VERISENSE PRIVACY POLICY
Verisense and its affiliates (Shimmer Research) are committed to protecting the privacy of the
Clinical Trial Investigators, Study Researchers and Study Participants engaged in a trial that uses the
Verisense platform and equipment to gather personal data and information during the trial. To this
end, Verisense has put in place internal procedures, to ensure that your personal information is
processed responsibly and in accordance with applicable laws.
Purposes
The purpose of Verisense collecting your personal information is to assess and process your data
that you have agreed to be collected, in order to monitor your progress and development through
the trial that you have agreed to participate in.
During your participation in a trial or study that uses Verisense technology on behalf of a Sponsor,
we will also obtain, process and retain your personal data and information as part of the
management and administration of the trial or study.
When we share your information
We will only share your personal information and data with the Sponsor of the trial.
The recipients of your personal information may be located outside of the European Economic Area
which may not have equivalent data protection laws to those applicable in your home country. In
such cases, appropriate measures will be taken to protect your personal information in accordance
with applicable data protection laws.
Legal basis for processing
Verisense and/or the Sponsor may also rely on their legitimate interests to support the processing of
your personal data, for example in the course of administering a trial or study or contacting you in
relation to your area of specialty. In addition, Verisense and the Sponsor will process your
information where they are under a legal or regulatory requirement to do so.
Retention
We will retain your personal information on file for the duration of any trial or study in which you’ve
agreed to participate in and for a period thereafter. In the case of clinical trials, this period will be at
least 25 years after conclusion of the relevant trial.
Your rights
You have the right to access your personal information, have any errors in your information
corrected or to object to the processing of your personal information. In certain circumstances, you
may also have the right to have your personal information “ported” to you or to another party or to
have your information erased from our systems.
Where we rely on consent to the continued processing of your personal information, you may
withdraw your consent at any time. You acknowledge that where Verisense or the Sponsor have a
regulatory obligation or an overriding legitimate interest to retain your personal information, the
withdrawal of your consent will not limit the ability of Verisense or the Sponsor to continue
processing your personal information in line with those legal bases.
If you are a data subject covered by the EU General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 (the
“Regulation”) and you are of the opinion that Verisense have infringed your rights under this
Regulation you have the right to lodge a complaint with the appropriate Data Protection Supervisory
Authority in your member State. Verisense’s lead Data Protection Supervisory Authority is the Data
Protection Commission in Ireland (www.dataprotection.ie)
Consent
By consenting to participate in a clinical trial run by a Clinical Research Organisation or run by a
Sponsor that uses the Verisense platform and equipment to gather your data during the trial, you
grant your consent to Verisense to process, disclose and retain your personal data and information
for the purposes explained above.
