At the European Access Academy, we are committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Notice outlines the types of personal information we may collect; the means by which we may collect, use, or share your personal information; steps the EAA takes to protect your personal information; and choices you are provided with respect to the use of your personal information.

This Notice only applies to the pages within the EAA website https://www.euaac.org/. Our website contains links to third-party websites. We do not endorse and are not responsible for the content of third-party websites or resources, and our privacy notice does not apply to any sites not affiliated with the EAA, even if you access them via a link on our site. You should review the privacy policies of any third-party site before providing any information.

For purposes of this Privacy Notice, “Personal Data” is any information by which you can be individually identified both directly and indirectly, including, but not limited to, your name, address, e-mail address, and telephone number.

This website is not designed or intended for use by children under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect any Personal Data on this website from anyone under the age of 16 without the prior, verifiable consent of a parent or guardian. Such parent or guardian may have the right, upon request, to view the information provided by the child and require that it be deleted. Moreover, all minors should seek their parent’s or guardian’s permission prior to using or disclosing any Personal Data on this website or online resource.

On this website, we may request Personal Data about you. Examples of Personal Data that we may collect that directly identifies you includes your name, contact information, email address, and other information in combination with these identifiers. We may also collect certain Personal Data that does not directly identify you by name, but could be used to identify that a specific computer or device has accessed our website.

We process your Personal Data on our websites for various reasons, mainly:

• To allow access to live streams and other online events;

• To facilitate Q & A sessions during online events;

• To respond to your requests or inquiries;

• To perform website analytics and measure website performance;

• To track and monitor adverse events and other activities related to pharmacovigilance; and

• To maintain the website, including for security purposes.

Our website may collect other basic information about you which may not directly identify you, but which may correspond with you or a particular device. We use some of this information to allow our websites to run, as well as to learn more about how our websites and online resources are used and to otherwise improve and administer the site. For example, we may collect the IP Address assigned to your computer by your internet service provider. This address may change each time you connect to the internet (a “dynamic” IP address), or it may remain the same (a “static” IP address). 

We do not sell or transfer your Personal Data to any non-affiliated entity. We also do not use third party advertising companies to place ads on other websites. 

We do not share your Personal Data unless required for a purpose you have given consent to, e.g. for access to an online event.

The length of time in which we will store your Personal Data will differ depending on the purpose for which we have collected and are processing your data. In most cases, we will keep the data for three (3) years following our last interaction with you. We may, however, maintain your data for a longer period of time if we are required by law to maintain your data. For example, reports related to pharmacovigilance are kept for a minimum of 10 years after the withdrawal of the product in the last country where the product is marketed.

If your Personal Data are covered by the GDPR (that is, if you are an individual within the European Economic Area), you have the following rights with respect to your Personal Data:

• The right to request access to the Personal Data that the EAA has about you;

• The right to rectify or correct any Personal Data that is inaccurate or incomplete;

• The right to request a copy of your Personal Data in electronic format so that you can transmit the data to third parties, or to request that we directly transfer your Personal Data to one more third parties;

• The right to object to the processing of your Personal Data for marketing and other purposes;

• The right to erasure of your Personal Data when it is no longer needed for the purposes for which you provided it, as well as the right to restriction of processing of your Personal Data to certain limited purposes where erasure is not possible.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the information provided on the "Contact" page of this website.

Please note that erasure or restriction of processing is only possible if and to the extent that the processing of Personal Data is based on your consent or our legitimate interests. If data processing is based on consent, note that you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time, but that the withdrawal of your consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal. In the event of an erasure request, we may retain a copy of your Personal Data for our record-keeping purposes and to avoid entering your personal data in our systems after your request.

In the event that you believe or have the impression that our data processing does not comply with the GDPR, you are entitled to lodge a complaint with the responsible supervisory authority.

The EAA takes reasonable steps to protect Personal Data we access or receive through this website from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Nevertheless, we make no guarantee as to the security of your Personal Data and disclaims, to the fullest extent permitted by law, all liability and damages caused by loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. We recommend that you take any available precautions to protect Personal Data you submit on this website.

From time to time, we may revise this Privacy Notice. Any such changes to this Privacy Notice will be reflected on this page.
