Transparency & Disclosure

We shall collect and process personal information strictly necessary to make such disclosures pursuant to local legal obligations, to which we are subject, we have legitimate interests, and/or HCPs’ consent.

It is our position that the publication of data relating to such activities, particularly on a named basis, serves important legitimate interests of us, as well as the public interest, because such disclosure serves to:

• foster greater transparency within the pharmaceutical industry, the medical community, 
and society as a whole; 
• promote HCPs’ and HCOs’ accountability to patients for decisions made about their treatment; 
• urge HCPs to furtherly improve their care services to patients; 
• enable us to comply with its disclosure obligations, for instance under Belgium transparency laws; 
• enhance trust in the integrity of the relationship between the pharmaceutical industry and HCPs and HCOs; 
• demonstrate our commitment to the continual education of HCPs, which ensures a higher level of care to patients. 

If we are not required to disclose the individualized data, and the HCP objects to the processing and disclosure of their data on an individual named basis, then we will still aggregate their data with other ToV data, so that the disclosed data does not identify them as an individual (anonymized statistical data).  We may publish ToVs made by us to HCPs, HCOs, and POs on our corporate website or the website of an industry association. When legally required, disclosure will occur on the relevant dedicated government transparency websites.

The data, once published, will be available for at least 3 years (unless another legal or regulatory retention period applies in the relevant country). 

HCPs may always inquire about the methods and purposes of the processing and disclosures described above, as well as “opt out” of or withdraw their consent to such disclosures, as applicable. If the HCP wishes to review, correct, update, restrict, object to the processing, withdraw their consent, or delete their personal data, as well as receive an electronic copy of such data in order to transmit it to another company, they may contact us at 
transparency@argenx.com  and/or our Privacy Office via email at  privacy@argenx.com. We will respond to requests consistent with applicable laws and implement appropriate measures to ensure that the HCPs’ privacy rights are respected.
