How We Share Your Personal Data

Personal data that we collect is stored on third party servers, where those third parties have been selected based on, among other reasons, their commitments to hold and protect the personal data from unauthorized access or transfer consistent with applicable data privacy laws, including the GDPR.

Members of BioProtect personnel have differing access rights to the personal data stored with the third-party servers and have different permissions for what they may and may not do with the personal data, including with whom they may share personal data. Access and permission for each employee is set according to their responsibilities.

Except for storing the personal data on the third-party servers as explained above, our policy is not to share your personal data with any other party unless doing so complies with this Privacy Policy and applicable data privacy laws.

Whenever we share any personal data with third parties, we require that they contractually guarantee to maintain adequate levels of protection and that any processing of personal data is restricted to the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy and that, where required, they also contractually agree to GDPR approved standard contractual clauses.
