BTB Personal Data Transfer Agreement

Personal Data Transfer Agreement (sep2023) __________ This Personal Data Transfer Agreement (this “DTA”) has been entered into by and between: PARTIES Karolinska University Hospital (corp. reg. no. 232100-0016), a public teaching hospital organized under the laws of Sweden, through [insert department at K], having its principal place of business at [Eugeniavägen 3, 171 64 Solna], Sweden (“K”) and [Insert name of Company/organisation/person that is to receive the data], ([corp. reg. no./pers. ID no. xxxxxx-xxxx]), a [insert legal entity such as “company”] organized under the laws of [Sweden/other country], having its principal place of business at [insert address], [Sweden/other country] (“Recipient”). The above parties are hereinafter jointly referred to as “Parties” and separately as “Party”. WHEREAS (A) K has collected personal data in the field of pediatric cancer research via Barntumörbanken (BTB)/The Swedish Childhood Tumour Biobank. BTB is a research project, national sample collection and infrastructure with the overall aim to enhance and be a resource for increased knowledge on childhood tumours, leading to positive impact on the future clinical care and outcome of children with cancer. BTB collects biobank samples from Swedish pediatric cancer patients and performs genomic and molecular genomic analysis on the collected tissue material. K is the research principal for the BTB project (ethical permits Dnr 2021-04058), while the main activities in the project are conducted at Karolinska Insititutet (KI), were BTB is a unit, in accordance with separate agreements between K and KI. BTB has procedures including scientific and regulatory evaluations for the secondary use of personal data collected and/or generated within the project. The personal data collections are under the supervision of Johanna Sandgren as Director for BTB at KI and Mathias Axelsson as the head of Molecular Diagnostics Karolinska/K. [K is the controller of the collected personal data, as that term is understood under Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data, and repealing Directive 95/46/EC (General Data Protection Regulation, hereinafter “GDPR”). GDPR and all other applicable laws and regulations on data protection shall hereinafter jointly be referred to as “Data Protection Laws”. (B) Recipient would like to have access to certain personal data that K has collected. Recipient’s purpose of processing the personal data is academic research with ethical approval. The purpose of the personal data processing is for this project… [Insert a brief description of the Recipient’s purpose of processing the personal data that K has collected. A further description about the purpose of processing the personal data shall be described in Attachment 1 “Description of the Research”. The timeframe and methodology by which the data and/or data will be dispatched shall also be set out in Attachment 1.] (hereinafter the “Research”) as further described in Attachment 1 (the “Description of the Research”). (C) K is willing to transfer the personal data to Recipient, with the following legal basis according to GDPR: Article 6.1 (e) and 9.2 (j). NOW THEREFORE, the Parties have agreed as follows: 1. ACESS TO DATA 1.1 The transfer, as well as the personal data covered (the “Dataset”), are specified in Attachment 2 (the “Description of the Transfer”). 1.2 Recipient alone has determined the purposes and the means of processing the Dataset in regard to the Research described in Attachment 1 and the Parties therefore agree that they are both independent controllers. 1.3 The Dataset shall at all times be transferred to Recipient by appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk of the transfer according to the instructions in Attachment 2. 1.4 Any personal data in the Dataset shall be pseudonymised, as that term is defined under GDPR, by K, so that the personal data cannot be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of a link or code key which is retained separately by K, i.e. in a coded and encrypted format which protects data subject identities. [Ta bort klausulen om beslut (från verksamhetschef eller samrådsgruppen för datautlämning) för utlämnande av icke pseudonymiserade personuppgifter finns.] 1.5 The Parties acknowledge that K’s responsibilities regarding the processing of personal data under this DTA is limited to the transfer of the Dataset to Recipient. 1.6 Recipient is the independent controller of all processing activities that Recipient performs after having received the Dataset and Recipient understands and agrees that Recipient is solely responsible for ensuring compliance with Data Protection Laws. 1.7 The Parties agree that in relation to the processing of personal data, this DTA shall take priority over any other agreement between the Parties. 2. PERMITTED USE 2.1 Recipient agrees to only use the Dataset for the purposes set out in this DTA and to otherwise not use or disclose the Dataset unless required by applicable law. 2.2 K shall be free, in its sole discretion, to distribute the Dataset, in whole or in part, to others and to use it for its own purposes. 3. PROCESSORS 3.1 Where Recipient’s processing of the personal data will be carried out by a processor on behalf of Recipient, Recipient shall ensure that the processor will implement appropriate technical and organisational measures in such a manner that the processing will meet the requirements of Data Protection Laws. 4. DATA PROTECTION 4.1 Any information included in the Dataset shall be securely safeguarded, encrypted and appropriately protected from unauthorized access, use and theft. Recipient shall, as a minimum, observe the requirements on technical and organizational measures set forth by Data Protection Laws. Recipient shall notify K of any errors detected in the personal data without undue delay. 4.2 Recipient shall refrain from analysing and/or using personal data in a way that has the potential to (i) lead to the re-identification of any data subject, (ii) compromise the anonymity of a data subject in any way, or where applicable (iii) result in use of personal data outside the strict scope of any data subject’s consent. For the avoidance of doubt, Recipient shall under no circumstance use the information included in the Dataset to identify or contact data subjects unless specific permits are established for such handling. 4.3 The Parties agree to provide reasonable assistance as is necessary to each other to meet obligations placed upon them as controllers under this agreement and Data Protection Laws in an expeditious and compliant manner, including but not limited to obligations relating to the handling of personal data breaches and data subjects exercising their rights. 5. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY 5.1 The transfer of the Dataset for use in the Research does not constitute a transfer of rights or titles to the Dataset and K retains title to any information included in the Dataset. 5.2 Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties in a separate agreement, rights and title to any intellectual property rights made under the Research shall vest in Recipient. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, nothing herein shall be deemed to constitute the grant of any license under any intellectual property rights, or know-how of Recipient, its researchers or of third-party collaborators. 6. PUBLICATIONS 6.1 The Dataset is made available to Recipient as a service to the research community. Therefore, the Parties agree that results of the Research will be made publicly available. [Recipient] will publish results of the Research in scientific journals in accordance with academic standards. 6.2 In accordance with scientific custom, the contribution of K, KI/BTB and its researchers shall be expressly noted in all written or oral public disclosures, by co-authorship or acknowledgement as appropriate. 6.3 For obtained methylation data used in scientific publication the SNQ&SEQ Platform should be mentioned accordingly: ¨Methylation profiling was performed by the SNP&SEQ Technology Platform in Uppsala (www.genotyping.se).
