- the existence of a valid agreement containing standard contractual clauses developed by the EU or approved codes of conduct, certifications, and other similar measures that comply with the Data Protection Regulation;
- the recipient is certified under the Privacy Shield data protection framework (applicable to recipients located in the United States).
In the absence of appropriate safeguards, Farmatseut has the right to transfer Personal Data outside the EU/EEA in situations where:
- the Data Subject has given explicit consent, having been informed of the absence of safeguards;
- it is necessary for the performance of an Agreement between the Client and Farmatseut or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures taken at the Data Subject’s request;
- it is necessary to conclude or perform an agreement between Farmatseut and another natural or legal person in the interest of the Data Subject;

- the transfer is not repetitive, concerns only a limited number of Data Subjects, is necessary for the protection of Farmatseut’s legitimate interests, where the interests, rights, or freedoms of the Data Subject do not override them, and if Farmatseut has assessed all circumstances related to the data transfer and, based on this assessment, has established suitable safeguards for the protection of personal data. Farmatseut informs the supervisory authority of such a transfer.
For more detailed information on the transfer of Personal Data outside the EU/EEA, the Data Subject may contact Farmatseut using the contact details provided in section 12 of the Privacy Policy.
10 – Personal Data Retention Periods

- to request the erasure of their Personal Data, for example, if Farmatseut has no right to process such data or if the Personal Data Processing is based on the Data Subject’s consent and they have withdrawn that consent. Such a right does not apply (or applies only to a limited extent) if the Personal Data requested to be erased is also processed on other legal bases, such as under an Agreement or for fulfilling legal obligations;
- to request the restriction of the Processing of their Personal Data, e.g., while Farmatseut assesses whether the Client has the right to have their Personal Data erased;
- to receive their Personal Data, which they have provided to Farmatseut and which is processed based on consent or for the performance of an Agreement, in a commonly used machine-readable electronic format, and, if technically feasible, to transmit that data to another service provider (right to data portability);
- withdraw their consent for the Processing of their Personal Data if the Processing is based on consent. Upon withdrawal of consent, Farmatseut will no longer Process the Data Subject’s Personal Data for the purpose for which the respective consent was given.
