Pharmore Research is an independent market research agency founded in 2002 and headquartered in Barcelona that offers a complete fieldwork service focused exclusively on market research in the pharmaceutical and healthcare field.
Pharmore Research is responsible for the personal data that are transmitted to us. The terms "Pharmore Research", "we" or "us" that are used hereinafter refer to the company Pharmore Research S.L.U. In accordance with the applicable regulations on the protection of personal data, Pharmore Research is the "responsible for treatment".
A personal data is any numerical, alphabetic, photographic, acoustic or any other information related to identified or identifiable individuals, both the one related to their identity (such as name and surname, address, filiation, a photograph or video, etc.) as related to their existence and occupations (studies, work, illnesses, etc.). The different details, that compiled can lead to the identification of a certain person, also constitute personal data.
A person is identified whenever, for example, their name appears in a file.
A person is identifiable when a file contains information that allows their identification indirectly (for example- IP address, name, registration number of their vehicle, phone number, photograph, biometric elements such as fingerprint, DNA, a set of information that discriminates against a person within a population [certain statistical files] as place of residence and occupation, sex and age, etc.).
Certain data that could be considered anonymous can constitute personal data if they allow indirectly identifying a specific individual or sending cross-information. It can be information that is not associated with a person's name, but can easily identify them and through which their habits or tastes could be known.
In this sense, all the information that when cross-checked allows us to identify a specific person (for example, an image, a voice, a fingerprint, DNA, a date of birth associated with a municipality of residence ...) also constitute personal data.
Pharmore Research works in compliance with Spanish and European legislation on the protection of personal data (Organic Law 3/2018, of December 5, Protection of Personal Data and digital rights and other applicable laws) and also adheres to the codes of conduct that govern our sector (EphMRA, AEDEMO and ESOMAR) in relation to anonymity, confidentiality and ethics in market research.
Likewise, to guarantee the application of the different regulations, we have a service dedicated to the fulfillment of the same, as well as with a data protection manager.
