General Statement

Amarin Pharmaceuticals Ireland, Ltd., a subsidiary of Amarin Corporation plc, respects your right to privacy. This Privacy Policy describes how Amarin, as data controller, collects, uses, shares and secures the personal data you provided or is collected through our website.

Collection of Your Personal Data

Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person that enables a third party to identify this person, directly or indirectly.

The provision of your personal data is optional and you can generally use our website without revealing any personal identifiable information about yourself. However, in certain areas of our website, we may offer you the opportunity to contact us or we may request information from you to verify that you are a healthcare provider. In these cases, we will collect your personal data.

We will collect your personal data:

  • when you contact us through the email addresses provided on our website, when you subscribe to our mailing list or when you use our career opportunities portal;
  • when we answer your requests and comments made through the above communication channels;
  • via cookies and trackers used on our website.

Use of Your Personal Data

We use your personal data to:

  • manage our relationships with you, e.g., to communicate with you in response to the requests and comments you communicate to us, to send you our alerts, news and financial information, etc.;
  • manage our external and financial communications;
  • manage the recruitment of our future employees;
  • comply with our legal obligations and cooperate with regulators and law enforcement authorities.

The bases upon which we process your personal data include the following:

  • Pursuance of our legitimate interests, for example, to provide you with information that enables us to better know you, to answer to your requests, etc. When we process personal information to meet our legitimate interests, we put in place robust safeguards to ensure that your privacy is protected;
  • Performance of any contract we execute with you; for instance, in our relationships with our investors;

Recipients of Your Personal Data

We may share your personal data with third parties under the following circumstances:

  • Amarin group companies: the personal data we collect about you is intended for Amarin and its affiliated companies and their employees only;
  • Service providers: in some cases, your personal data may be disclosed to our service providers that perform business operations for us; for example, to send you our news. These companies are authorized to use your personal data only insofar as it is necessary for them to provide these services to us;
  • Law enforcement agency, court, regulator, government authority or other third party: we may share your personal data with these recipients when we are required to do so in order to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation, or otherwise to protect our rights or the rights of any third party. Where permitted by law or regulation and reasonably practicable, we will attempt to notify you when we are required to share your personal data under these circumstances;
  • Asset purchasers: we may share your personal data with any third party that purchases, or to which we transfer, all or substantially all of our assets and business. Should such a sale or transfer occur, we will use reasonable efforts to try to ensure that the entity to which we transfer your personal data uses it in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Policy. You will be notified via email and/or a prominent notice on our website of any change in ownership or uses of your personal data under these circumstances.

International Data Transfers

Because we operate as part of a global business, the potential recipients of your personal data referred to above may be located outside the country in which you are located. We may transfer your personal data to our entities and service providers located outside the European Economic Area, some of which may have laws on personal data protection that differ from those of the European Union and that do not ensure the same level of protection for personal data. We will ensure that your personal data is adequately protected when transferred. We rely on appropriate safeguards in doing so, such as execution of the Standard Contractual Clauses of the European Commission.

Retention of Your Personal Data

We only store your personal data for the period necessary and proportionate to the purpose of the processing detailed above and to enable us to:

  • Comply with record retention requirements under the law;
  • Defend or bring any existing or potential legal claims;
  • Deal with any requests, complaints or adverse events reports;
