When you register with the Life Sciences Research Panel, we collect the following personal data:
| Data | Purpose | Legal basis |
|---|---|---|
| First name and last name | To address you personally in communications | Consent |
| Email address | To contact you about relevant research opportunities | Consent |

We do not collect sensitive personal data (such as health information) through the registration form. If any study you are invited to participate in requires sensitive data, a separate privacy notice will be provided at that time.
How we use your data
We use your personal data only for the purposes for which it was collected. Specifically, we will:
- Contact you about research opportunities that match your professional background and area of specialisation
- Manage your panel membership and respond to any queries you raise
- Maintain records for compliance and audit purposes
- Improve the panel and our recruitment processes
We will never contact you about opportunities that are not relevant to your expertise. Participation in any study is always optional — you are free to decline any invitation.
Who we share your data with
We do not sell your personal data. We may share it in the following limited circumstances:
- Research clients: Your profile data (job title, specialisation, region) may be shared in anonymised or aggregated form to help clients understand panel composition. We will never share your name or contact details with clients without your explicit consent.
- Service providers: We use trusted third-party providers for website hosting, email communications, and data management. These providers are contractually bound to process your data securely and only for the purposes we specify.
- Legal obligations: We may disclose data where required to do so by law or in response to a legitimate request from a regulatory authority.
Where data is transferred outside the UK or European Economic Area, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, including standard contractual clauses approved by the relevant authorities.
How long we keep your data
We will retain your registration data for as long as you remain an active panel member. If you unsubscribe or request deletion, we will remove your personal data within 30 days, except where we are required to retain it for legal or compliance purposes.
