Brainomix Europe Privacy Statement

Introduction

Brainomix Europe Limited is both a Controller and Processor for the purposes of the Data Protection Legislation. A “controller” is an entity that controls how and why personal data is processed and a “processor” uses, handles or works with the data under the instruction of the controller, typically one of our clients, such as a hospital.

Brainomix Europe obtains, uses, stores, and otherwise processes personal data relating to current, prospective, and former employees, website users, contacts including customer and hospital clinical and administrative staff contacts as well as contacts relating to business-to-business activities.

In this context Brainomix Europe is a Controller because we determine what data we process, why it is processed, how it is processed and the legal basis for processing.

This Privacy Statement relates to Brainomix Europe as a Controller and explains the types of personal data we may collect about you when you interact with us or when your organisation or employer contracts or is contemplating entering into a contract with us. It also explains how we store and handle that data and keep it safe.

Please note that this Privacy Statement does not apply to the processing activities we engage in, as a processor, on behalf of controllers (typically hospitals). You can find more information about these processing activities in a link at the end of this statement.

Processors

Data is stored on encrypted systems on hosted cloud services such as Microsoft Office 365 and AWS, in transit, and at rest. These processors are located within the EEA.

Transfers of personal data outside the UK and EEA

We do not intend to transfer personal data outside the UK and European Economic Area, but if we change our mind about that we will let you know (by posting a notice on our website or sending you an email):

  • details of the intended transfer; and
  • whether the country is considered to have adequate protection for personal data; or
  • about the steps we take to protect the data.

Our staff may access personal data when they are outside the EEA (e.g. UK), but the same safeguards apply as if our staff were accessing personal data from within the EEA.

In addition to EU based data centers, some data may be held in UK based data centers. We will ensure that the correct mechanisms and safeguards are in place to carry this out including but limited to EU Standard Contractual Clauses where no inter-governmental agreement is in place.

We retain your personal data only for as long as is necessary for the purpose for which we collected it.

  • Personal data relating to other business contacts is retained for 7 years.

At the end of the retention period personal data is either securely deleted or anonymised, except any personal data that we need to retain to show that we have complied with data protection law, or unless the law requires us to keep it for longer, or we need it to exercise our legal rights.

If we anonymise your personal data, it will no longer be personal data and we may keep and use it for longer.

How we protect your personal data

The security of your personal data is important to us. We have appropriate technical and organisational measures to prevent the accidental loss, misuse, unauthorised access to or unauthorised alteration or disclosure of your personal data.
