We may have to share your personal data with third parties, including third-party service providers and with other companies that are in the same corporate group as us (e.g. our holding company and our subsidiaries, and subsidiaries of our holding company).  We require third parties to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with applicable data protection law.

We may have to share your personal data with the parties set out below for the purposes set out in the table in paragraphs 5 and 6 above.

26


 

 

 

We require all third parties to whom we disclose personal data to respect the security of personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law.  We do not allow our service providers to use your personal data for their own purposes and only permit them to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.

27

International transfers

As a multinational organisation there are times we will transfer your personal data outside the European Economic Area.  If we do, you can expect a similar degree of protection in respect of your personal data.

 

We will transfer the personal data we collect about you to the United States, which is outside of the European Economic Area, for the purposes described in paragraphs 5 and 6 and to the recipients described in paragraph 7. There is not an adequacy decision by the European Commission in respect of the United States. This means that the United States is not deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for your personal data. However, to ensure that your personal data does receive an adequate level of protection we have put in place appropriate measures, namely the European Commission approved model contractual clauses, to ensure that your personal data is treated by those third parties in a way that is consistent with and which respects data protection law.  If you require further information about this protective measure you can request it from Privacy@iterumtx.com.  

9

Data security

We have put in place measures to protect the security of your personal data. Details of these measures are available upon request.  Third party service providers will only process your personal data on our instructions and where they have agreed to treat the information confidentially and to keep it secure.

 

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed.  In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know.  Whilst we take appropriate security measures to protect all personal data, no data transmission or security system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Service providers will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to obligations of confidentiality.  All our third-party service providers are required to take appropriate security measures to protect personal data.

 

We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and the Data Protection Commission of a suspected breach where we are legally required to do so.  If you have reason to believe that any of your personal data is no longer secure, please notify Privacy@iterumtx.com immediately.

 

You also have an important role to play in protecting the security of your personal data, and you should take care about disclosing personal data, and how you protect your communications and devices.  Please refer to the employee handbook and all data protection and security policies notified to you from time to time for more information about your responsibilities and ensure you attend all mandatory data protection and data security training sessions allocated to you.

 

10

How long we keep your personal data

We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

 

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

 

In some circumstances we may anonymise your personal data so that it can no longer be associated with you, in which case we may use such information without further notice to you. Once you are no longer an employee, worker or contractor of the company we will retain and securely destroy your personal data in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

11

Automated decision-making

Automated decision-making takes place when an electronic system uses personal data to make a decision without human intervention.

 

You will not be subject to decisions that will have a significant impact on you based solely on automated decision-making, unless we have a lawful basis for doing so and we have notified you.  We do not envisage that any decisions will be taken about you using automated means, however we will notify you if this position changes.

 

12

Your legal rights

Under certain circumstances, by law you have the right to:

Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a "data subject access request").  This enables you to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.

Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you.  This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate personal data we hold about you corrected.  

Request erasure of your personal data.  This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it.  You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have exercised your right to object to processing (see below).

Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) to process your personal data and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to us processing your personal data on this legal ground.

Request restriction of processing of your personal data.  This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios: (a) if you want us to establish the data's accuracy; (b) where our use of the personal data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it; (c) where you need us to hold the personal data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend a legal claim; or (d) you have objected to our use of your personal data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.

Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party.  We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.  Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we processed the personal data to perform a contract with you.

Right to withdraw consent: In the limited circumstances where you may have provided your consent to the collection and processing of your personal data for a specific purpose, you have the right to withdraw your consent for that specific processing at any time. To withdraw your consent, please contact Privacy@iterumtx.com. Once we have received notification that you have withdrawn your consent, we will no longer process your personal data for the purpose or purposes you originally agreed to, unless we have another legitimate basis for doing so in law.

 

13

Exercising your rights

To exercise one or more of your rights in respect of your personal data, please contact Privacy@iterumtx.com.  You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other personal data legal rights). However, we may charge a reasonable

29


 

fee if your request for access is clearly unfounded or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with the request in such circumstances.

14

Contacting the data protection supervisory authority

You have the right to make a complaint at any time to the Data Protection Commission, the Irish supervisory authority for data protection issues (www.dataprotection.ie).  We would, however, appreciate the chance to deal with your concerns before you approach the Data Protection Commission so please contact Privacy@iterumtx.com or a member of the Legal Team in the first instance.

15

Updating your personal data

It is important that the personal data we hold about you is accurate and current.  Please keep us informed if your personal data changes during your working relationship with us.
