We may send your personal data in parts or as a whole to Fresenius Group recipients in countries, which are not member states of the European Union or to international organizations, for the purposes listed above. Please refer to the overview of the locations in which Fresenius Kabi is active.

We may send data to the following countries for which the European Commission has determined an adequate level of data protection to be in place that matches the level of data protection within the European Union for the following countries / international organizations in which Fresenius entities are located: Argentina, Canada, Japan, New Zealand, Switzerland or Uruguay.

With regards to such international data transfers to third countries, for which the European Commission has not decided that an adequate level of data protection exists, we have provided appropriate safeguards in order to secure your personal data to a degree that equals the level of data protection in the European Union.

These safeguards are:

• Standard Contractual Clauses that have been issued by the European Commission.

You can obtain a copy of these standard contractual clauses online, or upon request.

Generally, we store your personal data for one of the following periods of time:

• If there is no legal retention applicable, at least for the term of the contractual relationship with you or the company you are working for;
• If we have a legitimate interest to process your personal data outside of such a contractual relationship, we process it for as long as we still have a legitimate interest in processing this data. The exact period depends on the company you are working for and your position in the company.

If the legal retention period is longer than for the other above-mentioned ones, we aim to block the data until the end of the respective retention period and then erase it.

Depending on the situation, you have certain rights regarding your personal data. You have the right to:

• Request access to your personal data

Requirements to provide personal data

You may need to provide your personal data to us for the purpose of fulfilling a contract with you or the company you are working for, e.g. we might require your contact details if you are our business contact at a supplier. If you fail to provide your personal data, we might not be able to enter into the respective contractual relationship.

Automated decision making
