Privacy Policy

User privacy is very important at Peerr. Peerr will only use your personal information in accordance with the terms of our privacy policy. By using the platform, you acknowledge and agree that you have read and accepted the terms of our platform's privacy policy.

Disclaimer / Liability

Peerr will not be liable, in contract, tort (including, without limitation, negligence), under statute or otherwise, as a result of or in connection with the Platform, for any: (i) economic loss (including, without limitation, loss of revenues, profits, contracts, business or anticipated savings); or (ii) loss of goodwill or reputation; or (iii) special or indirect or consequential loss.

Nothing in these Terms shall be construed as excluding or limiting the liability of Peerr or its group companies for death or personal injury caused by its negligence or for any other liability which cannot be excluded by English law.

Information we collect

We collect Personal Data about you when you provide such information directly to us, when third parties such as our business partners or service providers provide us with Personal Data about you, or when Personal Data about you is automatically collected in connection with your use of our Services.

Information we collect directly from you: We receive Personal Data directly from you when you provide us with such Personal Data, including without limitation the following:

• First and last name
• Email address
• Job title
• If you are a healthcare professional including your specialty and grade
• Biographical information and profile picture
• Any other information you choose to share on the platform

We may also collect information about how you in particular use this website through the use of cookies. This information helps us to personalise your experience by tailoring the content you see, and optimising your use of the platform. We will also use it to generate anonymised statistical data about how the platform is used, particularly in relation to the access of particular resources. We may share that anonymised data with third parties. We may also generate anonymised statistical information.

We may also obtain information about your opinions if, for example, you send us feedback, or ask us questions.

We may also, occasionally, receive information about you from other sources (such as third parties or associated sites) which we will add to the information which we already hold about you in order to help us improve and tailor our service to you.

We use third-party Analytics tracking to track user activity. The data we collect about users can be connected to other data we have about the end user. We will not upload any data that allows third-party platforms to personally identify an individual (such as certain names, Social Security Numbers, email addresses, or any similar data), or data that permanently identifies a particular device (such as a unique device identifier if such an identifier cannot be reset).

How Do We Use Your Personal Data?

We process Personal Data to operate, improve, understand and personalise our Platform. For example, we use Personal Data to:

• Create and manage user accounts and profiles
• Personalise content on the Platform
• Provide learners and educators with community features
• Process orders and transactions
• Provide support and assistance
• Analyse and improve the Platform
• Meet contract or legal obligations
• Provide you with information, products or services that you have requested from us
• Carry out our obligations arising from any contracts entered into between you and us
• Monitor and track behavioural patterns in respect of your interaction with the platforms promotional content, to better understand trends and attitudes towards particular drugs or treatments; and/or
• Create statistical, anonymised data about access to and use of our services.

We will only use your personal information for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose. If we need to use your personal information for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and we will explain the legal basis which allows us to do so.

We will only use your personal data in accordance with the data protection legislation, which says that the personal information we hold about you must be:

• Used lawfully, fairly and in a transparent way.
• Collected only for valid purposes that we have clearly explained to you and not used in any way that is incompatible with those purposes.
• Relevant to the purposes we have told you about and limited only to those purposes.
• Accurate and kept up to date.
• Kept only as long as necessary for the purposes we have told you about.
• Kept securely.

In order to ensure that your personal data is used lawfully, we must ensure that we have a lawful condition for processing under Article 6 of the GDPR. With the exception of the specific scenarios outlined below, we process your personal data on the basis of Articles 6(1)(b), which relates to processing necessary for the performance of a contract with you, and/or 6(1)(f) which allows us to process personal data where necessary to do so in the pursuit of legitimate interests. In this particular instance, those interests relate to our broader business activities which are not strictly necessary to perform your individual contract. Article 6(1)(f) requires us to ensure that the legitimate interest(s) we rely upon in order to process your personal data are not outweighed by your rights and freedoms, which we have done by inviting you to provide your personal information on a voluntary basis and also by taking only the minimum amount of such information necessary.

In very specific scenarios, we will only process your personal data in circumstances where you have positively indicated your consent for us to do so. This is particularly where we want to provide you with promotional materials.

Upon registration, you will be invited to consent for us to send you our newsletters and emails, which contain details of new Peerr features and content as well as, potentially, promotional materials from third-party pharmaceutical companies. In addition, or as an alternative, you will also be invited to consent to specifically receive third-party promotional materials, which we send on our clients' behalf. Please note that we do not pass your personal information onto third parties for marketing purposes. You should also note that even if you do not consent to receipt of promotional materials then we will still provide you with essential updates about Peerr.

Use of cookies

In common with many organisations we monitor the use of this platform by collecting aggregate information through the use of cookies. No personally identifiable data are collected in this process. Typically, we collect information about the number of visitors to the website, to each web page and the originating domain name of the visitor's Internet Service Provider. This information helps us to improve our platform and to deliver a more tailored experience and may be shared with third parties.

A cookie is a small file which is placed on your computer's hard drive. The file is added, and the cookie helps analyse web traffic or lets you know when you visit a particular site. Cookies allow web applications to respond to you as an individual. The web application can tailor its operations to your needs, likes and dislikes by gathering and remembering information about your preferences.

We use traffic log cookies to identify which pages are being used. This helps us analyse data about web page traffic and improve our platform in order to tailor it to user needs. We only use this information for statistical analysis purposes and then the data is removed from the system.

Overall, cookies help us provide you with a better platform, by enabling us to monitor which pages you find useful and which you do not. A cookie in no way gives us access to your computer or any information about you, other than the data you choose to share with us.

Some of our advertising banners may send a cookie to your hard disk (whether or not you click the banner). If you subsequently visit the advertised website, we will know that you have seen our banner. This allows us to keep track of the success rates of such banners.

The majority of web browsers accept cookies, but you can usually change the web browser's settings to refuse new cookies, disable existing ones or simply let you know when new ones are sent to your hard disk. However, please be aware that, if you refuse or disable cookies, some of the website's functionality may be lost. To learn more about how to refuse or disable cookies please visit aboutcookies.org.

How and With Whom Do We Share Your Data?

We share Personal Data with vendors, third party service providers and agents who work on our behalf and provide us with services related to the purposes described in this Privacy Policy or our Terms of Service. These parties include:

• Payment processors
• Fraud prevention service providers
• Analytics service providers
• Engineering and development tools
• Hosting service providers

We will keep your information confidential. We will not pass your information to anyone else unless required to do so by law, where it is necessary to administer the working relationship with you or where we have another legitimate interest in doing so, except for (a) successors in title to our business; or (b) when required by law. Companies and individuals who provide services and functions on our behalf may also use and store your personal information. However, they may not use your personal information for any other purpose. As set out above, we may provide business partners with statistical data which provides an aggregated overview of the manner in which services and adverts are used but, critically, you will not be identifiable from that information and accordingly it will not comprise your personal data.

As set out above, we do not provide your personal information to any third parties for marketing purposes, as we will send out promotional materials on their behalf where you have consented to us doing so.

We may pass limited personal information onto third-party business partners, where it is necessary to do so for the purposes of pharmaceutical marketing compliance. This is in circumstances where we are providing a product or service, such as a webcast funded by a pharmaceutical company, as they need to specifically understand which individuals have accessed the product or service from a marketing compliance perspective. We will not, however, provide them with your email address or phone number for such purposes.

How Long Do We Retain Your Personal Data?

We retain Personal Data about you for as long as you have an open account with us or as otherwise necessary to provide you Services. In some cases we retain Personal Data for longer, if doing so is necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes or collect fees owed, or is otherwise permitted or required by applicable law, rule or regulation. Afterwards, we retain some information in a depersonalized or aggregated form but not in a way that would identify you personally.

Storing Your Personal Data

In operating our platform it may become necessary to store and transfer data that we collect from you to locations outside of the European Union for processing and storing. By providing your personal data to us, you agree to this transfer, storing and processing. We do our utmost to ensure that all reasonable steps are taken to make sure that your data is stored securely.

Marketing Communications

We may send you promotional marketing emails with offers, discounts, branded content sharing details or information from our partners and associated companies including pharmaceutical and medical device companies.

These promotional emails and content help support our creators on the platform. If you would like to stop receiving these emails, you can opt out by emailing Hello@peerr.io

Opting out of further communications from us

If we have specified that we will contact you with information about our products, services, or those of other companies and you wish to opt out of receiving such information, then you can do so by sending an e-mail to hello@peerr.io. You should clearly state on all communications: your name, username (if any), registration details (if any) and the name of this platform. You may also edit your contact preferences on your profile page.

Improper conduct

We may use the information we gather and/or receive about you to investigate and help prevent unlawful activity or activity that threatens our network or otherwise jeopardises the provision of this platform and we may disclose such information to third parties (such as the police) for these purposes.

Your duty to inform us of changes

It is important that the personal information we hold about you is accurate and current. Please keep us informed if your personal information changes during your working relationship with us.

Your rights in connection with personal information

Under certain circumstances, and as set out in further detail in our general privacy notice, by law you have the right to:

• Request access to your personal information (commonly known as a "data subject access request"). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal information we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
• Request correction of the personal information that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate information we hold about you corrected.
• Request erasure of your personal information. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal information where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal information where you have exercised your right to object to processing (see below).
• Object to processing of your personal information where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground.
• Request the restriction of processing of your personal information. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of personal information about you, for example if you want us to establish its accuracy or the reason for processing it.
• Request the transfer of your personal information to another party.

If you want to review, verify, correct or request erasure of your personal information, object to the processing of your personal data, or request that we transfer a copy of your personal information to another party, please contact us in writing as set out below.

What we may need from you

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access the information (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is another appropriate security measure to ensure that personal information is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it.

If you would like to exercise any of your rights then you can do so by contacting us at hello@peerr.io

Please state your name, username (if any), registration details (if any) and the name of this platform clearly on all communications.

Right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office

You can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) if you are unhappy with the way we have dealt with a request from you to exercise any of your rights or if you think we have not complied with our legal obligations. Whilst you do not have to do so, we would appreciate first making us aware of the issue and giving us an opportunity to respond and to address it before contacting the ICO.

Making a complaint will not affect any other legal rights or remedies that you have. More information can be found on the ICO website: https://ico.org.uk/ and the Information Commissioner's Office can be contacted by post, phone, fax or email as follows:
