What are my rights?

There are an increasing number of data protection regulations that we are required to follow. These laws require us to
disclose your rights and how we will use your data. Both institutions will use your personal data for research purposes.

The University of Oxford will only use personal data when needed to undertake research that is being carried out in the public interest. This is known under data protection law as our ‘legal basis’ for processing your personal data (General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) Article 6(1)(e) and Article 9(2) (j)). This means that when you agree to take part in a research study, we will use your data (including your health data) in the ways needed to conduct and analyse the research study. You can find out more about your data rights under GDPR on this study website.

Boehringer Ingelheim will use ‘legitimate interests’ as the ‘legal basis’ for processing your personal data in order to ensure the high standards of quality and safety of their medicinal products.
