This privacy policy explains what information we collect during your visit to our website, how we may use it, how we protect it and your rights regarding data privacy.

2) What personal data do we collect and why?

We collect personal data including name, address, phone number, e-mail address and/or any other information that might potentially identify someone.

  • If you subscribe to receive email alerts from us, we use the information you provide only for the purpose of sending the alerts to you;
  • If you send us a question or other communication using the contact form on this website or one of the email addresses specified as contact points, we use that information to respond to your request;
  • Or, if you send us an adverse event report, we record, process and forward the information in accordance with our legal obligations.

We use aggregated data collected through this website for statistical purposes to help us to understand the use of our website and how we can improve it.

We use a website analytics service to track the use of the website using cookies. This service involves the collection and use of the IP (internet protocol) address of your computer or device. For more information see our cookie policy. The IP address will only be used to identify you in exceptional circumstances, such as for legal proceedings or criminal investigations.

The legal basis for the collection and use of your personal data is OM Pharma’s legitimate interest in having a corporate website which allows users to send queries and other communications. In relation to personal data concerning health received via this website, such as safety information, the legal basis is public interest.

3) With whom do we share your personal data?

We work with third-party service providers who help us to collect and process safety information and/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; and/or distributors, license partners or other companies with whom we collaborate for the purposes specified in this privacy notice.

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

Some of the above-noted parties who receive your personal data as per this privacy policy may be located outside the country where you live, including in countries whose data protection laws are 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, except in case of disclosures to official authorities. A copy of the EU standard contractual clauses may be obtained from our Data Protection Officer (data.privacy.officer@ompharma.com).

4) How long do we store your personal data?

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. 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.

5) What are your rights regarding your personal data?

You are entitled at any time to access your personal data that we have. To the extent legally permissible, you can request that your data be deleted, that errors be corrected or that processing of your personal data be restricted. You can also object to our processing your personal data.

If you would like to exercise your rights, please contact us as described in the section “How to contact us” below. Please note that applicable laws may prevent us from complying with requests to delete safety information or to restrict our processing of it.

You are entitled to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority.
