Recipient and disclosure of personal data
Siemens Healthineers works with its affiliated companies and external services providers and may therefore transfer your Personal Data outside of Singapore for the purposes described above to:
other Siemens Healthineers and Siemens Group companies;
suppliers and service providers to enable such parties to perform functions on our behalf and under our instructions in order to carry out the purposes identified above. These may include, amongst others, infrastructure and IT service providers (for IT maintenance activities, processing enquiries, administration of user identities) and third party consultants who support us in the course of our business.
courts, arbitration tribunals, authorities or legal advisors, if this is necessary to comply with applicable law or to assert, exercise or defend against legal claims.
As a global company, Siemens Healthineers also has affiliates in countries around the world. The applicable law in some of these countries do not guarantee the same level of data protection as Singapore (“Third Countries”).
In the event that the recipients of your Personal Data are located in Third Countries, Siemens Healthineers will take other measures, such as introducing legally enforceable contractual obligations where the recipient is also bound to comply with data protection laws and regulations, to ensure that your Personal Data continues to receive a standard of protection that is at least comparable to that provided under local law .
For example, we may share your Personal Data with affiliates of Siemens Healthineers in Third Countries where they may be required to implement binding corporate rules of Siemens for the protection of Personal Data (Binding Corporate Rules, "BCR") or where there are business improvement exceptions recognised under local law. You can find further information about the Siemens BCR here.
Further information and a copy of the implemented measures can be obtained upon request from the Siemens Healthineers Data Privacy Organization (see contact information under "Contact").

We will securely delete such data in accordance with applicable law upon request.
For Personal Data that we collect and process for other purposes, Siemens Healthineers will typically retain such Personal Data for as long as it is necessary to fulfil the purpose or until you revoke your consent or object to the processing and there is no other legal basis or overriding legitimate interest for the processing.
To the extent that Siemens Healthineers needs to process your Personal Data in order to fulfil a legal obligation (such as retention obligations under tax or commercial laws) or the processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims, Siemens Healthineers stores your Personal Data until the legal obligation is fulfilled or the legal claims have been asserted.
To protect your Personal Data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, use, or alteration and against unauthorized disclosure or access, we use adequate physical, technical and organizational security measures.
