Based on this business cooperation, but primarily for the purpose of protecting the public interest in the field of public health or the key interests of patients, as in the case of reporting a side effect related to the use of a medicine, PHOENIX Farmacija will process your data if you report a side effect of a medicine (a side effect is any unwanted, accidental or harmful phenomenon associated with the use of a certain medicine).

We also collect data that is considered particularly sensitive personal data, namely data about health, i.e. medical history and current state of health. Health data is only processed when it is important and necessary for the proper documenting of side effects and to fulfil requirements in the field of pharmacovigilance. In addition to personal data, we may also collect information about the product that caused the side effect, including the dose that you are taking or that was prescribed to you, the reason why you are taking the product or why it was prescribed to you and any subsequent changes in your usual medication schedule, as well as information about side effects that you had, the therapies you received to treat those side effects and any other long-term consequences of those side effects for your health;

Data obtained through the use of video surveillance in accordance with the provisions of the Act on the Implementation of the General Data Protection Regulation is adequately protected because only authorized persons have access. Third parties do not have access. The data can be provided to competent authorities at their request.
