Data Transfer Agreement for the German Cancer Research Center

Data Transfer Agreement of Human Genomic Data for Research PurposesBetween:(1)Deutsches Krebsforschungszentrum (DKFZ), Stiftung des öffentlichen Rechts, legally represented by its Directors, Prof. Dr. med. Dr. h.c. mult. Otmar D. Wiestler and Prof. Dr. rer. pol. Josef Puchta Im Neuenheimer Feld 280, D-69120 Heidelberg, Germany (“PROVIDER“) and(2)[INSERT INSTITUTION DETAILS] (“RECIPIENT”).1PreamblePublic genetic sequence databases are a critical part of our academic biomedical research infrastructure. However, human genetic data should only be made public if we can adequately protect the privacy of research subjects. Individual genomic sequence data are sensible patient data and any attempt to re-identify such data is forbidden under any circumstances. Our efforts to understand disease susceptibility or therapeutic opportunity require access to large genomic data sets. Therefore, the special privacy challenges posed by genomic data are addressed by PROVIDER with this Agreement.In response to the RECIPIENT's request for access to the DATA (as defined below), PROVIDER and the RECIPIENT agree as follows:2Definitions“DATA” shall mean all and any human genetic data obtained by the RECIPIENT from the PROVIDER including the Data Subjects’ e.g. age, sex and tumor pathology (as listed in Annex 2). For the avoidance of doubt, Data does not include samples or biological materials;“DATA SUBJECT” shall mean the person (irrespective of the state of health) to whom Data refers and who has been informed of the purpose for which the Data is held and has given his/her informed consent thereto;“COMMERCIAL PURPOSES” shall mean the sale, lease, license, or other transfer and/or the use of the DATA to and/or by a for-profit organization. However, industrially sponsored academic research shall not be considered a use of the DATA for Commercial Purposes per se.“INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY” shall mean (i) patents, designs, trademarks and trade names (whether registered or unregistered), copyright and related rights, database rights, know-how and confidential information; (ii) all other intellectual property rights and similar or equivalent rights (whether registered or unregistered and whether registrable or unregistrable) anywhere in the world which currently exist or are recognized in the future; and (iii) applications, extensions and renewals in relation to any such rights;“RECIPIENT SCIENTIST” shall mean a researcher (or an individual conducting Research under the supervision of a researcher) that is employed by the RECIPIENT and is bound by confidentiality and non-use obligations in respect of DATA and who has accepted the terms of this Agreement in writing (however, for the avoidance of doubt, without being a party to this Agreement) and has received acknowledgement of its acceptance. For the avoidance of doubt and without having explicitly accepted the terms of this Agreement in writing, “RECIPIENT SCIENTIST” may also include any other RECIPIENT’s employees, students, visiting academics, contractors, sub-contractors or independent consultants provided that any of such latter individuals is bound by confidentiality and non- use obligations no less onerous then those binding the RECIPIENT’s employees;“RESEARCH” shall mean research that is seeking to advance the understanding and treatment of cancer and closely related diseases, and work on statistical methods that may be applied to such research;“PROJECT” shall mean a detailed description as in Annex 3;3Purpose of the ProjectThe RECIPIENT agrees to use DATA only for RESEARCH as described in the purpose of the PROJECT (Annex 3).4ConfidentialityThe RECIPIENT agrees to preserve, at all times, the confidentiality of DATA pertaining to DATA SUBJECTs. In particular, the RECIPIENT undertakes not to use, or attempt to use the DATA to deliberately compromise or otherwise infringe the confidentiality of information on DATA SUBJECTs and their respective rights to privacy.5DATA ProtectionThe Recipient and its RECIPIENT SCIENTIST are covered by and the RECIPIENT shall, and shall procure that its RECIPIENT SCIENTISTS shall, comply with the obligations contained in the applicable German and EU data protection laws and regulations as amended from time to time. In particular, the RECIPIENT and its RECIPIENT SCIENTISTs inter alia understands, and shall procure that its RECIPIENT SCIENTISTs understand, their duties under the German and EU legislation in relation to the handling of DATA and the rights of DATA SUBJECTs.The RECIPIENT agrees that it, and its RECIPIENT SCIENTISTs, shall not analyze or make any use of the DATA in such a way that has the potential to:a) lead to the re-identification of any DATA SUBJECT; orb) compromise the anonymity of any DATA SUBJECT in any way.The RECIPIENT shall, and it shall procure that its RECIPIENT SCIENTISTS shall, adhere to the principles of IT-Security as set forth in Annex 1 hereto.6Access and GovernanceThe RECIPIENT agrees that it shall take all (commercially) reasonable security precautions to keep the DATA confidential, such precautions to be no less onerous than in the applicable German and EU data protection laws and regulations.The RECIPIENT agrees to use the DATA solely for RESEARCH in the frame of the purpose of the PROJECT.The RECIPIENT agrees that the DATA shall not be distributed or released to any other location and/or to any other person other than RECIPIENT SCIENTISTs or laboratory personnel under the RECIPIENT SCIENTISTs direct supervision. RECIPIENT does not have the right to sublicense the DATA. RECIPIENT shall inform PROVIDER about any third party requests for the DATA.PROVIDER reserves the right to request and inspect DATA security and management documentation at the RECIPIENT’s premises to ensure the adequacy of DATA protection measures with prior notice during the RECIPIENT’s ordinary working hours.DATA shall not be used for COMMERCIAL PURPOSES (e.g. diagnostic services). In case of intended commercial use of DATA, the RECIPIENT shall start negotiations in good faith leading to a fair market compensation of PROVIDER. Such a disclosure of DATA shall require a binding declaration of consent in writing from the person concerned.7ErrorsThe RECIPIENT agrees to notify the PROVIDER of any errors detected in the DATA without undue delay.8DATA reissueThe RECIPIENT accepts that PROVIDER will reissue DATA from time to time, with suitable versioning. If DATA is reissued at the request of the DATA SUBJECT and/or as the result of other ethical scrutiny, the RECIPIENT agrees to destroy all earlier versions of the DATA without undue delay once he has received such information. This shall not apply to the extent that DATA is saved in automatic back-up systems for which destruction shall follow the regular process of such back-up system, however, such DATA shall be eliminated within a period of four (4) weeks after reception of the respective request to do so or within a period of four (4) weeks upon termination in accordance with this Agreement.9INTELLECTUAL PROPERTYThe RECIPIENT recognizes that nothing in this Agreement shall operate to transfer to the RECIPIENT or its RECIPIENT SCIENTISTs any INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY rights in or relating to the DATA, i.e. ownership of DATA remains unchanged. The RECIPIENT does not have the right to sublicense the DATA. The RECIPIENT shall inform PROVIDER about any third party requests for the DATA.In case the RECIPIENT and its RECIPIENT SCIENTISTs developsINTELLECTUAL PROPERTY based on or related to DATA as set forth in this Agreement the RECIPIENT shall become owner of such results.The RECIPIENT will inform PROVIDER about all developed INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY based on or related to DATA as set forth in this Agreement without undue delay in writing. The RECIPIENT grants PROVIDER a non-exclusive, non-transferable, royalty-free, perpetual, non-sublicensable right to use such developed INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY for internal research purposes including collaborations with any third parties excluding any COMMERCIAL PURPOSES.10PublicationsThe RECIPIENT agrees to acknowledge in any PROVIDER’s work based in whole or part on the DATA, any PROVIDER publications which encompass and from which DATA derive, the respective version of the DATA obtained, and the role of PROVIDER.
