More specifically, as “reporting party”, as a guarantee of the exactness and pertinence of data and its verifiability for the purpose of the scientific assessment of the reports: e-mail address or telephone number, to obtain, if necessary, additional information with respect to that already communicated (“follow-up”); and, in order to manage the report correctly, any classification as medical-health care professional (for example doctor, dentist, nurse, pharmacist, medical examiner) or type of non-health care professional, such as patient, attorney or person in relation to the subject to whom the report refers (for example friend, relative, assistant). As the subject to whom the report refers (the “patient”): initials of name and surname, city and country of residence, age (or age range) and/or date of birth, gender, height and weight and data relating to sex life or which reveals racial or ethnic origin, health of the subject (medical history, any current or previous pathologies, pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapies, pregnancy, breast-feeding) “special categories of data”) concerned by pharmacovigilance obligations, in particular in respect of “Safety information” on the medicinal product, such as adverse reactions, special situations (abuse, overdose, improper use (misuse), therapeutic error, “off-label” use, occupational exposure), exposure during pregnancy or breast-feeding, with or without associated adverse reactions, lack of efficacy or suspected transmission of infectious agent through the medicinal product;

5. Nature of data conferral

The conferral of your personal data in order to manage your requests (purpose pursuant to paragraph 2, letter a) is necessary to allow the Data Controller to process your communication: failure to provide such would make it impossible for you to receive a reply to your communication (in particular, to receive a response to a request you make for information or assistance).

8. Data retention period

We store your personal data for a limited period depending on the purpose of processing. After the expiry of this period, your data will be permanently erased or in any case irreversibly anonymized.

Your personal data will be stored in accordance with the terms and criteria specified below:

• for the management of your requests (purpose pursuant to paragraph 2, letter a) for a maximum period of 6 (six) months from the proper and comprehensive management of your request;
• for pharmacovigilance (purpose pursuant to paragraph 2, letter b) as long as the medical product is authorised and for at least 10 (ten) years after the marketing authorisation has expired;
• to comply with legal obligations (purpose pursuant to paragraph 2, letter c) for a maximum period of 10 (ten) years from when the calendar year ends during which the Data Controller has complied with the legal obligation, in order to document and be able to show correct compliance with the law (for example having correctly informed you of any security breaches that may have involved your data and the measures we took to address such situations).

For technical reasons, the termination of the processing and the consequent erasure of your personal data, or its anonymization, will take place within 30 (thirty) days from the terms indicated above. This is without prejudice to cases where retention for a longer period is required for any litigation, requests by the competent authorities or under applicable law.

Your personal data may be transferred to countries outside the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA) which, however, offer an adequate level of data protection, as established by specific resolutions issued by the European Commission (https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection/adequacy-decisions_en).

The transfer of your personal data to countries that do not belong to the EU/EEA and that do not ensure adequate levels of protection will be carried out only after the Data Controller and the recipients of the data have concluded specific agreements, containing safeguard clauses and appropriate guarantees for the protection of your personal data, so-called "standard contractual clauses", also approved by the European Commission, (https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection/standard-contractual-clauses-scc/standard-contractual-clauses-international-transfers_en) or if the transfer is necessary for the management of your requests.

You can contact the Data Controller or the DPO at the addresses indicated above (paragraph 1) to request the complete and updated list of transfers to countries outside the EU/EEA, as well as find out about the specific guarantees adopted and request a copy if you want.
