Privacy Policy

Eolas Biosciences takes the appropriate handling of personally identifying information very seriously. We implement robust measures to protect such information and have established a privacy policy that is adhered to by all company management and employees. Details of our privacy policy are laid out below.

1. Definition of personal information

Personal information refers to information obtained from entities we deal with (pharmaceutical and bio-venture companies, medical institutes, universities and public research institutes) that can be used to identify an individual person. This includes information that can be combined with other information to readily identify an individual person. Personal information includes but is not limited to organization name, department, address, name, telephone number, email address, title, qualifications, details of inquiries etc.

 

2. Information protection and compliance with laws

The personal information we manage is handled in accordance with our information security system (ISMS) in order to protect it from leakage, corruption or loss. It is also handled in compliance with all relevant laws, national guidelines and other standards.

We use the personal information we obtain only for the purposes listed below and never use it for any other purpose. Personal information will be used for other purposes only if consent for that purpose has been obtained from the relevant person.

When consent is given to release personal information to a third party, the information release takes place under a confidentiality agreement with that third party.

5. Access rights

We will promptly address requests relating to the personal information we store. For example, confirmation on the type of information we hold and how it is being used, corrections and deletion or destruction of the information, and requests for non-divulgence to third parties.
