The operators of this website and its pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. Hence, we handle your personal data as confidential information and in compliance with the statutory data protection regulations and this Data Protection Declaration.
Whenever you use this website, a variety of personal information will be collected. Personal data comprises data that can be used to personally identify you. This Data Protection Declaration explains which data we collect as well as the purposes we use this data for. It also explains how, and for which purpose the information is collected.

Unless a more specific storage period has been specified in this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for which it was collected no longer applies. If you assert a justified request for deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted, unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g., tax or commercial law retention periods); in the latter case, the deletion will take place after these reasons cease to apply.

Information on data transfer outside Africa
Our website uses, in particular, tools from companies based in the USA. When these tools are active, your personal information may be transferred to the US servers of these companies. We must point out that the USA is not a safe third country within the meaning of EU data protection law. US companies are required to release personal data to security authorities without you as the data subject being able to take legal action against this. The possibility cannot therefore be excluded that US authorities (e.g. secret services) may process, evaluate, and permanently store your data on US servers for monitoring purposes. We have no influence over these processing activities.
Revocation of your consent to the processing of data
A wide range of data processing transactions are possible only subject to your express consent. You can also revoke at any time any consent you have already given us. This shall be without prejudice to the lawfulness of any data collection that occurred prior to your revocation.
Right to object to the collection of data in special cases; right to object to direct advertising
In the event that data are processed on the basis of art. 6 sect. 1 lit. E or f GDPR, you have the right to at any time object to the processing of your personal data based on grounds arising from your unique situation. This also applies to any profiling based on these provisions. To determine the legal basis, on which any processing of data is based, please consult this data protection declaration. If you log an objection, we will no longer process your affected personal data, unless we are in a position to present compelling protection worthy grounds for the processing of your data, that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms or if the purpose of the processing is the claiming, exercising or defense of legal entitlements.
If your personal data is being processed in order to engage in direct advertising, you have the right to at any time object to the processing of your affected personal data for the purposes of such advertising. This also applies to profiling to the extent that it is affiliated with such direct advertising. If you object, your personal data will subsequently no longer be used for direct advertising purposes.
Right to log a complaint with the competent supervisory agency
In the event of violations of the UK GDPR, data subjects are entitled to log a complaint with a supervisory agency, in particular in the member state where they usually maintain their domicile, place of work or at the place where the alleged violation occurred. The right to log a complaint is in effect regardless of any other administrative or court proceedings available as legal resourses.
Right to data portability
You have the right to demand that we hand over any data we automatically process on the basis of your consent or in order to fulfill a contract be handed over to you or a third party in a commonly used, machine readable format. If you should demand the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will be done if it is technically feasible.
SSL and/or TLS encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as purchase orders or inquiries you submit to us as the website operator, this website uses either an SSL or a TLS encryption program. You can recognize an encrypted connection by checking whether the address line of the browser switches from “http://” to “https://” and also by the appearance of the lock icon in the browser line.
If the SSL or TLS encryption is activated, data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
Information about, rectification and eradication of data
Within the scope of the applicable statutory provisions, you have the right to at any time demand information about your archived personal data, their source and recipients as well as the purpose of the processing of your data. You may also have a right to have your data rectified or eradicated. If you have questions about this subject matter or any other questions about personal data, please do not hesitate to contact us at any time.
Right to demand processing restrictions
You have the right to demand the imposition of restrictions as far as the processing of your personal data is concerned. To do so, you may contact us at any time. The right to demand restriction of processing applies in the following cases:
In the event that you should dispute the correctness of your data archived by us, we will usually need some time to verify this claim. During the time that this investigation is ongoing, you have the right to demand that we restrict the processing of your personal data. If the processing of your personal data was/is conducted in an unlawful manner, you have the option to demand the restriction of the processing of your data in lieu of demanding the eradication of this data.
If we do not need your personal data any longer and you need it to exercise, defend or claim legal entitlements, you have the right to demand the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of its eradication.
If you have raised an objection pursuant to Art. 21 Sect. 1 UK GDPR, your rights and our rights will have to be weighed against each other. As long as it has not been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to demand a restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, these data – with the exception of their archiving – may be processed only subject to your consent or to claim, exercise or defend legal entitlements or to protect the rights of other natural persons or legal entities or for important public interest reasons cited by the European Union or a member state of the EU.
Rejection of unsolicited e-mails
We herewith object to the use of contact information published in conjunction with the mandatory information to be provided in our Site Notice to send us promotional and information material that we have not expressly requested.

4. Why is personal data being collected and used?
The personal data is collected and used for the following purposes:
(a) To allow You to access the Websites and their personalized content focused on medical information and customized based on Your specialty and centres of interests, to benefit from our Services as a healthcare professional and liaise with You in the context of your use of the Services (e.g. answer your questions, administer your account, send you administrative information about the Services, provide you with the products and services you may purchase on our Websites);
When You first access the Websites, we ask You to complete a form with Your personal data so as to enable You to register with the considered Website/App and become a member of the Anchor Therapeutics network. Please note that we may also collect additional information about You from third-party sources to verify and complete your registration information (e.g. medical ID, specialty) and help us provide the Services and personalize them. These third-party sources, have databases of healthcare professionals which they can share with us, under their own responsibility, on a selective basis because of the consent You provided to them or on the basis of any other legal ground that such third party source can rely on. Because the third-party sources of data change frequently, You should contact us if you wish to know if any data about You come from third party sources, and if that’s the case, from which source they originate.
Because our Services are limited to healthcare professionals, You must create an account on the Websites to access all of the Services. However, you may be able to access to certain limited Services (i.e.: part of the content of the Websites) without creating an account: we may use cookies and other identifiers or similar technologies (referred to hereinafter as “ Cookies”) to obtain information on the referring website, type of browser used, the content viewed as well as the date and time of your access to the Website.
To personalization is necessary for the performance of the contract between You and us according to which we deliver the Services. We analyze or deduce your preferences and interests based on a number of factors including:

This analysis helps identify links and patterns between different behaviours and characteristics to propose or recommend You relevant Services for You. This will never prevent You from accessing and browsing the Services available to You on the Websites.
For example, a User that is registered as an oncologist, but whom we believe has interest or works closely in the cardiology field (thanks notably to Their activity on the Websites), may be recommended cardiology-related content on the Websites that a User with another specialty or centre of interest would not see. Similarly, Users may receive different emails containing different recommended content;
(b) To improve the Websites and develop and improve tools and effectiveness of our Services;
(c) To provide You, through emails, pop-in, banners, video, and any other advertising format whether existing or unknown at the Date (“ Format”), with certain communications and/or targeted advertising about our products and services (or of our affiliates)and the products and services of our third-party sponsors (“ Sponsors” means pharmaceutical companies, insurers, etc., which sponsor advertisements and other campaigns such as medical content or quizzes that we may provide to You). For instance:
(i) we may provide You with contextual advertising or other content, based on the content of the visited webpage, when You navigate on our Websites;
(ii) we may send You our newsletters, based on your specialty and interests, when You subscribed to receive them, or provide Sponsors with your personal information when You have subscribed to receive their newsletters and/or offers so as to enable them to provide You with the said subscribed services;

(iv) We may send or recommend You emails with personalized quizzes, polls and other surveys or communications/advertising based on the consent You provided to our Sponsors.

We may invite You to participate in market research surveys for us and market research surveys that we conduct on behalf of the Sponsors. Such market surveys may be conducted by one of our affiliates or by a third party acting on our behalf.

For some surveys, you may be asked to provide personal information for re-contact or payment fulfilment purposes.

You therefore determine yourself which data of yours will be forwarded to the drug manufacturer.
The implementation of this data processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 f GDPR. ANCHOR THERAPEUTICS has a legitimate interest in supporting its customers (drug manufacturers) in the legally required monitoring of drugs for adverse effects (so-called ADR notifications).

What legal ground is ANCHOR THERAPEUTICS relying on to use personal data?
The Services and ANCHOR THERAPEUTICS Websites provide tailored content from multiple sources through a single interface. We offer a free source of customized information for healthcare professionals. Being a free service, the ANCHOR THERAPEUTICS Websites rely on advertising and partnership revenues to finance the development of specialized scientific content designed for practicing physicians to help in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. The optimization of advertising to provide You with relevant commercial communications and messages therefore goes to the heart of our ability to finance the creation of high-quality medical content and is the reason behind many of the uses of personal data described below.
The use of the personal data is necessary, with respect to each of the above purposes mentioned in section 4 above, to, respectively:
(b) Perform the contract entered into between ANCHOR THERAPEUTICS and You in the context of the use of the Websites and ANCHOR THERAPEUTICS Services. The performance of the contract includes knowing who You are, your specialty, your preferences and centres of interests to provide tailored content, including interest-based sponsored content and tailored commercial communications. This is particularly important because the Services are designed to provide recommended content to You. Knowing who You are is also important because the Services are not available to the general public.
(c) Respond to ANCHOR THERAPEUTICS’s legitimate interests based on the improvement of its Services;
(d) When it comes to:

If you are a member of the Anchor Therapeutics Network, we may elect to associate this information with your registration information. As mentioned above, we may also use data about You provided by third-parties. That will occur only when the third-party provider states that it has your consent to share your data or may rely on another legal ground to do it.
Who will we disclose your personal data to?
(h) In connection with the provision of advertising services, we may share some limited personal data (e.g. device identifiers, Cookie identifiers) with ad exchanges or agencies that manage advertising on third-party websites and apps on which You may see advertising.

(k) We may use your personal data to create aggregated information and anonymised data about the Users of our Services that we may share with our Sponsors for market trend analyses and to provide them with feedback on the effectiveness of the campaigns they have sponsored (e.g. medical quiz, poll, institutional information on a specific medical topic, advertising). For example, we may provide our Sponsors with the percentage of Users, having a specific specialty, who have participated in a quiz sponsored by them.
To the extent You provided us or our Sponsors with your explicit consent, we may also provide our Sponsors with your personal information at a “User level” (e.g. name, specialty, preferences and your click responses) when You are exposed to advertising through our Services or when You participate in a campaign (e.g. do a medical quiz or access content) sponsored by the relevant Sponsor. For example, we may confirm to our Sponsors whether You clicked on an advertisement on their products or did a quiz sponsored by them when You are already in the Sponsor database. However, we would only share such information with Sponsors if You have consented or are already registered in the Sponsors’ database.
(l) We may share your personal data to continuing medical education providers so as to enable them to provide their services and comply with their reporting obligations to the accrediting bodies, Sponsors might receive aggregated and/or anonymized data about continuing education activities that they support including participation and outcomes measurement.
(m) If You decide to participate to a paid market research survey, we may disclose your personal information to our Sponsors or market research companies acting on their behalf, for the Sponsor’s record-keeping and/or regulatory reporting purposes. If you choose to participate in a sponsored research market survey that is conducted by a third-party market research company, we may provide your personal information to this company. Market research companies might send us lists of individuals they wish to reach with specific surveys, and we may inform these companies which of these individuals are ANCHOR THERAPEUTICS registered users so that they can manage their survey recruitment needs accordingly. Also, some of the market research surveys made available to you through the Services require the market research company to contact you directly to conduct such survey. We will in any event inform You, before You participate in such research market surveys, of our intent to provide your contact information to the market research company that is conducting the said surveys so that you can decide not to participate in the survey. We do not disclose your answers to the associated Sponsors in a manner that identifies You.
(n) In the case You log in to third-party websites with your ANCHOR THERAPEUTICS or your Anchor Therapeutics Network log-in credentials, we may share your personal information to editors of such third-party websites (such as your name, specialty, occupation and email address but not your ANCHOR THERAPEUTICS log in credentials). Prior to log in with your ANCHOR THERAPEUTICS or your Anchor Therapeutics Network log-in credentials to such third-party websites, You should review the third party website’s privacy policy. If the privacy policy of those third party websites permits, we may receive information about your use of this third-party website, which we may then use in accordance with this Privacy Notice.

The storage in the blacklist is indefinite. You may object to the storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.
The data is processed based on your consent. You may revoke any consent you have given at any time by unsubscribing from the newsletter. This shall be without prejudice to the lawfulness of any data processing transactions that have taken place prior to your revocation.
The data deposited with us for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter or the newsletter service provider and deleted from the newsletter distribution list after you unsubscribe from the newsletter. Data stored for other purposes with us remain unaffected.
After you unsubscribe from the newsletter distribution list, your e-mail address may be stored by us or the newsletter service provider in a blacklist to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist is used only for this purpose and not merged with other data. This serves both your interest and our interest in complying with the legal requirements when sending newsletters. The storage in the blacklist is indefinite. You may object to the storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.
