Xgate Privacy Policy

Pursuant to Article 13 of Legislative Decree No 196/2003 of 30 June, (the ‘Privacy Code’) and Article 13 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (the ‘GDPR’), Axenso S.r.l. (the ‘Controller’), with a registered office address at Via Gallarate 106, Milan, informs you that the personal data (the ‘Data’) you have provided in the centralised registration procedure on its various sites and apps (‘Xgate’) will be processed in accordance with the Code and the GDPR as described below.


Purpose of information

The present document aims to describe the procedures used to manage centralised registration on the Controller’s various sites and access to the range of digital services offered, in terms of processing the personal data of Users interacting with the relevant services offered by the Controller. The information is also provided pursuant to Article 13 of the Privacy Code, Article 13 GDPR and any Measures issued by the Data Protection Authority and Recommendations by the EU personal data protection authorities, met as the Working Party referred to in Article 29 of Directive No 95/46/EC. Information on data processing is provided only in relation to processing by the Controller through its own site and does not extend to processing by any third parties that might be consulted by the User via links. Axenso S.r.l. accepts no responsibility in relation to such processing, the User having to consult the individual privacy polices of such third-party sites. Users must read the present Privacy Policy carefully before providing their data, which supplements the content of the individual privacy polices present in the relevant sites/apps.

Nature of the data

Data that can be collected by the Controller are ‘common’ data, in other words information on your professional work, as well as personal details, the province where you are registered as a doctor and your registration number, specialisation, e-mail, etc. as given in the registration form, as well as contact information, including telephone number, for the purposes of checking and authenticating your professional profile. The Controller will under no circumstances collect sensitive information that can be related to your patients.

Purpose and methods of processing

Processing of your data will involve collection, recording, organisation, storage, processing, modification, selection, extraction, comparison, use, interconnection, blocking, communication, erasure and distribution in such a way as to ensure their integrity and confidentiality by adopting the most advanced security tools. Processing will also be carried out electronically for the following purposes: a) allowing you to complete central registration on the various sites managed by the Controller, in order to facilitate access to professional content intended for professional Users; b) centralised authentication and registration for web and mobile (Single Sign On), including recovery of passwords used for accessing the Controller’s digital services; c) subscription to the individual services offered by the Controller through the individual sites/apps for which specific information is provided by the privacy policies of the individual sites/apps; d) sending of medical-scientific information or other pertinent details (e.g. congresses, seminars, conventions); e) sending of medical-scientific publications; f) market research and statistical analysis, using anonymous or aggregated data; g) fulfilling obligations laid down by the applicable laws, regulations, Community rules or by an order of the Supervisory Authority (such as accounting or tax disclosure obligations); h) exercising the rights of the Controller, for example the right of defence in court.
Personal data will be processed by the Controller for the time strictly necessary to achieve the above purposes, in any case not exceeding 10 years from the end of the service.

Centralised registration procedure (Xgate)

The aim of this procedure is to offer Users a single solution for accessing and availing of the services offered by the Controller and the scientific content available through its sites/apps. The User therefore has the option of registering once only and using the credentials created to access content on the Controller’s various sites/apps. Access to the sites is granted only to doctors and health professionals, and User checking and authentication procedures are also carried out to ensure that only professional Users register.
Once the registration form has been completed with the required data, a message will be sent to the e-mail address provided asking the User to confirm registration via the link provided in the e-mail (confirmed opt-in). After confirmation, registration will continue with cross-checking of the credentials provided by the User by accessing data in public registers (e.g. professional associations), followed up in all cases by a telephone call.

Centralised management of data collected through the sites/apps (Xgate)

As stated, the personal data provided during registration or visits to the Controller’s various sites/apps will be managed centrally, so as to enable single management of Users’ profiles and easier control over provision and use of their data. Data collected by the Controller and centralised in this manner can be used to fulfil specific User requests regarding the services and projects offered by the Company, and also, subject to the User’s specific consent, for profiling and medical-scientific information activities.

Medical-scientific information and profiling activities

Data collected centrally by the various sites/apps can be processed by the Controller, subject to the User’s consent, for sending material containing medical-scientific information (e.g. professional publications, invitations to events, etc.) via e-mail or by automated means. Consent is requested at the end of the registration form. Failure to provide consent will not affect registration for the sites/apps and the User can avail of their services.
To enable the User to refuse mailings easily, all communications relating to new services and functions offered by the Company will enable the User to unsubscribe from all similar communications in the future, obviously without affecting their ability to avail of the requested services.Furthermore, data collected may be used to improve the range of services and the medical-scientific information offered by Axenso S.r.l., making them more focussed on and relevant to the User's professional work. Processing of data for profiling is optional and will only be carried out where Users specifically consent to such processing at the end of the registration form.
For medical-scientific information and profiling purposes, personal data will be processed by the Controller for the time strictly necessary to achieve the above purposes, in any case not exceeding two years from the end of the service.
Users are also informed that they can exercise the rights referred to in Article 7 of the Privacy Code and Article 15 GDPR in relation to profiling activities, as further detailed below.

Scope of data disclosure

In such cases, the Controller hereby warrants that the transfer of the data outside of the EU will be performed in accordance with the applicable laws, subject to the standard contractual provisions laid down by the European Commission.

Users provide their data on an optional basis; however any refusal to provide the data requested in the registration from will make it impossible to complete Axenso registration.
