  • Interview Information – notes collected by our interviewers, and other professional assessment information;

All Jazz Pharmaceuticals’ entities have entered into an Interaffiliate Data Processing and Transfer Agreement including Standard Contractual Clauses to govern the transfer of personal information within Jazz Pharmaceuticals from the EEA, the UK and Switzerland to other countries including the United States. 

How do we protect your personal information?  

The security of your personal information is important to us. We take reasonable steps, including technical, administrative and physical safeguards, designed to protect the personal information submitted to us from loss, misuse and unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration and destruction.

In some cases, we may be required to retain information for a longer duration to comply with laws or regulations or other legal obligations, resolve disputes and enforce our agreements.

In some jurisdictions, laws and regulations tell us how long we must keep your personal information. How long depends on the laws of the jurisdiction you are in when you share the information with us.
