As part of a global corporate group, we rely on other Eisai companies to assist us with data processing. These group companies may also process data outside of Switzerland, such as in the EU, the UK, Japan, or the US. These group companies process the personal data only for the stated purposes.

Some of these suppliers may also have their registered head office outside of the EEA.
Some of these countries may possibly not have a data protection authority and/or data production laws, and/or may not grant rights to data subjects, so that you may potentially not be able to enforce your rights in the same way as in Switzerland or the EU, and the recipients may not be legally required to protect your data according to Swiss or EU standards. Eisai will take all necessary steps to ensure that your personal data are also protected in such cases.
We have implemented procedures to ensure that all external companies with which we collaborate for the purpose of processing your personal data – including other Eisai companies or branches – apply the same data protection standards as those that apply in the EU. This includes the obligation of due diligence in our dealings with such external companies (e.g., reviewal of the security measures implemented there to ensure data protection) and the obligation to enter into contracts containing adequate data protection provisions, such as those found in the EU standard contractual clauses, for example, which the European Commission recommends as adequate protection of personal data of EU citizens, and which are likewise applied in Switzerland.
Eisai could possibly transfer personal data to competent authorities in third countries if this is required for the purpose of obtaining product approvals and for safety reporting purposes, provided that the transfer is required for important reasons of the public interest, given that these interests are recognized by law.
