PRIVACY POLICY PHARMACOVIGILANCE
Pharmacovigilance consists of specific activities involving the Authorities, the Marketing Authorization Holders of medicinal products, potential distributors and partners, local health units, healthcare professionals, patients and citizens. The citizen’s contribution is essential to ensure the functioning of the pharmacovigilance system, based on the reporting of adverse reactions of medicinal products that the Marketing Authorization Holders have the obligation to register.
This Policy is aimed at clarifying the type of processing of personal data you may send us as well as the rights and duties that derive from such processing. The Data Controller will process personal data only to fulfill the legal obligations relating to pharmacovigilance, ensuring that the treatment will take place, where possible, anonymously.
The purpose of the treatment is the protection of public health and public knowledge of the adverse effects related to medicinal products.

The provision of personal data for pharmacovigilance purposes on medicines is not mandatory, but represents an act of civilization and responsibility. Failure to provide data could jeopardize the correct functioning of the pharmacovigilance system.
