ON WHAT GROUND: On what basis SANOFI processes your personal data Depending on the data processing in question, SANOFI will generally process your personal data on one of the following legal grounds: With your prior consent, where you have clearly expressed your consent to SANOFI’s processing of your personal data. In practice, this will generally mean that SANOFI will ask you to sign a document, to fill in an “opt-in” form or to follow a procedure to allow you to be fully informed, and then either clearly accept or refuse the data processing envisaged. Where needed to perform a contract between you and SANOFI. In this case, the processing of your personal data is generally necessary for the execution or performance of that contract; this means that if you do not wish for SANOFI to process your personal data in that context, SANOFI may refuse to enter into such contract with you or may not be able to provide you with the products or services covered by that contract. Where we need to comply with legal obligations applicable to SANOFI’s activities, for instance, SANOFI is required to implement pharmacovigilance procedures to monitor adverse effects of marketed products, which generally involves the collection and retention of personal data. Where it is necessary for the “legitimate interests” of SANOFI, meaning the interests of our business in conducting and managing our business to enable us to give you the best service/product, and the best and most secure experience. In this case, SANOFI will consider and balance your fundamental rights and interests and any potential impact on you when determining whether the processing is legitimate and lawful and before we process your personal data. We will not use your personal data for activities where our interests are overridden by the impact on you (unless we have your consent or are otherwise required or permitted to by law). You can obtain further information about how we assess our legitimate interests against any potential impact on you in respect of specific activities by contacting as described in the “How to Contact Us” section below. As described in “The Purposes” section above, we may collect and process your personal data when you visit our websites (including through cookies) for a number of purposes, such as to administer and protect our websites, to deliver relevant website content to you, and to use data analytics to improve our websites. In these cases, we will process your personal data on the basis that it is necessary for our legitimate interests (for provision of administration and IT services and network security, to keep our website updated and relevant, to study how customers use our products/services and to develop our business). When we process your personal data for other purposes, we will notify you of the specific legal ground we are relying on to process your personal data in the Privacy Notice we provide you. SANOFI may, on a case-by-case basis, rely on other legal grounds for processing your personal data, such as the protection of your vital interests. If this is the case, we will notify you in a Privacy Notice. Please note that we may also process your personal data on the basis of more than one legal ground depending on the specific purpose for which we are using your data. Please contact us as described in the “How to Contact Us” section below if you need details about the specific legal ground we are relying on to process your personal data. 5.

WHERE: Where SANOFI may transfer your personal data SANOFI is a multinational organisation with affiliates, partners, suppliers, service providers and vendors located in many countries around the world. For that reason, SANOFI may need to transfer (via access, visualisation or storage) your personal data to other jurisdictions, including countries outside the UK which may not be regarded as providing the same level of protection as the UK. Safeguards for international transfers of personal data: In cases where SANOFI needs to transfer personal data outside the UK, we will ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented We will only transfer your personal data to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data. For further details, see UK Information Commissioner's Office: Is the restricted transfer covered by "adequacy regulations"? Where we use certain suppliers, service providers or vendors, we may use specific contracts approved for use in the UK which give personal data the same protection it has in the UK, known as “Standard Contractual Clauses”. For further details, see UK Information Commissioner's Office: Is the restricted transfer covered by appropriate safeguards? Where we transfer data to our group companies, such as for clinical studies or pharmacovigilance, we ensure your data is protected by requiring all our group companies to follow the sale rules when processing personal data. These are called “Binding Corporate Rules”. For further details, see UK Information Commissioner's Office: Is the restricted transfer covered by appropriate safeguards? Please contact us as described in the “How to Contact Us” section below of you want further information on the specific mechanism used by us when transferring your personal data out of the UK. 7. HOW SECURE: What SANOFI does to protect your personal data We have implemented a variety of technological and organisational procedures and measures to ensure the integrity and confidentiality of your personal data from unauthorised access, use and disclosure. These measures will take into account the state of the art, the costs of implementation and the nature, scope, context and purposes of processing as well as the risks posed by the processing (in terms of likelihood and severity) to your rights and freedoms. For instance, we store your personal data on servers that have various types of technical and physical access controls, which may include, for instance, if appropriate, encryption. We may also aggregate, pseudonymise or anonymise personal data to ensure that no personally identifiable information is communicated to third parties. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality. 8. HOW LONG: SANOFI’s approach to determining how long to retain your personal data SANOFI will only retain your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, as outlined in this Policy. As an exception, SANOFI may be required to retain your personal data for longer periods as required or permitted by law, or as necessary to protect its rights and interests. In such a case, you will be informed of the intended retention period in the applicable Privacy Notice. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting and other requirements. In some circumstances you can ask us to delete your data: see the “Your Rights” section below for further information. We may anonymise your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes, in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you. 9. YOUR RIGHTS: What your rights are and how you can exercise them Under certain circumstances, you have rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data. to request access to your personal data. This enables you to receive a copy of your personal data, unless such data is already made directly available to you, for instance within your personal account. to request correction of your personal data should your personal data be inaccurate, incomplete or obsolete. to request the deletion of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data 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 data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request. to withdraw your consent at any time to the data processing, where your personal data has been collected and processed by SANOFI on the basis of your consent. Note, this will not affect the lawfulness of processing up until the time at which you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent. to object to the processing of your personal data, including profiling, where your personal data has been collected and processed on the basis of the legitimate interests of SANOFI or where SANOFI is processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. To exercise this right you will need to justify your request by explaining to us your particular situation and why you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms. to request restriction of the processing of your personal data This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios: If you want us to establish the data's accuracy. Where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it. Where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims. You have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it. to request the transfer of your personal data from SANOFI to you or a third-party, where technically feasible, in which case we will provide to you, or a third-party of your choice, with your personal data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. Please note however that this right only applies to automated information where the processing is based on your consent or in order to perform a contract with you. If you would like to exercise any of these rights, please contact us as described in the “How to Contact Us” section below and we will take necessary steps to respond as soon as possible. You also have the right to make a complaint at any time to the Information Commissioner’s Office (“ICO”), the UK supervisory authority for data protection issues (www.ico.org.uk), regarding the processing of your personal data.
