    2. handling your request for contact with the biobank(s) holding the biological sample that you have identified as being of interest to your research. For that purpose, the Controller will transmit your data to the biobank concerned for the sole purpose of enabling it to get back to you to directly handle your biological sample access request;
    3. sending newsletters and communications via phone, regular and email;
    4. archiving for scientific research purposes and carrying out statistical surveys.
       
  3. Recipients or Categories of Recipients and Scope of Personal Data Dissemination

  4. Storage Time
    The Controller informs you that your personal data will be stored for a period of 10 years from the last use and for a further period of time for archiving for scientific research purposes, in the latter case putting appropriate safeguards in place to protect the rights and freedoms of the data subject, in accordance with the GDPR, such as any appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure respect for the principle of data minimisation, where this does not prevent or seriously impair the achievement of the specific objective.
     
  5. Data Subject’s Rights
    In relation to the above data processing, you will be entitled to exercise the rights referred to in Article 13 of GDPR 679/16, as specified in Articles 15, 16, 17, 18, 20, 21 and 22 of GDPR 679/16, namely:

    7. the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.
       
    Please note that the right to erasure after withdrawal of consent shall not apply insofar as processing is required for archiving for scientific research purposes.
    Please note that, under Article 17 of the GDPR, the right to erasure of personal data shall not be exercisable insofar as processing is required for the purposes of archiving for scientific research purposes and carrying out statistical surveys.
