In accordance with data privacy laws, we may rely on a number of different reasons for collecting and using your personal information examples of which are set out below:

For legitimate business purposes: we want to make your experience of using our products and services as effective and efficient as possible and so we use your personal information to make our communications with you more relevant and personal to you.

To perform a contract with you: we may need to register you as a customer, manage payments between us, notify you of any changes to any of our terms or policies, enable you to take part in our promotional activities and of course, provide our products and services to you, all of which will mean we may need to process your personal information effectively and securely.
To comply with our legal obligations as a business and other demands for information: it is important that Sinclair Pharma is able to comply with applicable laws, regulations and guidance as well as meet the requests or demands for data as set out in this policy to ensure that our products and services are provided to the highest standard.

Other members of the Sinclair Pharma group of companies;
Trusted third parties, such as: our agents and suppliers; partners who provide us with technology services, such as data analytics, hosting and technical support; our professional advisors; auditors and business partners; regulators, governments and law enforcement bodies, and other third parties in connection with the re-organising or merging of any part or all of our business. If a change happens to our business, then the new owners may use your personal data in the same way as set out in this privacy policy. Sinclair Pharma, its affiliated companies and its trusted third party suppliers may process your personal information outside of your home country and in any event, outside of the European Economic Area (‘EEA’) and the UK. Data privacy laws in the countries where your personal information may be transferred may not be equivalent to, or as protective as, the laws in your home country. Sinclair Pharma will ensure that appropriate measures to protect and safeguard your personal information are put in place in the event that it is transferred outside of your home country. These measures include securing data transfer agreements by implementing standard contractual clauses.

6. How we protect your personal information
Sinclair Pharma uses a variety of technical and organisational measures to help protect your personal information from unauthorised access, use, disclosure, alteration or destruction consistent with applicable data protection laws. Where we contract with external suppliers, our written agreements commit suppliers to only process your personal data in accordance with our instructions; to keep your information confidential; and to put in place appropriate security measures to safeguard your information. Please note that the transmission to us of information via the internet or mobile phone network may not be completely secure and any transmission of information to us is at your own risk.

7. How long we keep your personal information
Your personal information will be retained in accordance with our data retention policy, which categorises all of the information held by Sinclair Pharma and specifies the appropriate retention period for each category of data. Those periods are based on the requirements of applicable data protection laws and the purpose for which the information is collected and used, taking into account legal and regulatory requirements to retain the information for a minimum period, limitation periods for taking legal action, good practice and Sinclair Pharma’s business purposes.

If you object to the processing of your personal information, or if you have provided your consent to processing and you later choose to withdraw it, we will respect that choice in accordance with our legal obligations.

Please note that even after you have chosen to withdraw your consent we may be able to continue to process your personal information to the extent required or otherwise permitted by law, in particular in connection with exercising and defending our legal rights or meeting our legal and regulatory obligations.

For California residents and citizens, under the CCPA, you may opt out of the sale of your personal data. Please refer to our ‘do not sell my personal data’ link below.
