EU-U.S. and Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Frameworks
Jazz Pharmaceuticals Inc. and its subsidiary Celator Pharmaceuticals Inc. (together “Jazz Pharmaceuticals U.S.”) has certified to the EU-U.S. and Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Frameworks (together the “Privacy Shield”) as set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce that it will adhere to the Privacy Shield Principles (the “Principles”) regarding the processing of personal information transferred from organizations in the EU and Switzerland to the U.S. Please click here to view our EU-US and Swiss – US Privacy Shield Policy. To learn more about the Privacy Shield program, and to view Jazz Pharmaceuticals U.S.’s certification, please visit http://www.privacyshield.gov.
The Jazz Pharmaceuticals U.S. certification covers both “personal information” which means any information from which an individual can be directly or indirectly identified, as well as “sensitive personal information” which means personal information revealing an individual’s racial or ethnic origin, political opinions or membership of political parties or similar movements, religious or philosophical beliefs, membership of a professional or trade organization or union, physical or mental health, including any opinion thereof, sex life, and, where permitted by applicable law, criminal offences and alleged offences, criminal records or proceedings with regard to criminal or unlawful behavior. Where the individual is based in Switzerland, the definition of sensitive personal information also includes personal information revealing an individual’s ideological views or activities, information on social security measures or administrative or criminal proceedings and sanctions, which are treated outside pending proceedings. The certification applies to personal information both in electronic or paper form, including personal information and sensitive personal information from agents, consultants, contractors, vendors, service providers, business associates, healthcare professionals, patients, clinical trial participants and others.
Under the Privacy Shield, Jazz Pharmaceuticals U.S. has committed to respect the rights of individuals of EEA member countries and Switzerland regarding the right to access personal information about them, and to limit the use and disclosure of their personal information.
Jazz Pharmaceuticals U.S. shall remain liable under the Principles if an agent uses or discloses personal information received from Jazz Pharmaceuticals U.S. in a manner inconsistent with the Principles, unless Jazz Pharmaceuticals U.S. proves that it is not responsible for the event giving rise to the damage.
With respect to personal information transferred or received pursuant to the Privacy Shield, Jazz Pharmaceuticals U.S. is subject to the investigatory and enforcement powers of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission. In certain instances, Jazz Pharmaceuticals U.S. may be required to disclose personal information in response to lawful requests by public authorities, including, to meet national security or law enforcement requirements.
In compliance with the Privacy Shield Principles, Jazz Pharmaceuticals U.S. commits to resolve complaints about our collection or use of personal information received pursuant to the Privacy Shield.

Jazz Pharmaceuticals U.S. has further committed to cooperate with the panel established by the EU data protection authorities (DPAs) and the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC) with respect to unresolved Privacy Shield complaints concerning data transferred from the EU and Switzerland.

Under certain circumstances, an individual may choose to invoke binding arbitration to resolve any Privacy Shield disputes that have not been resolved by other means.

These rights may include the right to: (i) request access to and rectification or erasure of their personal information; (ii) obtain restriction of processing or to object to processing of their personal information; and (iii) the right to data portability.
