The process for creating and registering an account to access the Portal (a “Onekey Web Authentication Account”) is as follows:
3.1.1. The User can either (i) insert his/her healthcare professional card into a card reader (if available) in order to automatically fill out the form (and then complete the form if certain fields remain blank), or (ii) fill out the entire registration form available on the Portal. The User shall provide the requested mandatory information, while ensuring that it is accurate and complete
3.1.2. IQVIA then checks all of the information provided by the User and may, in its sole discretion, independently verify the accuracy and completeness of such information by reference to a third party;
3.1.3. IQVIA then in its absolute discretion verifies whether on the basis of the submitted information, the User meets the conditions for creating an Onekey Web Authentication Account.
If the above conditions are met, the User receives via email a hypertext link together with his/her identifier and a modifiable password that will allow for activation of his/her Onekey Web Authentication Account. Thereafter, using his/her identifier and password and subject to these Terms, the User will be able to access and use the Portal.
3.2. Security of the Identifier and Password
The connection identifier and password for each User are strictly personal and confidential, and may not be used by anyone except the relevant User to which they are assigned. Every User is personally responsible for his/her connection identifier and password, and must therefore ensure their security and confidentiality. In case of loss or theft of his/her identifier and/or password, the User undertakes to so inform IQVIA as quickly as possible.
3.3. Modification of the Information Granting Access to the Portal
Users acknowledge and agree that the creation of an Onekey Web Authentication Account is contingent on the User's status. Consequently, Users shall promptly inform IQVIA of any modification of his/her status or professional situation that is likely to impact the access rights granted to the User herein.
3.4. Loss of Portal Access Right
IQVIA reserves the right, at any time and without prior notice, to deactivate an identifier or password in its absolute discretion, including in circumstances where (but not limited to):
3.4.1. the User has provided IQVIA with inaccurate, false or otherwise misleading information at the time of registration;
3.4.2. the User has not promptly provide an update in connection with his/her change of status in accordance with paragraph 3.3 above;
3.4.3. the change in the User's status no longer entitles the User to use an Onekey Web Authentication Account (in IQVIA’s absolute discretion);
3.4.4. the identifier and/or password has been communicated to a third party or a third party has been allowed to access the Portal using another User’s then current web session; or
3.4.5. the User has made fraudulent or otherwise unlawful use of the Portal.
3.5. Publisher websites
3.5.1. You acknowledge and agree that IQVIA has no control over any website owned or operated for or on behalf of a Publisher.

3.5.2. Each Publisher is responsible for its own web site. Hence, each Publisher may in its sole discretion determine who will be authorised to access its website, on the basis of the status of the Users and by means of the Onekey Web Authentication connection identifier and password. The Users acknowledge and agree that IQVIA is not involved in this decision and therefore IQVIA shall not be held responsible for any User’s inability to access any web site of a Publisher. In order to challenge any such website access refusal, the User should therefore directly liaise with the website's Publisher.

6.5.1. Cookies
We may employ a cookie, or small piece of computer code that enables Web servers to “identify” visitors, each time an Individual initiates a session on the Portal. A cookie is set in order to identify Data Subjects; tailor the Portal to you; measure and research the effectiveness of the Portal´s features, offerings and advertisements; and authenticate Users for registered services. Cookies can only access Personal Information that you have provided on the Portal and cannot be accessed by other sites. Data Subjects also have the ability to delete cookie files from their own hard drive at any time by clicking on the Privacy or History tab typically found on the Settings or Options menu in your Internet browser. However, please also be advised that cookies may be necessary to provide access to much of the content and many of the features of the Portal.

Through the Portal, IQVIA may in the future allow Third-Party advertising partners to set tracking tools (e.g., cookies) to collect anonymous, non-Personal Information regarding your activities (e.g., your IP address, page(s) visited, time of day). These advertising partners may use this information (and similar information collected from other websites) for purposes of delivering targeted advertisements to you when you visit non-IQVIA related websites within their networks. This practice is commonly referred to as “interest-based advertising” or “online behavioral advertising.”
6.5.3. Non-identified Aggregated Information
IQVIA may use your Personal Information and other information about you to create non-identified and aggregated information, such as de-identified demographic information, de-identified location information, information about the computer or device from which you access the Portal or other online services, or other analyses we create. Anonymized and aggregated information is used for a variety of functions, including the measurement of visitors’ interest in and use of various portions or features of the Portal. Non-identified or aggregated information is not Personal Information, and IQVIA may use such information in a number of ways, including research, internal analysis, analytics and any other legally permissible purposes. We may share this information within IQVIA and with Third Parties for our or their purposes in non-identified or aggregated form that is designed to prevent anyone from identifying you.

IQVIA adheres to the Directive of 1995 and the GDPR from May 25th, 2018. IQVIA is the controller of the Personal Information processed through the Portal.

Certain service providers also may be processors of your Personal Information, on our behalf, both inside and outside of the European Union, and have been chosen because of their experience in processing Personal Information and because they provide safeguards that are sufficient to comply with applicable law (including the technical security measures governing the processing to be carried out).

7.2. No delay or omission by either party to exercise any right or power it has under the Terms will impair or be construed as a waiver of such right or power. A waiver by any party of any breach or covenant will not be construed to be a waiver of any succeeding breach or any other covenant.
