Personal data might be stored in Biomapas’ IT or it’s contractors’ systems under secure conditions and with limited access. Subscriber’s personal data will not be used for an automated decision-making including profiling.

The additional personal data (name and last name, names of the employers, occupation (job title), interests in the services provided by Biomapas) the Subscriber has indicated may be used to provide the Subscriber with a more personalised experience (i.e. better targeting the content of the information). The usage data allows Biomapas to monitor and prevent abuse, and to ensure Biomapas attains certain usage standards and metrics in relation to the Newsletter.

Biomapas Group company will only carry out personal data transfers outside the EEA where it is confident that the level of protection applied to personal data will be similar as if it had remained within the EEA. In such case where personal data is transferred outside the EEA, we will apply proper protection measures (e.g., appropriate internal rules or Standard Contractual Clauses will apply) to ensure that personal data is adequately protected against unauthorized processing in such countries.
