Taking into consideration the provisions of the Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of persons of these data and repealing Directive 95/46/EC (“GDPR), Alvotech hf1 (“Alvotech” and/or “Company” and/or “we”) wishes to ensure full observance of the legislation applicable to the data protection domain so as you continue to trust us with your personal data.

This Privacy Notice describes how and what personal data we collect, hold and use when you visit our website, when you send us your resume by means of the website or have any kind of interaction with us, the conditions under which we may disclose the personal data and the manner in which we safely keep such personal data.

For any queries or additional information on how Alvotech processes your personal data, as well as for exercising your data protection rights, you may contact the appointed Data Protection Officer at the following contact data: by post at Saemundargata 15 - 19, 101, Reykjavik, Iceland, or by email at dpo@alvotech.com.

Obtaining your personal data directly from you

As a rule, we obtain personal data (meaning any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person) directly from you.

As a rule, we will obtain your personal data (such as name, surname and e-mail address) if you wish to be an Alvotech collaborator or employee and, thus, fill the “Contact Us” form.

If you want to report side effects, we will obtain your personal data if you decide to do so.

At a minimum, you will need to provide the following:

  • Your name and contact information (postal address or email or telephone number) in your capacity of report (namely the person who is reporting the issue) and your qualification (if you are a healthcare professional);
    The initials of the person who experienced the possible side effect and/or other identifiers, such as date of birth, age / group of age, gender, gestational period;
  • A description of the possible side effect itself, such as the signs and symptoms experienced, date the possible side effect started and the result of the possible side effect;
  • The name of the (Alvotech) product involved.

Since, at Alvotech, we take the safety of our patients and consumers very seriously, it is vital for us to continuously monitor the safety of our products or of the products distributed by us.

By hearing about your experiences and others like you, we are able to offer the best possible advice to those using Alvotech products or those products that are distributed by Alvotech.

Obtaining your personal data automatically or from other sources

There may be cases where we obtain your personal data as a result of your visit on the website (see our Cookie policy).

There may be cases where we obtain your personal data from other sources. Hence, we may obtain your personal data following mergers or as a result of their disclosure by other persons that reported to Alvotech side effects. In the latter case, we will consider that you authorized the disclosure of your personal data.

Using your personal data only for identified purposes of processing

Depending on our relationship, we process your personal data if we have your consent, if necessary for the performance of a contract, if necessary for us to comply with the legal obligations or in order for us to satisfy certain legitimate interests that do not prevail over your rights and fundamental freedoms.

Additionally, we may process your personal data for the performance of the contract concluded between us as well as in order for us to comply with our legal obligations or in order to cooperate with competent authorities, as the case may be.

Without prejudice to your rights and fundamental freedoms, we may also process your personal data in order for us to satisfy certain legitimate interests such as infraction prevention, detection and investigations, including fraud and money laundering or financing of terrorist acts, analysis and administration of commercial risks, in relation with any claim, action or procedure (including, but not limited to, drafting and reviewing documents, drafting necessary documents for the conclusion of a transaction, obtaining legal advice and facilitating settlements) and/or protection or exercise of contractual and legal rights and obligations, cooperation with public authorities.
