Privacy Policy
TARGET PharmaSolutions, Inc. d/b/a “Target RWE” Privacy Policy
Last revised and effective as of: December 21, 2022
Target RWE (“Target RWE”, “we”, “us”, “our”) is committed to transparency regarding the collection of your personal information and data. This policy relates to the information collection and use practices in connection with our website (www.targetrwe.com) as well as the services offered by Target RWE.
Target RWE is a clinical data company focused on the development of Real-World Data (“RWD.”) RWD refers to health data collected on a routine basis which may include sources such as electronic health records, claims data, registries embedded within clinical practice or other sources that can inform on health status. According to the 21st Century Cures Act, the U.S. food and drug administration (FDA) has since developed a framework for evaluating the potential use of evidence generated from such RWD to support the approval of a new indication for already-approved drugs or to help support or satisfy post-approval study requirements. From RWD, Real-World Evidence (“RWE”), the clinical evidence about the usage and potential benefits of a medical product is derived from analysis of RWD. In order to develop this RWD, Target RWE sponsors longitudinal, observational studies in order to gain insights about the natural history of diseases, including treatment outcomes.
This Privacy Policy applies to information we collect on our Website and information collected through other channels in connection with your interaction with our business (the “Business”). For clarification, this Privacy Policy only applies to information collected through the Website and does not apply to information collected through offline or other channels from research subjects and others in connection with our operations, as individuals will be informed separately of how such information will be collected and used in our observational studies and Patient Engagement Platform and otherwise as applicable.
By accessing and using our site, you are agreeing to the terms of this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to this Privacy Policy, you should not use the website. Continued use of the website, following the posting of changes to this Privacy Policy that do not significantly affect the use or disclosure of your personally identifiable information means that you accept those changes.
Information collected about you during your visit to our website
The amount and type of information we collect depends on how you use this website. We may collect information about you from a variety of sources, including (a) information you provide directly; (b) information we collect about you when you visit our Website, use our services, or; and (c) information we receive from other sources.
a. Information We Collect Directly From You. We may collect information directly from you when you visit our Website, choose to use services or participate in programs or otherwise provide information directly to us. Depending on your use of our website or services, we may collect two types of information: personally identifiable information and non-personally identifiable information.
Personally Identifiable Information: Personally identifiable information is information that identifies you or can be used to identify or contact you. The categories of personally identifiable information that may be collected through the Website include but are not limited to your name, email address, and telephone number.
Non-Personally Identifiable Information: Non-personally identifiable information is information, any single item of which, by itself, cannot be used to identify or contact you. The categories of non-personally identifiable information that may be collected through the Website include but are not limited to demographic information (such as age, profession, gender, location, zip code, birth date, or year of birth), responses to survey questions, queries, IP addresses, browser types, unique device identifiers, device types, requested URL, referring URL, browser language, the pages you view, the date and time of your visit, domain names, and other statistical data involving use of the Website. Certain non-personally identifiable information may be considered a part of your personally identifiable information if it were combined with other identifiers (for example, combining your zip code with your street address) in a way that enables you to be identified. However, the same pieces of information are considered non-personally identifiable information when they are taken alone or combined only with other non-personally identifiable information (for example, your viewing preferences).

Types of Personal Information Collected
As described above, personal data (referred to in this Privacy Policy as personal information) is information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person in the European Economic Area, Switzerland, and/or the United Kingdom. While the types of personal information collected vary, the following types of information generally are collected from the following categories of individuals:
Study Participants – The information collected from individuals participating in our research studies (“Participants”) is collected with written consent of the Participant, redacted at the respective research study site, and typically transferred as a pseudonymized data set in key-coded form as described in Privacy Shield Supplemental Principle 14 Pharmaceutical and Medical Products, subsection (g) “Key-coded Data”, and therefore does not constitute a transfer that would be subject to the Privacy Shield Principles. To the extent that study participant information, although key-coded, still provides enough information to be personally identifiable, Target RWE will adhere to all applicable regulations.
Research Study Site Staff, Vendors, and Contractors – The types of personal information collected from research study site staff, vendors, and contractors generally include name, e-mail address, phone number, business or home address, and curriculum vitae.
Website Visitors – The types of personal information collected from visitors to our Website may generally include name, email address, telephone number, demographic information (such as age, profession, gender, location, zip code, birth date, or year of birth), IP addresses, browser types, unique device identifiers, device types, requested URL, referring URL, browser language, the pages you view, the date and time of your visit, domain names, and other statistical data involving use of the Website.
General Inquirers, Advisors, and Representatives of Our Business Partners and Clients– The types of personal information collected from individuals inquiring about our clinical data business and our research studies, from our advisors, and from individuals who represent our business partners and clients generally include name and contact information and queries.
Purposes for Which Personal Information is Collected and Used

As examples, non-identifiable data associated with Participants is used as part of publications in medical journals in the form of summary statistics; figures included may show individual data points in scatter plots or non-identifiable Participant data may be presented in the form of a case study displaying key highlights of the patient record (such as medication, lab values, comorbidities over time, etc.). In addition to the above, personal information may be used in the future for new scientific, medical, and pharmaceutical research activities, including activities that are unanticipated.
Purposes of Information Collected From Research Study Site Staff, Vendors, and Contractors - Personal information generally is collected from research study site staff, vendors, and contractors and used for the purposes of contacting such individuals; conducting research studies; ensuring appropriate qualifications and training; administering the receipt of services from such individuals; regulatory documentation and submissions to relevant agencies, ethics committees, and competent authorities; responding to audit and inspection requests by relevant agencies, ethics committees, and competent authorities; community building and data analytics; and presenting and sharing the results and data from research studies. In addition to the above, personal information may be used in the future for new scientific, medical, and pharmaceutical research activities, including activities that are unanticipated.

Privacy Shield Principles
The Privacy Shield Framework outlines the following seven “Privacy Shield Principles:”
- Notice: In the event that Target RWE collects Personal Information from a Citizen, Target RWE will furnish a notice to the Citizen (via an Informed Consent Form provided to each clinical study participant in the EEA) that describes: (i) the types of Personal Information that it collects about such Citizens; (ii) the purposes for which it collects such information; (iii) the types of third parties to which it discloses such information, and the purposes for which it does so; and (iv) how to contact Target RWE with any inquiries or complaints. Notice will be provided in clear and conspicuous language at the time of collection, or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter. In any event, notice will be provided before Target RWE discloses the Personal Information or uses such information for a purpose other than that for which the Personal Information was originally collected or processed.
- Choice: In the event that Personal Information is to be used for a new purpose that is materially different from the purpose(s) for which the Personal Information was originally collected or subsequently authorized, or transferred to a non-Agent third party, Citizens will be provided, where practical and appropriate, with an opportunity to decline to have their Personal Information so used or transferred. In the event that the Personal Information used for a purpose other than that for which it was originally collected or subsequently authorized or transferred to the control of a non-Agent third party is Sensitive Personal Information, the Citizen’s affirmative express consent will be obtained prior to the use or transfer of the Sensitive Personal Information or as otherwise permitted in accordance with the Privacy Shield Principles.
- Accountability for Onward Transfer: Before we disclose any of your transfer data to a third party we will require that such third party provide the same level of privacy protection as is required by the Privacy Shield Principles. Target RWE’s accountability for transfer data that it receives under the Privacy Shield and transfers to a third party is outlined in the Privacy Shield Principles. In particular, Target RWE remains liable under the Privacy Shield Principles if third-party agents that it retains to process transfer data on Target RWE’s behalf process such transfer data in a manner inconsistent with the Privacy Shield Principles, unless Target RWE can prove that it is not responsible for the event giving rise to the damage.
- Security: Target RWE takes reasonable and appropriate administrative, technical and physical precautions designed to protect Personal Information from loss, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction, regardless of whether such Personal Information is in electronic or tangible, hard copy form.
- Data Integrity and Purpose Limitation: Target RWE endeavors to limit the collection, usage, and retention of Personal Information to that which is relevant for the intended purposes of Processing, and takes reasonable steps designed to ensure that all Personal Information is reliable for its intended use, accurate, complete and current.
- Access: Citizens may seek confirmation regarding whether Target RWE is Processing Personal Information about them, request access to their Personal Information and ask that the Company correct, amend or delete that information, where it is inaccurate or has been processed in violation of the Privacy Shield Principles. Although Target RWE makes good faith efforts to provide Citizens with access to their Personal Information, we reserves the right to limit or deny such access where the burden or expense of providing access would be disproportionate to the risks to the Citizen’s privacy, where the rights of Citizens other than the subject Citizen would be violated, where the information is commercially proprietary or where doing so is otherwise consistent with the Privacy Shield Principles. If Target RWE determines that access should be restricted in any particular instance, we will provide you with an explanation of why that determination has been made and a contact point for any further inquiries.
- Recourse, Enforcement and Liability: Target RWE has implemented mechanisms to verify its ongoing compliance with the Privacy Shield Principles and this Statement.
In compliance with the Privacy Shield Principles, Target RWE commits to resolve complaints about our collection or use of your personal information. EU and Swiss individuals with inquiries or complaints regarding our Privacy Shield policy should first contact our privacy team at: privacy@TargetRWE.com.
Target RWE commits to cooperate with the panel established by the EU Data Protection Authorities (DPAs) and the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (Commissioner), as applicable, to investigate unresolved disputes/complaints and comply with the advice given by the panel and/or Commissioner. With respect to the application of Privacy Shield Principles to transfer data, the panel established by the DPAs and/or the Commissioner, as applicable, is the independent dispute resolution body designed to address complaints and provide appropriate recourse to you free of charge. Target RWE complies with the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework and Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework as set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce regarding the collection, use, and retention of personal information transferred from the European Union and Switzerland to the United States. Target RWE has certified to the U.S. Department of Commerce that it adheres to the Privacy Shield Principles. If there is any conflict between the terms in this privacy policy and the Privacy Shield Principles, the Privacy Shield Principles shall govern. To learn more about the Privacy Shield program, and to view our certification, please visit https://www.privacyshield.gov/.
As further described in the Privacy Shield Principles, a binding arbitration option will be made available to you in order to address residual complaints regarding transfer data that have not been resolved by other means. See Section C of Annex I to the Privacy Shield Principles at https://www.privacyshield.gov/article?id=C-Pre-Arbitration-Requirements and http://trade.gov/td/services/odsi/swiss-us-privacyshield-framework.pdf . The Federal Trade Commission has jurisdiction over Target RWE’s compliance with the Privacy Shield.
Adherence by Target RWE to the Privacy Shield Principles and the above-set forth provisions regarding transfer data may be limited (a) to the extent necessary to meet national security, public interest or law enforcement requirements; (b) by statute, government regulation, or case law that creates conflicting obligations or explicit authorizations; or (c) if the effect of the GDPR or Member State law is to allow exceptions or derogations, provided that such exceptions or derogations are applied in comparable contexts.
Limitation on Scope
Adherence to these GDPR and Privacy Shield Principles may be limited (i) to the extent required or allowed by applicable law, rule or regulation; (ii) to the extent necessary to respond to lawful requests by public authorities, including to meet national security, law enforcement, legal or governmental requirements; and/or (iii) to protect the health or safety of a Citizen.
