The aforementioned clinical cases will be published, including but not limited to: on the Proteos corporate websites: www.proteosbiotech.com and https://pbserum.com social networks (mainly Instagram and Facebook); as well as in congresses and scientific conferences. The aforementioned transfer of rights is made free of charge, with no time or territorial limitation, in accordance with Royal Legislative Decree 1/1996, of 12 April, which approves the revised text of the Intellectual Property Law, regularising, clarifying and harmonising the legal provisions in force in this area.

In this sense, the USER guarantees that he/she is the owner of the clinical cases transferred or that he/she has the relevant rights to transfer them to PROTEOS.

Likewise, taking into account that the USER provides clinical information, which may contain photographs and images (hereinafter, the “Images”), the USER undertakes that the Images will be presented in a dissociated or anonymous way, i.e., in a way that the patients or third parties involved cannot be identified. In any case, the USER must obtain the express consent of the patients and/or third parties involved, in order to provide the Images to PROTEOS, in accordance with the Organic Law 1/1982, of May 5th, on the civil protection of the right to honour, personal and family privacy and self-image.

In this sense, PROTEOS may require the USER to prove that he/she has obtained the corresponding consent. Additionally, the personal data will be kept by PROTEOS, on the basis of the acceptance of the present agreement on the transfer of clinical cases, for the time necessary to carry out the aforementioned dissemination and, in any case, until the interested party withdraws his/her consent.

Some of the platforms where the Images will be published (Facebook and Instagram) are owned by providers located in the USA, a country that may not offer a level of protection equivalent to that of the European Union, however, the said providers offer sufficient guarantees, namely: subscription of standard contractual clauses. The data subject may exercise his or her rights of access to personal data; obtain its rectification, erasure, portability, limitation of processing and opposition; or contact our data protection officer, via the following email address: dpo@smart-informatica.es. 

Likewise, the interested party may file a complaint before the Spanish Data Protection Agency: www.aepd.es. The USER undertakes to hold PROTEOS harmless against any sanction or claim for damages caused to third parties, produced by the non-fulfilment of the obligations foreseen in this agreement. In this case, PROTEOS will be able to repeat against the USER the total amount of the sanction or claim.
