This Privacy Notice is to be read together with Takeda’s Privacy Policy.

The types of personal information we collect depends on the interactions you have with Takeda. Depending on your involvement with Takeda, we may collect personal information about you such as your name, your contact details, and other information about you such as about your health and medical treatment. If you are a healthcare professional, we also collect information such as your name, contact details, your position and area of speciality, or reports of adverse events. Where reasonably possible, we seek to work with information and records from which personal information has been removed.

Where you access or use content, resources, or services on this website, or through other engagements we may have with you, we collect and process your personal information for a variety of purposes. Examples include:

  • responding to and/or fulfilling your requests or perform our obligations to you and comply with any applicable laws;

  • assisting our research and development efforts;
  • optimising the use and performance of the website;
  • undertaking performance improvements; and
  • undertaking internal analysis of Takeda treatments, and in our efforts to manage, expand and improve our products, services, and business.

In addition, we may use and disclose your personal information provided it is aggregated or de-identified data that is not personally identifiable to third parties for the purposes below:

  • undertaking mandatory reporting, such as of matters related to quality or product issues;
  • providing to third parties for secondary analysis and research; and
  • contributing to scientific congress and publications.

Where you provide personal information of others to us, you undertake to ensure that such others have been informed of your disclosure to us, and that their personal information may be processed by us in accordance with this Privacy Notice. We may not be able to provide assistance and undertake activities that we would otherwise provide or undertake, where you prefer that we do not collect your personal information.

In some cases, subject to the information above and as outlined in our Privacy Policy, sharing of personal information may involve transfers to affiliates or third parties operating in countries outside Australia.

We use various systems and safeguards to protect personal information in connection with such transfers. In addition, we may migrate other personal information internally between platforms, including between this website and other Takeda patient support platforms, to ensure the consistency of your experience.

We keep personal information for the period reasonably necessary in relation to the above purposes. We may also keep personal information for a reasonable period following the fulfilment of our services to you, termination of your relationship with us, or the discontinuation of your use of our application, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.
