UK Data Protection Regulation
This information on data protection explains how and for what purposes B. Braun Medical Limited and/or its affiliates (hereinafter "B. Braun" or "we"), in their capacity as the respective controller, process your personal data. Personal data is collected and processed in compliance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (hereinafter "GDPR") and other applicable laws on data protection, such as Data Protection Act 2018.
This information on data protection is divided into two parts. In the first part you will find general information about the handling of your personal data, in the second part you will find detailed information. Please dick on the respective tab to find out more.
The "controller“ is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data.
"Data processing on behalf of the controller" is a special case in data protection law and means the collection, processing or use of personal data by a processor in accordance with the instructions of the controller on the basis of a contract.
Any processing of personal data requires a legal basis. The legal basis may be the consent of a data subject, the performance of a contract, a legal obligation of the controller, the protection of vital interests of the data subject, the performance of public or sovereign tasks or the legitimate interests of the controller or a third party. In addition, there are other legal bases for the processing of e.g. special categories of personal data.
Any processing of personal data requires a legal basis. The legal basis may be the consent of a data subject, the performance of a contract, a legal obligation of the controller, the protection of vital interests of the data subject, the performance of public or sovereign tasks or the legitimate interests of the controller or a third party. In addition, there are other legal bases for the processing of e.g. special categories of personal data.
Personal data relates to an identified (specific) or identifiable (determinable) natural person. A person is "identified" if the data is directly linked to the data subject or if such a link can be established directly. Individual data with personal reference are, for example
"Processing" shall mean the collection, recording, organization, arrangement, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction of personal data, regardless of whether the processing is carried out by automated means or not.
In the case of "Pseudonymisation", the name or other identification characteristics are replaced by a pseudonym (e.g. a number) in order to exclude the identification of the data subject or to make it significantly more difficult to establish. Through “Pseudonymisation”, personal data of a data subject can now only be identified with the addition of further information.
"Recipient" means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body to whom personal data is disclosed.
This is a subcategory of personal data. "Special categories of personal data" include particularly sensitive data, such as health data, biometric and genetic data, as well as religious confession, etc.
Countries outside the United Kingdom are referred to as "third countries" in the UK GDPR.

Your personal data may be processed for the following purposes, among others:
Which personal data is processed in detail depends on the respective purpose. The scope of the data processed depends on which personal data are required to achieve the specific purpose. To the extent permitted by the specific purpose, we process your data pseudonymously or anonymously.
In doing so, we base the processing of your personal data on one of the following legal bases:
If you are in a contractual relationship with us, the processing is carried out to fulfil the contract. The same applies to the implementation of pre-contractual measures based on your request.
We are subject to a large number of legal requirements, such as the Human Medicines Act 2012 and the UK Medical Devices Regulations 2002. In order to comply with these requirements, it may be necessary to process personal data
Insofar as you have given us your consent to process your personal data for certain purposes, the respective consent is the legal basis for the processing specified in the respective consent form.
You can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future. The withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the withdrawal.
Insofar as the processing of your personal data is not necessary for the fulfilment of a contract with you or to comply with legal requirements and consent also does not constitute an appropriate legal basis for the processing, the processing is carried out on the basis of our or a third party's predominant legitimate interest. In order to be able to use this legal basis, we check in advance whether the following requirements are met:
Your personal data will be disclosed within the B. Braun group to the extent necessary to fulfill the respective purpose or if the internal organisation requires the disclosure (e.g. central financial accounting, sales and marketing, logistics).
Your personal data will only be passed on to third parties, i.e. bodies outside B. Braun, if the transfer can be based on one of the legal bases mentioned above. Companies are, for example, required by law to disclose data to certain recipients, including in particular
In addition, we use various service providers ("processors" in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR), which we contractually obligate in accordance with the requirements of the GDPR. These include companies from sectors such as IT services, printing services, telecommunications or sales and marketing. Processors may only use personal data according to our instructions and for a specific purpose. Compliance with this is controlled and monitored by us.
As an internationally active group, we may also process your personal data in countries outside of the United Kingdom ("third countries"). If a transfer to these countries is necessary, the transfer will only take place if:
In particular, in accordance with the principle of data minimisation, we only transfer the personal data that are necessary for the fulfilment of the respective processing purpose.
Your personal data will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose for storing it no longer applies. In addition, storage may take place if this is necessary to comply with regulatory or legal requirements. Legal storage obligations may result, for example, from the Companies Act 2006, Proceeds of Crime Act 2002. The periods specified there for storage or documentation are generally two to ten years.
Within the scope of our (contractual) business relationship and/or cooperation, you must provide the personal data that is required to achieve the respective purpose or that we are legally obliged to collect. Without this personal data, we will generally not be able to achieve the intended purpose and enter the business relationship and/or cooperation with you.
We do not use any procedures for automated decision-making in accordance with Art. 22 GDPR. Should we use these procedures in individual cases, we will inform you of this separately, insofar as this is required by law.
According to the GDPR, you can assert the following data subject rights with us:
Please note that legal obligations of the controller or national exceptions may mean that your data cannot be permanently deleted or can only be deleted after a certain period of time has elapsed.
To assert one or more of your data subject rights, please contact us using the contact details provided under "controller and contact person".
Individual right to object
You have the right to object at any time, on the basis of your particular situation, to the processing of your personal data carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1) f GDPR; this also applies to profiling based on this provision. If you object, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate reasons for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
Right to object to processing of personal data for direct marketing purposes
We may also use your personal data for direct marketing purposes within the framework of the legal provisions. You have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is associated with such direct marketing. If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, we will no longer process your personal data for these purposes. The objection can be made informally. You will find our contact details under "contoller and contact person".
For information on how your personal data is processed in the context of your application, please refer to the privacy policy.
If you contact us via a contact form, an e-mail address or a telephone number, we also process personal data about you. You will often also be asked for your consent to the processing of personal data for advertising purposes in the context of contact forms. In this regard, please refer to the section "Newsletters".
The purpose of the processing results from the handling of your enquiry or request and further communication. The legal basis for the processing is our legitimate interest according to Art. 6 (1) f GDPR, which results from the aforementioned purposes, or your consent according to Art. 6 (1) a GDPR.
If your contact is aimed at the conclusion of a contract / an ongoing contractual relationship with us, the legal basis is the initiation or implementation of the contractual relationship in accordance with Art. 6 (1) b GDPR.
The specific data processed results from the respective contact form. As a rule, however, it will be the following data:
The storage period depends on your specific request. If, for example, your contact is aimed at concluding a contract with us or we already have a business relationship with you, your data will be stored until the contractual and/or legal obligations have been fulfilled and legal retention periods do not prevent deletion.
Depending on the request (e.g. questions about our products and services), your data will be processed further. In order to be able to answer your enquiry/your request in the best possible way, your data will be passed on to the necessary extent within the group (if necessary also to group companies outside the EU).
In addition, we use order processors (e.g. IT and software service providers).
As a global company, we work with contracted distributors in certain countries and regions. In order to provide information on B. Braun products, therapies, solutions or events, for promotional purposes, to contact you or to respond to your enquiry, we will, with your consent, pass on the personal data you have entered to these external sales partners so that they can contact you. Our sales partners work regionally, which means that your data is only passed on to the sales partner with whom we work in your region.
We want to continuously improve our offers and services and for this reason we conduct customer satisfaction surveys after certain contact points. The surveys take place immediately after a previous customer contact. We also comply with the legal requirements and standards that demand a measurement of customer satisfaction.

Your data will be stored in accordance with legal and internal requirements and deleted after a period of 2 years. Your data will be processed within the EU. In the case of technical support, your data may be transferred to a service provider outside the EU to fulfil your request. In such a case, we ensure adequate protection of your personal data, e.g. by concluding standard contractual clauses or asking for your consent.

The scope of this privacy policy is limited to the processing of personal data in connection with product complaints, medical information requests and pharmacovigilance. Pharmacovigilance is the detection, evaluation, tracking and prevention of adverse events related to medicinal products. Within the framework of pharmacovigilance, we process reports of adverse events in connection with pharmaceuticals (e.g. suspected cases of side effects or lack of drug effect). If you report adverse events or other pharmacovigilance-relevant information to us, we will process this data exclusively for pharmacovigilance purposes.
Purpose and legal basis of the processing – Pharmacovigilance
In terms of pharmacovigilance reporting, we comply with the relevant requirements that oblige us and the responsible regulatory authorities to manage data on adverse events. This serves to protect public health and to ensure a high standard of quality and safety.
We are required to process certain personal data of affected patients and/or reporting persons to report adverse events related to pharmaceuticals to the relevant regulatory authorities. The personal data will only be processed for pharmacovigilance purposes and only when relevant and appropriate to properly document, assess and report such an event in accordance with our pharmacovigilance obligations. The information in question is of great importance to public health and is used for the detection, assessment, understanding and prevention of adverse events and other risks related to our pharmaceuticals. In particular, we process your data for the following purposes and on the basis of the legal bases listed in the chart below.
Purpose: Personal data in the context of adverse event reports related to medicinal products or other aspects of pharmacovigilance (even if provided in the context of a medical request)
Legal basis: This processing is necessary for B. Braun's statutory pharmacovigilance obligations (Good Pharmacovigilance Practice, MPA). (Art. 6 (1) c and Art. 9 (2) i GDPR)
Purposes and legal basis of the processing - Medical requests
Any personal information provided to B. Braun in connection with medical enquiries may be used to respond to and follow up on the enquiry in question. The information in question may be stored in a medical information database for reference purposes. In addition, we may be required by law (for example, as part of pharmacovigilance) to report the data to regulatory authorities. We do not use your data for any other purposes. In particular, we process your data for the following purposes and on the basis of the legal bases listed in the chart below.
Purpose: Personal data related to a medical request may be used to respond to and follow up on the request
Legal basis: This processing is based on B. Braun's legitimate interest in following up on your requests (Art. 6 (1) f GDPR). If you are a patient, we will only process your personal data with your explicit consent. (Art. 6 (1) a and Art. 9 (2) a GDPR).
Purposes and legal basis of the processing – Product complaints
Any personal information provided to B. Braun in connection with a product complaint will be used solely for these purposes. The information in question is of great importance to public health and will be used to assess, classify, and evaluate the product complaint, to follow up on related enquiries and to store the data in a product complaint database for reference purposes. In particular, we process your data for the following purposes and on the basis of the legal bases listed in the chart below.
Purpose: Personal data in connection with a product complaint (e.g. for the assessment, classification and evaluation of the product complaint, for the follow-up of the corresponding request and for the storage of the data for reference purposes in a product complaint database) (also if provided in the context of a medical request)
Legal basis: This processing is necessary to comply with the legal obligations applicable to B. Braun (Art.6 (1) c and Art.9 (2) i GDPR).
When submitting a notification, the following data may be processed, depending on the individual case:
Reporting of adverse events related to medicinal products
Reporting person: name, contact details, belonging to an occupational group
Person affected by an adverse event: personal data on health and medical history as far as necessary for the processing and assessment of the case. This may include data such as initials, age/date of birth, sex, weight, and height. Personal data considered sensitive by law, such as health status and ethnicity, will only be processed if it appears relevant and necessary for the accurate documentation of the response, as well as fulfilling the purpose of complying with the obligation to medicines safety and our legal obligations.
Medical requests
Reporting person: name, contact details, belonging to an occupational group
If a medical request includes data on a product complaint or suspected adverse reactions, it will additionally be treated as such.
Product complaints
Reporting person: name, contact details, belonging to an occupational group

This may include data such as initials, age/date of birth, sex, weight, and height. Personal data considered sensitive by law, such as health status and ethnicity, will only be processed if it appears relevant and necessary for the accurate documentation of the response, as well as fulfilling the purpose of meeting the obligation to medicines safety and our legal obligations.
Due to their importance for public health, pharmacovigilance-related information will be kept for at least 15 years after the withdrawal of the respective products from the market in the last country where they were offered. As information on product complaints is important for public health, complaint records including the corresponding personal data are kept for at least 15 years. Personal data stored in the context of medical information requests will be kept for a maximum of 11 years from the date of receipt.
B. Braun may share personal information that you provide to us as necessary to maintain B. Braun's global pharmacovigilance database and to comply with applicable pharmacovigilance legislation. To do this, we may share and/or disclose personal data as follows:
In addition, B. Braun is required to share certain pharmacovigilance and product-related information with health authorities worldwide. This also includes authorities for which data protection regulations differ from those of the United Kingdom. Legal basis: Art. 6 (1) c and for transfers outside the United Kingdom Art. 6 (1) f and Art. 49 (1) e GDPR.
The reports in question contain details of the incident in question. Personal data are only included to the extent necessary:
If your data is passed on to other companies, business partners or service providers outside the United Kingdom, we ensure that your personal data is adequately protected, e.g. by concluding standard contractual clauses and/or that only necessary data is passed on.
We use the video conferencing tools "Teams" (from the provider Microsoft, USA) and "Zoom" (from the provider Zoom Video Communications Inc., USA) to carry out digital events.
The legal basis for processing personal data is determined by the specific purpose for which the respective platform is used and the digital event is offered. These can be:
The scope of the data processed depends on the purpose of the digital event, but in particular also on the information you provide before or during your participation in the event (e.g. use of the chat function):
We use Microsoft and Zoom as a processors within the meaning of Art. 28 GDPR. The providers obtain knowledge of the above-mentioned data to the extent contractually permitted.
Microsoft and Zoom reserve the right to process customer data for its own legitimate business purposes. We have no control over this data processing. To the extent that the providers process personal data in connection with its legitimate business purposes, they are the data controllers for those data processing activities and, as such, are responsible for compliance with all applicable data protection laws. This particularly applies when you access the website s of Microsoft and Zoom or use the video conferencing tools through your browser. If you require information about Microsoft's and Zoom's processing, please refer to their relevant privacy statements.
In principle, there is no data processing outside the European Union (EU), as we have limited our storage location to data centres in the EU. However, we cannot exclude the routing of data via internet servers that are located outside the EU. This can be the case in particular if participants are located in a third country.
The data processed during a digital event is encrypted during transport via the internet and thus protected against unauthorised access by third parties. In addition, we have agreed extensive technical and organisational measures with the providers that correspond to the current state of the art, e.g. with regard to access authorisation and end-to-end encryption concepts for data lines, databases and servers.
We delete personal data when the storage of the data is no longer necessary. In the case of statutory retention obligations, deletion comes into consideration after the expiry of the respective retention obligation.
You have the right to obtain information about the personal data relating to you. Furthermore, you have the right to rectification or deletion or to restriction of processing, insofar as you are entitled to this by law. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. The lawfulness of the processing until the revocation remains unaffected. Finally, you have the right to object to processing within the scope of the law. You also have the right to data portability within the framework of data protection law. You have the right to file a complaint about the processing of personal data by us with a supervisory authority for data protection.
In certain circumstances, recording of digital events may take place. This is done for the purpose e.g. publication, documentation, etc. The legal basis is your informed (written) consent according to Art. 6 (1) a GDPR, which you grant us by attending the event. If a digital event is to be recorded, we will inform you about this transparently in advance (e.g. as part of the invitation). In addition, a notice will be provided during the event before the recording is started. The system will also inform you that the event is being recorded.
The recording is stored and deleted after expiration of the respective retention period in accordance with data protection regulations.
Under certain circumstances, it may be necessary to publish the recording to the group of participants, on the intranet or on the internet in order to fulfil the above-mentioned purpose. If the recording is published on the intranet or internet, we would like to point out that the recordings are made accessible to a broad public. Every viewer can use the content on the internet at their own discretion, including misuse, without this being able to be monitored, restricted or prevented. However, within the framework of data minimisation, we take care, especially when publishing recordings, to delete or anonymise personal data in advance that is not relevant for publication (e.g. cropping the video excerpt).
For information on how we handle your personal data when you use one of our apps or websites, please refer to the respective privacy policy.
Only persons authorised by the B. Braun Group may enter any of our premises. As a visitor, guest or external company employee, you must provide the categories of data listed below and will usually receive a visitor's pass that entitles you to stay on the factory premises for the duration of your visit/stay.
The purpose of the processing results primarily from the exercise of domiciliary rights and the protection of the company's property. In addition, the processing serves us to be able to determine at any time who is on the premises and in our buildings, in particular to ensure the safety of the premises and the protection of the persons working there. The legal basis is our legitimate interest pursuant to Article 6 (1) f GDPR, which results from these purposes.
The following data is processed:
Your data will be stored for as long as is necessary to achieve the aforementioned purposes or to fulfill a contract (usually for 1 year). Data may be stored beyond this period if and insofar as this is required by law.
The storage of data differs for each location. The data required for visitor management is stored either in a visitor management system or a visitor book.
We partially use processors based within the EU for visitor management (e.g. site security, IT service providers).
Please also note the information on data protection on site.
The purpose of the instruction is to ensure the health and safety of visitors and contractor employees on the company premises.
Your data will be stored for as long as is necessary to achieve the aforementioned purposes or to fulfil a contract. Data may be stored beyond this if and insofar as this is provided for by law.
We use video surveillance to protect our premises and buildings. Surveillance areas are always marked with appropriate signs.
The video surveillance serves the purpose of crime prevention and security in accordance with our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) f GDPR. Please also note the corresponding information displayed at the respective location. The use of video surveillance is for preventive purposes to prevent persons from committing legal violations to the detriment of B. Braun. The aim of video surveillance is to ensure the preservation of evidence and the clarification of criminal offences as well as the enforcement of claims for damages under civil law in the event of irregularities such as trespass, damage to property, theft or unauthorised entry.
The storage period of the records is within the scope of what is operationally necessary and legally permitted and can vary depending on the location. The data is then automatically deleted unless there is a legal interest in further processing.
If a criminal offence has occurred, the corresponding video recordings will be passed on to the law enforcement authorities to the extent that is necessary.
