma/global-presence.

We work with third-party service providers who help us to collect and process safety information or who provide other services such as technical support or data hosting. These service providers may have access to your personal data in order to provide the services.

We may also disclose your personal data to:

  • official authorities where applicable by law (e.g. reporting adverse events for pharmacovigilance), court order or other legal proceeding;
  • our legal and other expert advisors;
  • distributors, license partners or other companies with whom we collaborate for the purposes specified in this privacy policy.

Our service providers and collaboration partners are legally bound to keep all personal data confidential and to use such information only to perform the services for which we engaged them or to comply with legal obligations.

We could disclose your personal data to third parties in connection with the sale or transfer of all or part of our business, in which case we would require the third parties to treat those data in accordance with this privacy policy.

Some of the above-mentioned parties who receive your personal data may be located outside the country where you live, including in countries not regarded by the competent authorities as providing an adequate level of protection for personal data. In such cases, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your personal data such as EU standard contractual clauses. A copy of these clauses may be obtained from our Data Protection Officer (GroupDPO@viforpharma.com).

We store your personal data for as long as required to fulfill the purposes outlined in this privacy policy, unless a longer or shorter retention period is required or permitted by law. Personal data that you provide when you subscribe to receive electronic communications are erased 5 years after the date of our last interaction with you. By law we must store your personal data relating to safety information for at least ten years after the medicinal product is no longer available.

What are your rights regarding your personal data?

You are entitled at any time to access your personal data that we hold. To the extent legally permissible, you can request that your data be erased, that errors be corrected or that processing of your personal data be restricted. You can also object to our processing of your personal data or exercise your right of data portability where applicable.
