This Privacy Notice
This Privacy Notice applies to all your (and/or your child’s) personal data we collect online, by phone, e-mail or post, or in any other form as part of the adverse event/special situation reporting regulations applicable to Avanzanite, as part of the product complaint report or as a part of medical inquiries. We may also collect this information about you (and/or your child) through specific forms submitted by you on a site that is owned or controlled by Avanzanite.
If you (and/or your child) are a patient we may also be provided with information about you (and/or your child) by a third party reporting an adverse event or special situation that affected you (and/or your child). Such third parties may include medical professionals (doctors, pharmacists or nurses), relatives or other members of the public.
Information we collect and why we collect it
Pharmacovigilance (adverse events and special situations)
Avanzanite is legally obliged to adhere to the pharmacovigilance legislation, including the Good Pharmacovigilance Practices. This requires us to collect specific data for reasons of public interest in the area of public health (Articles 6(1)(c) and 9(2)(i) of the GDPR). When we receive an adverse event or a special situation report there is generally the reporter and the patient/person who is the subject of the report.
Patients (subject of report)
We collect personal data about you (and/or your child) when you or a third party (for example your doctor or pharmacist) provides us with information in relation to an adverse event or a special situation that affected you (and/or your child). Where you are reporting the adverse event or the special situation yourself, please also refer to the Reporters section.
Pharmacovigilance laws require us to take “detailed records” of every adverse event or special situation passed to us to allow the event to be evaluated and collated with other adverse events or special situations recorded about that product. The personal data that we may collect about you (and/or your child) when you (and/or your child) are the subject of an adverse event report or special situation report are:
- name or initials;
- age and date of birth;
- gender;
- weight and height;
- details of the product causing the reaction, including the dosage you (and/or your child) have been taking or were prescribed, the reason you (and/or your child) have been taking or were prescribed the product and any subsequent change to your (and/or your child’s) usual regimen;
- details of other medicines or remedies you (and/or your child) are taking or were taking at the time of the reaction, including the dosage you (and/or your child) have been taking or were prescribed, the period of time you (and/or your child) were taking that medicine, the reason you (and/or your child) have been taking that medicine and any subsequent change to your (and/or your child’s) regimen;
- details of the adverse reaction, the treatment you (and/or your child) received for that reaction, and any long-term effects the reaction has caused;
- other medical history considered relevant by the reporter, including documents such as lab reports, medication histories and patient histories.
This information is only processed where relevant and necessary to document your (and/or your child) adverse event or special situation properly and for the purpose of meeting our pharmacovigilance, safety, and any other legal requirements. These requirements exist to allow us and competent authorities (such as the European Medicines Agency) to evaluate adverse events and special situations and make efforts to prevent similar events from happening in the future and to update the product information as available in the packages with your medicines.
Reporters
We collect information about you as reporter when you provide us with information in relation to an adverse event or a special situation you report.
Pharmacovigilance laws require us to ensure that adverse events and special situations are traceable and available for follow-up. As a result, we must keep sufficient information about reporters to allow us to contact them once we have received the report. The personal data that we may collect about you as reporter when you report an adverse event or a special situation is your:
- name;
- contact details (which may include your address, e-mail address, phone number or fax number) needed to perform effective follow-up to ensure complete and accurate data is collected;
- profession (this information may determine the questions you are asked about an adverse event or a special situation, depending on your assumed level of medical knowledge); and
- relationship with the subject of the report.
Where you (or your child) are also the patient in the report, this information may be combined with the information you provide in relation to your (and/or your child’s) reaction.
Retention period
Due to their importance to public health and in accordance with this law, pharmacovigilance-related personal information is typically kept for no less than 25 years after the withdrawal of the active ingredient of the product in the last country where the product is marketed.
Product quality complaints
Avanzanite is under a legal obligation under product safety and quality legislation in responding to your product quality complaints (Articles 6(1)(c) and 9(2)(i) of the GDPR). The Personal Data we may collect about you (and/or your child) when you (and/or your child) are the subject of a product quality complaint report are:
- Name;
- Contact details (for follow up purposes);
- Details on the relevant product and events.
This Personal Data may include information that is considered by law to be “sensitive” (health, ethnicity, religion, sexual life).
Medical inquiry
Avanzanite is under a legal obligation under product safety and quality legislation in responding to your medical inquiries (Articles 6(1)(c) and 9(2)(i) of the GDPR). The Personal Data we may collect about you (and/or your child) when you (and/or your child) are the subject of a medical inquiry report are:
- Name;
- Contact details (for follow up purposes);
- Details of your inquiry as provided by you.
This Personal Data may include information that is considered by law to be “sensitive” (health, ethnicity, religion, sexual life).
How do we use and share Personal Data
As part of meeting our obligations, we may use and share Personal Data to:
- investigate the adverse event, special situation, product quality compliant or medical inquiry;
- contact you for further information about the adverse event, special situation, product quality compliant or medical inquiry you reported;
- collate the information with information about other adverse events, special situations, product quality complaints or inquiries received by Avanzanite to analyse the safety of a batch, Avanzanite product or active ingredient as a whole;
- provide mandatory reports to marketing authorisation holders of the products and national and/or regional authorities so that they can analyse the safety of a batch, Avanzanite product, active ingredient as a whole alongside reports from other sources.
We do not share any information that directly identifies any patient (such as names or contact information), but we only share pseudonymised information. Personal Data collected from you (and/or your child) in accordance with this Privacy Notice may be transferred to a third party in the event of a sale, assignment, transfer, or acquisition of Avanzanite or a specific product or therapeutic area, in which case we would require the buyer, assignee or transferee to treat that personal data in accordance with applicable data protection laws.
We share Personal Data (pseudonymised) with other pharmaceutical companies who are marketing authorisation holders or our co-marketing, co-distribution, or other license partners, where pharmacovigilance obligations for a product require such exchange of safety information.
Lastly through our partners we share information with national and/or regional authorities, such as the European Medicines Agency in accordance with pharmacovigilance laws. We are unable to control their use of any information we share, however note that in these circumstances, we do only share pseudonymised information.
We may publish information about adverse events (such as case studies and summaries). In this case, we will remove identifiers from any publications so that no individual can be recognized.

Personal data submitted to Avanzanite for pharmacovigilance, medical and quality purposes are hosted and stored in databases on servers situated in the European Union which are used by Avanzanite and have restricted access.
Our pharmacovigilance and quality obligations require us to review patterns across reports received from every country where we market our products.

Adverse events are in addition kept at the site of our pharmacovigilance vendor within the EU. Avanzanite ensures processing agreements are in place with such parties that ensure the third party also has adequate security measures in place.
