Purpose of Data Collection

Firma Clinical Research is a clinical research organization that performs data management and statistical analysis on data from clinical trials. As such, it receives and processes anonymized (key-coded) data on subjects who participate in pharmaceutical/medical device clinical trials in EU/EEA countries as well as in Switzerland. The purpose for which these data are collected and used is to record and summarize the data collected in these clinical trials. Firma Clinical Research would transfer personal information to third parties, who would be only business partners, only under instructions from the data controller, our client. When personal information is disclosed to a third party acting as an agent to perform task(s) on behalf of and under Firma Clinical Research's instructions, Firma Clinical Research will transfer the information only if Firma Clinical Research enters into a written agreement with the third party requiring that the third party provide at least the same level of privacy protection as is required by the relevant Privacy Shield principles. If Firma Clinical Research learns that an agent is using or disclosing personal data in a manner contrary to these Privacy Shield privacy principles, Firma Clinical Research will take reasonable steps to prevent or stop such processing.
