In the UK, the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) regulates data protection and privacy matters. They make a lot of information accessible to consumers on their website, which you can access here: https://ico.org.uk/for-the-public

Depending on your jurisdiction, it is possible that a different regulator or supervisory authority may govern the processing of Personal Data.

If you have any questions about which supervisory authority applies in your jurisdiction, please Contact Us as set out below.

You can make a complaint to the ICO, or any other supervisory authority, at any time about the way we use your information.

12 Security

Data security is of great importance to Arrivent. We have put in place appropriate technical and organisational measures to prevent your Personal Data from being accidently lost, used, or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered, or disclosed.

We take security measures to protect your information including:

  • Limiting access to our buildings and resources to only those that we have determined are entitled to be there (by use of passes, key card access and other related technologies);
  • Managing a data security breach reporting and notification system which allows us to monitor and communicate information on data breaches with you or with the applicable regulator when required to do so by law;
  • Implementing access controls to our information technology; and,
  • Deploying appropriate procedures and technical security measures (including strict encryption, anonymisation and archiving techniques) to safeguard your information across all our computer systems, networks, websites, mobile apps, offices, and stores.

Further information on our security measures can be found in Arrivent’s IT Security Policy.

13 International Transfers

Your Personal Data is processed at the Company’s operating offices and in any other places where the parties involved in the processing are located. This means that this information may be transferred to Devices located outside of Your state, province, country, or other governmental jurisdiction where the data protection laws may differ than those from Your jurisdiction. In particular, when Arrivent shares data with our strategic clinical trials partner – Shanghai Allist Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd – or certain other Trusted Data Processors, your Personal Data, which will be pseudonymised in any case, would be stored and processed within China and possibly other third countries. Where this occurs, Arrivent will ensure that:

  • the security and confidentiality of your Personal Data is secure at all times;
  • any Data Controller receiving your Personal Data has entered into an agreement with Arrivent which contains standard data protection clauses as required by UK and/or EU GDPR or there is an alternative appropriate safeguard in place governing the transfer; and,
  • any Data Processor receiving your Personal Data has entered into an agreement with Arrivent which contains the required Data Processor clauses as well as standard data protection clauses as required by UK and/or EU GDPR or there is an alternative appropriate safeguard in place governing the transfer.

Where you are based in the UK or EU and we were required to transfer your Personal Data out of the UK or EU to countries not deemed by the ICO or European Commission (as relevant) to provide an adequate level of Personal Data protection, the transfer will be based on safeguards that allow us to conduct the transfer in accordance with the Data Protection Legislation, such as the specific contracts containing standard data protection clauses approved by the ICO or European Commission (as relevant) providing adequate protection of Personal Data.

14 What happens if our business changes hands?

We may, from time to time, expand or reduce our business and this may involve the sale and/or the transfer of control of all or part of our business. Any personal data that you have provided will, where it is relevant to any part of our business that is being transferred, be transferred along with that part and the new owner or newly controlling party will, under the terms of this Privacy Notice, be permitted to use that data only for the purposes for which it was originally collected by us.
