We also collect information directly from your device. We use cookies to collect some of this information. Please see our Cookie Notice for details of the information we collect through our site.
Why do we need your information?
Under data protection law, we can only use your personal data if we have a proper reason. We need the information we collect automatically about your visit to our site to:
- Administer our site
- Improve our site to ensure that content is presented in the most effective manner
- Analyse how visitors use our site (including behaviour patterns and the tracking of visits across multiple devices)
- Improve your online experience
We need the information you provide by contacting us directly through one of the methods referred to on our website and / or by filling in any of the forms to:
- Contact you about those services on our site in which you have expressed an interest
- Contact you to respond to any enquiries or other correspondence from you including (but not limited to) any enquiries or correspondence from you relating to clinical trials
- Process an application you have made for a job opening via our website
You do not have to give us any information or confirm that the information we have obtained from other sources is correct.
Where we process your personal data that may be classed as Special Category personal data (potentially as part of an application you have made for a job opening via our website) we will also ensure we are permitted to do so under data protection laws.
Who do we share your information with?
We may share your personal data with third parties where this is required by law, where it is necessary to perform a contract with you, or where we have another legitimate interest in doing so. We will always treat your personal data with the utmost respect. All of these third parties are required to take appropriate security measures to protect your personal information in line with our policies. We only permit them to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.
Our service providers and other third parties
We may share your personal data with our third party service providers that perform services and functions at our direction and on our behalf. Our service providers are IT service providers, our recruitment service providers, our lawyers and our cloud storage providers. We rely on these service providers in order to effectively operate our business. In the event that we sell or buy any business or assets, we may share your personal data to the prospective seller or buyer of such business, assets or shareholdings. In the event that we seek to obtain additional investment, we may share your personal data to prospective investor(s). We also impose contractual obligations on them to ensure they can only use your personal data to provide services to us and to you.
Transferring information outside the UK and EEA
The EEA, the UK and other countries outside the EEA and the UK have differing data protection laws, some of which may provide lower levels of protection of privacy. It may sometimes be necessary for us to transfer your personal data to countries outside the UK. In those cases, we will comply with applicable UK laws designed to ensure the privacy of your personal data. This may include countries like the United States of America and Switzerland, for example where this is necessary for the purposes of our commercial relationships with our investors, to send limited personal data to board members and directors who are not based in the UK or EU, and for cloud storage provision.
There is an adequacy decision by the UK Government in respect of Switzerland. This means that Switzerland is deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for your personal information. There is a partial finding of adequacy decision by the UK Government in respect of the United States. This means that the United States is deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for certain personal information which is transferred under the UK Extension to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. This means that those US organisations that are listed on the Data Privacy Framework List will not require any additional safeguards when transferring information.
To ensure that your personal information that is transferred to the United States does receive an adequate level of protection we have put in place appropriate measures to ensure that your personal information is treated by those third parties in a way that is consistent with and which respects the EU and UK laws on data protection, namely ensuring that the third parties have joined the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, or by agreeing standard contractual clauses with the third parties to ensure information is treated by those third parties in a way that is consistent with and which respects the EU and UK laws on data protection, namely standard contractual clauses.
In addition, we seek to obtain copies or access to the third parties’ data protection policies where possible and only supply the minimum amount of personal data required for the purposes of the activities mentioned above.
If you require further information about these protective measures, you can request it from the Data Privacy Manager.
