Privacy policy introduction

This privacy policy sets out how Precirix NV (“Precirix”, “we”) uses and protects your personal data.

Precirix is a privately-held, biopharmaceutical company with its corporate domicile and principal place of business at Burgemeester Etienne Demunterlaan 3, 1090 Brussels, Belgium and listed in the Commercial Register of the Belgian Chamber of Commerce under number BE 0564.736.473. This policy applies to the personal data for which Precirix acts as data controller; in other words, where we have control over what happens with your data and how this data is handled.

Precirix is committed to ensure that your privacy is protected and will only process your personal data in conformity with the General Data Protection Regulation or GDPR (in effect since May 25, 2018). Should we ask you to provide certain information by which you can be identified when using this website, then you can be assured that it will only be used in accordance with this privacy policy.

How we use your personal data

1. Profile data or customer relationship data

We may collect and store the following information on our customers and business partners (or their personnel) to create profiles in order to facilitate the administration of our services and to maintain contact:

  • name, surname and job title
  • contact information including telephone number or email address
  • internet protocol (IP) address
  • demographic information such as postcode
  • social media tracking pixels that allow platforms such as Facebook and Twitter to interact with this website
  • other information relevant to customer and/or job offers

The legal basis for this processing is your consent OR the performance of a contract between you and us and/or taking steps, at you request, to enter into such a contract OR our legitimate interests, namely the proper administration of our website and business, our relationships with customers, communicating with customers and keeping records of those communications.

When you voluntarily provide us this information through our websites or any other information channel, the personal data provided by you will be used only for the purpose of responding to your query or your request for information. The legal basis for such processing is your consent. We will not use this personal data for direct marketing purposes.

2. Job applicant data

If you post your personal data as a job applicant, the personal data provided by you will be used for recruitment and employment purposes or –if you agree to this- for informing you of future job opportunities. The legal basis for this processing is taking steps, at you request, to enter into a contract between you and us OR your consent.

3. Clinical trial data

If you are a patient you may participate in clinical trials of Precirix’ products in order to further research and develop these therapeutics drugs. By giving consent to participate in such clinical trials, the doctor or investigator conducting the clinical trial will collect personal data of the patient, including data relating to the patient's health and pharmaceutical needs. Precirix receives this information in a pseudonymized form, which means that we do not receive data such as the patient’s name or address (Or any other contact information) so that we cannot directly identify the patient. On occasions Precirix’ employees or contractors working on behalf of Precirix, may however access the patient’s personal data at the source of collection for the purpose of verifying data. The patient data will only be processed for scientific research purposes with appropriate safeguards in place.

Personal data about the doctors and investigators conducting clinical trials and people who assist them is collected by Precirix as well. In general, the type of this information includes the name, address, telephone details, field of expertise, position, role in study and qualifications and includes information provided on Curricula Vitae and Financial Disclosure Forms. Precirix is required to obtain such data on potential or actual investigators in order to maintain quality clinical trials (legitimate interests and the performance of contracts, or taking steps, at your request, to enter this contract) and consistently meet global regulatory and compliance guidelines (legal obligation).
