How we use your personal data We rely on a number of legal bases for the processing of your personal data, which vary according to the purposes for which we collect it. Legitimate interests We process your personal data when it is necessary for the purposes of our legitimate interests as a controller (or those of a third party): to respond to your queries or other correspondence you have submitted through our Sites; to analyse engagement with our Sites, communications, events and services in order to improve content, optimise performance and enhance their relevance to various audiences; to optimise and tailor the use of our Sites and our communication to you; to assess any purchases you have made and other information collected from you including your marketing preferences and how you browse our relevant Sites to enable us to better meet your needs in the future; to detect, investigate, prevent or report activities that may violate our policies or be illegal; to carry out conflict of interest checks and assessments where you have been identified by a Teva employee as having a potential conflict of interest with us and keep records of the same to enable us to take appropriate action to remediate such conflicts; to develop and maintain our relationship with you and to better understand the healthcare sector; to contact you or otherwise provide you with information regarding Teva products or events (when your consent to receive direct marketing communications is not required); to tailor our communications to you based on your expertise and professional interests; to assess and analyse your interests and experience based on information our representatives collect during calls or visits; to carry out and follow-up training, including by providing you with further information, inviting you to symposia, congresses, seminars, debates and other events; to carry out or engage in market research, scientific cooperation or other research activities to better understand our markets and/or increase our expertise; to check that your professional expertise and experience matches our identified need for a particular service prior to entering into any personal services contract with you (to the extent that this is not a legal obligation as set out below); to manage our business relationship with you; to plan for, conduct and monitor our business in relation to our supplier/vendor or customer contracts; to handle any questions or complaints you may have about Teva or Teva staff to investigate allegations of misconduct; and for due diligence prior to setting up a trading account or in the circumstances of mergers and acquisitions, dispute resolution or audit. We are required to carry out a balancing test of our legitimate business interests in using your personal data as outlined above against your interests and rights under the data protection law. You can find more information regarding Teva's legitimate interest balancing test by contacting us at the addresses specified in the "Your Rights" section below. b. Contract We process your personal data when it is necessary for the performance of a contract with you, or where you have requested us to take steps prior to us entering into a contract together, in particular: to fulfil any of our obligations owed to you under such contract such as to manage your orders, arrange the provision or receipt of goods and services, and to make payments to you for services provided, the reimbursement of expenses or rebates; where applicable, to manage information related to your attendance at an event, for example, your dietary requirements; and managing orders, questions and complaints regarding products where you have placed orders, posed questions in relation to orders, or submitted complaints. c.

We maintain records of any consents, preferences or other settings to enable us to comply with data protection law. d.

If you are an individual, however, we may ask for your consent prior to sending direct marketing communications to you via email. You have the right to withdraw consent to marketing at any time by contacting us. If we require your consent to process your personal data in any other circumstances we will contact you separately to request such consent. Where we collect personal data to perform our contract with you or to comply with our legal obligations, this is mandatory and we will not be able to perform the contract or we may be prevented from complying with our legal obligations to you or third parties (such as mandatory reporting, tax and accounting) without this information. In all other cases, provision of the requested personal data is optional, but this may affect your ability to receive certain services or take part in certain activities where the information is needed for those purposes. We will use your personal data only for the purposes for which it was collected, unless we reasonably consider that we need it for another purpose that is compatible with the original purpose. If we need to use your personal data for an unrelated but compatible purpose, we will notify you in advance of our use of your personal data and explain the legal basis for this.
