Processing personal data received from affiliates
Companies within the Swixx Biopharma Group of Companies provide certain services to other legal entities belonging to the Swixx Biopharma Group of Companies, including, but not limited to, financial, HR, legal, compliance and IT services, as permitted by law. In such cases, the Company that provides a particular service to another Company usually acts as a processor of personal data related to those services. In other instances, personal data may be processed for the purposes of managing the Swixx Biopharma Group of Companies, i.e. tasks related to the management of the Group’s financial, HR and corporate matters, the preparation of consolidated financial statements and other similar activities; in such cases, Swixx AG or another Company acts as an independent personal data controller.
Furthermore, as the Company provides certain services related to pharmacovigilance, quality assurance, medical information management and medicine access program management to marketing authorization holders or manufacturers listed at https://www.swixxbiopharma.com/en/partnering/, Swixx AG acts as the data processor and the local Company acts as the data sub-processor.
