Which Personal Data do we collect when you visit our website?

We Process the Personal Data that you provide to us when you interact with us via this website by signing up (i.e. completing and sending us the patient registration form) or, when signed in, finetuning your patient profile based on additional eligibility criteria questions. These Personal Data are:

a. Identification data

  • Identification data of yourself: (name, first name, postal address, date of birth, etc).
  • Identification data of your referring hospital or medical center (if applicable);
  • Telephone and e-mail data (e-mail address and telephone number);
  • Any other information that you voluntarily give us. Please be aware that, to the extent this information contains Personal Data of others (relatives, your doctor), you should only share it with us if you have that person's informed consent.

In the event that non-personal data is combined with personal data in such a way that it is possible to identify the persons concerned, we will treat this data as personal data until it is impossible to link it to a specific person.

b. Health data

  • Data relating to your current health status: healthy or ill (previous and current diagnoses, any interventions performed, etc.);
  • Data relating to any medication you are taking;
  • Data relating to your general physical condition (disability, pregnancy, etc.);
  • Data on your general psychological state (mental illness, behavioural problems, etc.);
  • Any other medical information necessary to establish whether you are eligible for the clinical trial;
  • Any other information you voluntarily give us.

c. Cookies and other tracking data

Like almost every website, our website also uses cookies. Some of these are necessary to make your website visit possible, other allow us to optimize your browsing experience or the way we interact with you. Find out more about our cookies in our cookie policy.

How do we collect your Personal Data?

We collect your personal data through the answers you provide when you register on our site (direct collection method) as an interested participant. Your answers are recorded directly on a secured server and are not stored on the website.

In order to provide you with clinical trials relevant to your medical condition, our website asks you a series of questions about your health status. The purpose of these questions is to determine whether you meet (or do not meet) the selection criteria for clinical studies of which Curewiki is aware.

It is also possible, subject to your consent, that we may collect your health data directly from your doctor (indirect collection method).

Indirectly collected data will only be processed if it is not possible for us to determine from the information you have provided directly whether you meet the selection criteria for a particular clinical trial (or not). However, contact with your doctor is also only made on the basis of your explicit consent.

Consequences of non-providing such data

The provision of certain personal data referred to above is necessary in order to access certain services offered by Curewiki, in particular to contact us by email.

Where the data subject does not provide the personal data requested by Curewiki, the data subject may be unable - among others - to contact the company via the “Contact” section.

Why do we collect your Personal Data?

We Process your Personal Data only for the following purposes, based on the following legal basis:

Legal BasisPurpose
Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR: the data subject has given consent to the processing of his or her personal data for one or more specific purposes.
  • Counting visits and traffic sources to improve the performance of the website (Analytical cookies) ;
  • Marketing (if the data subject is a prospect) ;
  • Showing advertisements and promotions (Marketing cookies) ;
  • Compiling the interested persons (Panels) ;
  • Improving the product and providing insight ;
  • Ensuring the unique identification of the subject ;
  • Organising the registration of interested subjects ;
  • Linking the patient’s various medical parameters with the selection criteria of a specific clinical trial ;
  • Determining the data subject’s eligibility in clinical trials ;
  • Matching subjects with the investigation sites that can offer them clinical trials relevant to their medical condition ;
  • Inform subjects by email or by notification on the data subject’s phone about the available clinical trials ;
  • Allowing the patient to create his account on the platform and to manage his account ;
  • Monitoring and improving the performance of the platform ;
  • Understanding the needs, priorities, and experiences of patient organisations ;
  • Managing partnerships that support patient engagement in research ;
  • Improving the relevance and accessibility of Curewiki’s initiatives ;
  • Managing sales activities ;
  • Marketing.
Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR: the processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by Curewiki.
  • Answering message from the website contact form ;
  • Handling questions from yourself and authorities and managing claims ;
  • Functioning and managing the website and carry out essential services for the users (Essential cookies).

You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time by unsubscribing from the list of interested subjects.

With whom do we share your Personal Data?

a. Communication to internal recipients

We only give access to your personal data to internal persons at Curewiki whose function requires it. Access to your data is strictly limited to them. We regularly check these accesses and secure the information provided, as far as possible.

b. Communication to third party recipients in the context of clinical trials

In line with the stated purpose of the Website, Curewiki will share the following information with functional third parties (which may be located within and outside of the European Economic Area ("EEA")):

PartyInformationConsent
Clinical Trial SponsorsAggregated (anonymous) information on number of subjects in a certain territory that meet predefined eligibility criteria for Sponsor led clinical trialsNot required as these data do not constitute Personal Data
Clinical Trial SponsorsIndividualized pseudonymized Personal Data on subjects that meet predefined eligibility criteria for Sponsor led clinical trialsYou give your explicit consent when you sign up on the Website
Investigation Sites partaking in clinical trialsIndividualized Personal Data on subjects that meet predefined eligibility criteria for Sponsor led clinical trials, either at the subject request or the Sponsor requestYour explicit informed consent will be requested prior to any data transfer

To be completely transparent, when patients register on Curewiki, they provide data that Curewiki uses and shares in an aggregated and de-personalised way with research partners working on future treatments and cures. This is another way, besides participating in the trials themselves, in which the Curewiki community contributes to the advancement of scientific research.

Curewiki will never sell or provide personally identifiable information to anyone without the patient’s express and specific consent. This can only happen, with the patient’s explicit and specific consent, in the event that we identify a match with a clinical trial for which the patient has passed the eligibility criteria. In this case, we inform the patient and, after receiving approval for that specific trial, we put the patient in contact with the investigation site or sponsor of the clinical trial.

c. Communication to other third parties - service providers, government authorities

Curewiki will provide access to or share Personal Data on an as-needed basis with other third parties, i.e.:

  • trusted service providers
  • consultants and contractors who are granted access to Curewiki’s facilities and systems or which provide services to Curewiki
  • government agencies or authorities, competent courts and others as required by law or if it is necessary to fulfill your request.

Third-party service providers include IT services and website hosting companies, (internet) connectivity providers, providers of data analytics (Google) and tracking services, providers of press release and newsletter distribution networks, as well as service providers that provide technical and administrative support for the Website and underlying IT systems.

These service providers provide their services from locations within and outside of the European Economic Area ("EEA"), including the USA. Curewiki will only share your Personal Data with third parties whom Curewiki has contractually restricted from using or disclosing the Personal Data except as necessary to perform services on our behalf or to comply with legal requirements.

By virtue of the laws that apply to them and their public duties, certain EU or Member State authorities and/or institutions may require Curewiki to provide them with some of your personal data. When such a case arises, it is therefore possible that Curewiki may be obliged to pass on your personal data to these "third party authorities" without asking for your prior consent. On the other hand, Curewiki commits itself to transmit to them only the data that these authorities/institutions strictly need for the exercise of their missions, and this by application of the principle of minimisation.

What if your Personal Data is transferred outside the European Economic Area (EEA)?

Curewiki may need to transfer your data to countries outside the EEA, where privacy protection is less developed, including the USA.

Curewiki relies on available legal mechanisms to enable the legal transfer of Personal Data across borders. To the extent that Curewiki relies on the Standard Contractual Clauses (also called the Model Clauses), to authorize the transfer of Personal Data, Curewiki will comply with those requirements, including where there may be a conflict between those requirements and this Privacy Notice.

In the absence of the aforementioned appropriate safeguards, Curewiki may where permitted by applicable data protection laws (including the GDPR) rely on a derogation applicable to the specific situation at hand (e.g. the data subjects’ explicit consent, the necessity for the performance of an agreement, the necessity for the defense of legal claims).

How do we secure your Personal Data?

We use reasonable and appropriate technological and operational security measures to keep your Personal Data protected against any unauthorized access or unlawful use. Such measures include:

  • Ensuring the physical and digital security of our equipment and devices by using appropriate password protection and encryption where necessary;
  • Ensuring the physical security of our offices and other sites;
  • Maintaining a data protection policy for, and delivering data protection training to, our employees;
  • as needed, execute data transfer or processing agreements with third parties;
  • as needed, perform data privacy impact assessments; and
  • Limiting access to your Personal Data to those at Curewiki who need to use it in the course of their work.

Due to the fact that we process some of your health data, we undertake to provide a framework for the Processing of your data with appropriate security. Such measures include:

  • Data encryption at rest
  • Data encryption in transit
  • Personal info like emails and names are kept in a separate cloud from health data

However, due to the nature of internet communications, we cannot guarantee or warrant that the transmission of your Personal Data to us is secure.

For how long do we keep your Personal Data?

In accordance with the principle of limited retention, the period of retention of data will be strictly for the period necessary for the fulfilment of the purposes for which the processing is justified, not beyond. Under no circumstances will your data be kept for an unlimited period.
