Purposes of processing

 

Legal basis for processing

 

a) Correct and complete management of any communication or request you may send to Angelini using the contact addresses available on the website or the "Contact Form" (for example a request for information or assistance) [management of your requests].

 

The processing of your personal data for this purpose is necessary for the performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures (interpreted here as the "legal relationship" established between you and the data controller, following your potential request) (Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR).

 

b) Correct and complete management of pharmacovigilance reports.

 

This includes (i) investigating the adverse event; (ii) contacting the reporter to obtain, if necessary, additional information to that already provided ("follow-up"); (iii) comparing the information on the adverse event with information on other adverse events received by the controller in order to analyse the safety of the product, a generic component or an active ingredient as a whole; (iv) provide the competent authorities with the information required by law, so that they can analyse the safety of the product as a whole, a generic component or an active ingredient [pharmacovigilance].

 

The processing of your personal data for pharmacovigilance purposes is a legal obligation under the GDPR and applicable local laws (Article 6(1)(c)). The processing of “special categories of personal data” for this purpose is required in the public interest of public health to ensure high standards of safety and quality of medicinal products and medical devices (Article 9(2)(i) GDPR).

  1. Categories of data processed

The data controller may process the following categories of personal data:
