When you voluntarily provide us this information through our websites or any other information channel, the personal data provided by you will be used only for the purpose of responding to your query or your request for information.

Clinical trial data
If you are a patient you may participate in clinical trials of TargED products in order to further research and develop these therapeutic drugs. By giving consent to participate in such clinical trials, the doctor or investigator conducting the clinical trial will collect your personal data, including data relating to your health and pharmaceutical needs. TargED receives this information in a pseudonymized form, which means that we do not receive data such as your name or address (Or any other contact information) so that we cannot directly identify you. On occasions, TargED employees or contractors working on behalf of TargED, may however access the patient’s personal data at the source of data collection for the purpose of verifying data. The patient data will only be processed for scientific research purposes with appropriate safeguards in place.
Personal data about the doctors and investigators conducting clinical trials and people who assist them is collected by TargED as well. In general, the type of this information includes the name, address, telephone details, field of expertise, position, role in study and qualifications, and includes information provided on Curricula Vitae and Financial Disclosure Forms (US) or Declaration of Interest (EU). TargED is required to obtain such data on potential or actual investigators in order to maintain the quality of the clinical trials (legitimate interests and the performance of contracts, or taking steps, at your request, to enter into this contract) and consistently meet global regulatory and compliance guidelines (legal obligation).
