お客様の情報の使用方法

We use Your information for the following purposes and Our processing bases are:

  • Identification and authentication: We use Your identification information to verify Your identity when You conduct clinical trials, and to maintain the security of Your information.

It is in Our legitimate interests to be able to provide You with appropriate responses. It is in Our legitimate interests to be able to notify You of clinical trials for which You may be suitable, provide You the alerts, reminders, event registrations, appointments, send you surveys, questionnaires or news that may be of interest to You and this allows Us to fulfill Our contractual obligations to You in this regard.
  • Investigator database: We will add Your information to Our investigator database and use it, in accordance with Your preferences, to identify and notify You of clinical trial opportunities. In addition, this allows Us to fulfill Our contractual obligations to You so that We can identify and notify You of clinical trials that may be suitable for You.
  • Future clinical trials: We will collect and use Your contact information and information about Your performance to help evaluate clinical studies, investigators, and institutions to be considered and contacted for future clinical trials. It is in Our legitimate interests to be able to use Your information in accordance with Your preferences, to identify and notify You of future clinical trial opportunities and to support the development and evaluation of future clinical trials.

It is in Our legitimate interests to use Your information for these purposes.

When We process Your information to meet Our legitimate interests (including for the purposes of communicating with You and exercising Our rights as set out above), We balance these against Your fundamental rights and freedoms and put in place safeguards to protect Your privacy.
