Participants in Revive Research Institute Patient Databases
Certain Revive Research Institute services involve the development and maintenance of databases of persons who may be eligible to and may wish to participate in clinical trials and medical research studies (“Patient Recruitment Databases”) managed by Sponsors. Once a person is recorded in Revive Research Institute’s Patient Recruitment Databases, Revive Research Institute may contact them for further screening and potentially refer them to potentially suitable clinical trials or research studies matched to their areas of medical interest.
In order to match such persons’ entered into Patient Recruitment Databases to appropriate clinical trials or research studies Revive Research Institute will, on a need to know basis, request, collect, and process suitable personal data on the basis of the person’s explicit consent, such as names, addresses and contact information, which may be collected on voice recordings, as well as sensitive personal information.
Examples of sensitive personal data we collect include:
- Healthcare information e.g. height and weight, physical and mental health or conditions, medical records, disabilities
- Race and ethnicity information
- Areas of interest in medical research
- Genetic data.
Your personal information may be collected through either volunteering it through one of our Websites or in the context of a live interview or screening telephone calls or meetings with Revive Research Institute representatives. Please be aware that by providing your personal information you consent to a member of our team contacting you directly by way of following up with you, including contacting you directly by telephone or other means, including SMS text messages, and adding your personal information to our Patient Recruitment Databases.
In this context, Revive Research Institute is the controller of personal data.
As discussed earlier, the main purpose of collecting personal data in Patient Recruitment Data Bases is to match patients to suitable clinical trials and research projects based on the individuals’ areas of medical interest. For example, if an individual with atopic dermatitis expresses a desire to participate in clinical research or avail of novel treatments for atopic dermatitis or associated symptoms:
- they may volunteer their contact information and relevant health information to Revive Research Institute for inclusion in a Patient Recruitment Database
- a Revive Research Institute client or Sponsor who is developing novel treatments for atopic dermatitis or symptoms may engage Revive Research Institute to help refer interested potential patients who are willing to try an experimental treatment in a controlled clinical trial environment
- if the Revive Research Institute client’s or Sponsor’s clinical trial eligibility criteria align with the individual’s information stored in our Patient Recruitment Database and it is being conducted within their geographical reach, we can contact the individual and refer them to a suitable clinic where medical screening of potential clinical trial participants is being performed. Please be aware the screening process is generally done face-to-face and will require you to supply additional personal information to us and/or the parties managing the study and separate privacy terms may apply to additional personal information collected at that stage.
Revive Research Institute may use your Personal Information to respond to subsequent requests you may make of us, and from time to time, we may refer to your personal information to better understand your needs and how we can improve our websites, products, and services on the basis of our legitimate interests in doing so. We may enhance or merge your personal information with data obtained from third parties for the same purposes. Any other information transferred by you which cannot be used to identify you (and which, therefore, does not constitute personal information) may be included in databases owned and maintained by Revive Research Institute or its agents worldwide. Revive Research Institute may also use anonymized personal data to run general statistical analysis in support of patient recruitment and similar analytical purposes.
