Mandatory Information

We use this data to forward your inquiry to the department responsible at our company and to be able to answer it by e-mail or, if necessary, by telephone, post or fax. In addition, we can use your details to personalize our response and provide you with specific information for your business.

We process the captcha request to verify that it is a real request and not a “login robot” or automated spam requests. Your entry there will only be used for this check and will not be stored.

If your inquiry relates to an existing contractual relationship with you or if you are interested in concluding a contract, e.g. with regard to a consultant activity, the data processing is carried out on the legal basis of Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 b) GDPR (contract fulfilment and initiation).

Otherwise, the data will be processed on the legal basis of Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 f) GDPR (balancing of interests). It is in our interest to be able to answer your inquiry with the information relevant to you by our internal department. The data processing of the captcha query is in our interest in order to prevent automated logins via logon robots or spam requests. We store the data collected via the contact form for processing and answering the respective inquiry.

d. Data processing of reports of adverse reactions

As a pharmaceutical company Daiichi Sankyo and its affiliated companies must adhere to local statutory obligations to monitor the safety of all their pharmaceutical products on the market. The monitoring and assessment of potential adverse reactions in relation to the use of our products is called pharmacovigilance. In this context we may collect and further process Personal Data of the individuals who suffered the suspected adverse reaction (“Patients”) as well as the treating physician of the Patient or any other HCPs, or third parties, e.g., a family members of the Patient, who report the adverse reaction event to us (altogether referred to as “Reporting Persons”).

If you, as a Reporting Person, report adverse reactions directly to Daiichi Sanko Europe GmbH – which is possible, e.g., via phone or email, please see for details here – we will collect and further process Personal Data about the Patient and the Reporting Person, in particular, the following data categories:  

  • Patient: initials of the first and last name of the patient, date of birth, gender, height, weight, information on the suspected medication (including information on the brand name of the drug, daily dose, dose form, the duration of the therapy, interacting drugs), the course of the adverse reaction (including the duration, the severeness and the outcome of the adverse reaction), concomitant medication, relevant concomitant diseases and medical history (including information on previous and current pregnancies);
  • Reporting Person: profession, name, address and contact information (including telephone / fax number and email address).

If you, as a Reporting Person, report adverse reactions, e.g. by email or phone, to one of our national subsidiaries in Europe – you can find a full list of our subsidiaries here – (“Daiichi Sankyo Subsidiaries”), the above data of the Patient and the Reporting Person will be collected and further processed by the respective Daiichi Sankyo Subsidiary to which you report to and which will act as separate and individual controller. Please refer to the respective data protection notice of the relevant Daiichi Sankyo Subsidiary to obtain further information on how they collect and process your Personal Data in this regard. The Daiichi Sankyo Subsidiary will submit a report about adverse reaction in pseudonymized form to us. This means that we do not receive any Personal Data, such as names or contact details, that could be used to directly identify the Patient or the Reporting Person without the use of additional information. The additional information which would allow us such re-identification is stored securely by the Daiichi Sankyo Subsidiary without us having access to it.

The pharmacovigilance department at Daiichi Sankyo Europe GmbH will medically assess and evaluate the information on the potential adverse events obtained to identify the necessary next steps to ensure compliance with applicable pharmacovigilance rules and company procedures, e.g., where necessary, notifying the adverse event to the competent drug safety authorities and relevant institutions.

In both cases, i.e. where you report the adverse reaction directly to us (Daiichi Sankyo Europe GmbH) or to a Daiichi Sankyo Subsidiary which submits the report to us (as described above), we will forward and store the report with the adverse reaction in pseudonymized form for internal documentation purposes in our global Daiichi Sankyo Safety Database which is operated by Daiichi Sankyo Co. Ltd. (“DSJ”) and hosted on servers in the USA. As a rule, the pseudonymized reports will be stored in the Daiichi Sankyo Safety Database for a period of  at least 10 years after the expiration of the marketing authorization for the product to which the adverse reaction report relates.

Daiichi Sankyo Europe GmbH, the Daiichi Sankyo Subsidiaries and DSJ process the Reporting Person’s and Patient’s Personal Data exclusively for processing to the extent necessary to fulfill their legal obligations, for reasons of public interests in the area of public health, in particular to ensure high standards of quality and safety in healthcare and medicinal products, and to safeguard their legitimate interests (ensuring compliance with legal pharmacovigilance requirements and asserting, exercising and defending our legal claims) according to Art. 6(1) lit. c), lit. f), 9(2) lit. i) GDPR. This includes the processing of data for the internal documentation, review and support of the adverse reaction case, including the review of any claims.  

e. Data processing in case of medical enquiries

If you contact Daiichi Sankyo to enquire about product information in the medical field, Daiichi Sankyo stores the personal data which you provided at the time of contact. To ensure we are dealing with an HCP, this data includes your name, professional details and contact data as well as the date and time of this contact. The purpose of this storage is to be able to respond to your medical enquiry.

You will find the name and contact data for Daiichi Sankyo national subsidiaries as well as contact data for their respective Data Protection Officers under section 2.

The legal basis for such data processing is Arts. 6 (1) lit. d and (1) lit. f GDPR. The data is deleted when the specific enquiry is no longer relevant from any conceivable perspective. In general, this will occur 10 years after the expiration of the marketing authorisation for the medicine to which the enquiry relates or earlier, should you request deletion

b. Disabling cookies

Whether cookies can be set and retrieved can be determined by the settings in your browser. For example, you can completely deactivate the storage of cookies in your browser, limit it to certain websites or configure your browser so that it automatically informs you as soon as a cookie is to be set and asks you for feedback.

5. YouTube Videos

We use videos and plug-ins from YouTube on our website. YouTube is a service provided by YouTube LLC (901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA; “YouTube”). YouTube LLC is a subsidiary of Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; “Google).

We use the so-called “extended data protection mode” of YouTube. This means that when you visit our website, only a picture (so-called “thumbnail”) of the embedded video is called up by YouTube or Google and only the data mentioned in Section 3 a) of this declaration are transmitted to YouTube or Google.

Only when you call up the video with a click, further data is transmitted to YouTube or Google and cookies are set by these third-party providers.

If you do not wish to be associated with your profile, you must first log out of your YouTube or Google account.

Google has a so-called EU-U.S. Privacy Shield certification, which according to this certification includes the wholly-owned subsidiaries of Google LLC in the USA and thus currently also includes YouTube. The EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Agreement is a data protection agreement designed to ensure an adequate level of data protection for data transfers to certified U.S. companies. The EU Commission has established the adequacy of the guaranteed data protection level according to the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Agreement by decision of 12.07.2016 (Az. C(2016) 4176).

The decision of the EU Commission can be viewed here: http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/DE/TXT/?uri=uriserv:OJ.L_.2016.207.01.0001.01.DEU.
