INFORMACIÓN ADICIONAL

 

Security Measures

 

The data you provide will be treated confidentially. We have adopted all necessary technical and organizational measures, as well as all required levels of protection, to ensure data security and prevent alteration, loss, theft, unauthorized processing, or access, in accordance with the state of the art and the nature of the stored data. Furthermore, processing and storage in files, programs, systems, equipment, facilities, and premises comply with the integrity and security requirements established by current regulations.

 

Presence on Social Media

 

We may have an active presence on various social media platforms. If you follow our official accounts or interact with us on these platforms, our relationship will be governed by the terms outlined in this section, in addition to the terms of use, privacy policies, and rules of each social network, which you have previously accepted. We will use your data to: properly manage our presence on the social network; inform you about activities, products, or services; and for any other purpose permitted by the respective platform’s regulations.

 

It is strictly prohibited to publish content that: is allegedly unlawful under national, EU, or international regulations, or that promotes illegal activities or actions contrary to good faith; infringes fundamental rights, shows disrespect, harasses, or generates negative opinions toward other users or third parties, or that we deem inappropriate; or violates principles of legality, honesty, responsibility, human dignity, protection of minors, public order, privacy, consumer rights, or intellectual property rights.

 

We reserve the right to remove, without prior notice, any content we consider inappropriate from our website or social media accounts.

 

If you send us personal information through a social network, we are not responsible for the security measures applied by that platform. To learn more, please review the specific terms and conditions of the relevant social network.

 

We ensure the safety of our products

 

We are fully committed to the safety of our products. To this end, we provide a web form where you can report suspected adverse events, lack of efficacy, exposure during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or any other incident related to our medical or cosmetic products. Once we receive the form, we may contact you using the details you provide to gather additional information if necessary.

 

The purpose of this processing is to identify, quantify, assess, and prevent potential risks associated with the use of our products, as well as to monitor the case when appropriate. This enables us to ensure safety and comply with our legal obligations.

If you are the person reporting the adverse event (whether a healthcare professional, distributor, or authorized third party), we collect your contact details: name or initials, surname, phone number, email address, and country.

 

If you are the person affected by the adverse event, we collect data such as name or initials, surname, date of birth, gender, weight, type and details of the event, concurrent medication, relevant medical history, and any other information necessary to document and assess the incident. These data are generally collected in a pseudonymized form (without information that directly identifies you), unless you notify us directly, in which case the data will be identifiable.

Personal data of the affected individual will be retained only for the time necessary to monitor the case. Once monitoring is complete, the data will be anonymized (removing any element that allows identification) and incorporated into our safety database, ceasing to be considered personal data. Data from healthcare professionals reporting an adverse event will be retained for the commercial life of the product plus ten (10) years.

 

Your personal data will not be disclosed to third parties except where required by law to share with health authorities or public administrations. However, we may share them with companies that assist us in managing the notification, case monitoring, and data anonymization, always under contracts that ensure confidentiality and compliance with applicable regulations. If it is necessary to transfer information outside the European Economic Area to countries without an adequacy decision by the European Commission, we will apply safeguards such as standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission or binding corporate rules.

 

Governing Law and Jurisdiction

 

For the resolution of disputes or issues related to this Privacy Policy, Spanish law shall apply, to which the parties expressly submit. The Courts and Tribunals of Barcelona shall have jurisdiction to resolve all conflicts arising from or related to its use.
