Information we process and why
Clinical Trials, Research and Scientific Operations
Clinical trial participant personal data is primarily collected and held by clinical trial sites and investigators. These parties act as data processors, joint controllers, or independent controllers, depending on the context and jurisdiction.
Tangram typically receives coded (pseudonymised) clinical and safety data that does not directly identify participants, except where identifiable data is required by law (for example, safety reporting or inspections).

Scientific Research, Reuse of Data and Safeguards
Some of our processing activities involve the use and reuse of personal data for scientific research purposes, including clinical trials, safety monitoring and related research activities.
Under data protection legislation, personal data originally collected for one research‑related purpose could be used for a compatible scientific research purpose without further consent, provided appropriate safeguards are in place and subject to any required balancing and compatibility tests.
When relying on scientific research as our lawful basis, Tangram ensures that:
- processing is necessary and proportionate for the research purpose;
- the research is unlikely to cause substantial damage or distress to individuals;
- data minimisation, pseudonymisation and access controls are applied wherever possible; and
- personal data is not used to take measures or decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects on individuals, unless required by law.
We will assess compatibility and fairness before any reuse of personal data for research‑related purposes.
Website, Marketing and Market Intelligence
| Processing activity | Categories of data subjects | Personal data processed | Lawful basis |
| Website analytics and marketing | Website visitors; subscribers | Online identifiers; IP addresses (pseudonymised); usage data; contact details | Consent or Legitimate Interests |

- Access their personal data
