The mapping of the conflicts of interests is updated regularly and at least once a year.

Moreover, where the organisational systems implemented are not enough to ensure, with reasonable certainty, that the risk of harming the interests of unit holders or shareholders will be averted, Sofinnova Partners will inform investors clearly, before acting on their behalf, of the general nature or the source of these conflicts of interests.
Sofinnova Partners may carry out investment and disinvestment transactions involving listed companies. Where this is the case, Sofinnova Partners does not execute the orders itself, and merely transmits its orders to intermediaries that have been carefully selected. In order to do so, Sofinnova Partners has drawn up and implements a selection policy for intermediaries, which is based on several criteria, including the price and the quality of the service, reliability and the intermediary’s capacity to execute the orders and settle the corresponding amounts. Each year, Sofinnova Partners evaluates the intermediaries with which it does business, in order to ensure that it only works with
quality entities.
Sofinnova Partners SAS (hereinafter “Sofinnova Partners”) attaches considerable importance to the protection of your personal data.
The purpose of this policy is present how Sofinnova Partners collects, uses, shares, stores and protects personal information. This policy has been drawn up within the framework of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016, known as the “GDPR” (General Data Protection Regulation).
This is information that directly or indirectly identifies a natural person (name, address, identification number, telephone number, photograph, date of birth, IP address, fingerprints, etc.).
Sofinnova Partners is the Controller within the meaning of the GDPR, and in this capacity collects personal data on investors and professional contacts as part of its business activity.
Sofinnova Partners may have to collect various types of personal data concerning you, including:
Your data is processed for the aforementioned purposes and, in particular, is necessary:
We implement an appropriate organisation and technical resources to protect your personal data, in order to ensure its confidentiality and to prevent it from being garbled, damaged, destroyed or disclosed to unauthorised third parties. The data collected can only be accessed by authorised persons at Sofinnova Partners and by our service providers in order to fulfil the engagements that are entrusted to them.
Nevertheless, although we take reasonable precautions to protect your personal data, no transmission or storage technology is completely infallible. In accordance with the applicable
European regulation, in the event of a proven breach of Personal Data that could trigger an increased risk for the rights and liberties of the persons concerned, we undertake to report this breach to the relevant regulatory authority and, where required by said regulation, to the persons concerned (individually or generally, as required).
Without prejudice to the above, it is your responsibility to exercise caution in order to prevent any unauthorised access to your personal data and to your terminals (computer, smartphone, tablet, etc.).
Your personal data is used exclusively by Sofinnova Partners and will not be sold to or exchanged with third parties. We draw your attention to the fact that we may have to use or disclose your personal data, if so required by the law or regulations, as well as to some of our service providers, if this is necessary for the fulfilment of their engagement (custodian, independent auditor, etc.).
Sofinnova Partners stores your personal data:
Right of access: you have the right to request access to your personal data, as well as to other information concerning the processing of said data.
Right to rectification: you have the right to request the correction of any personal data that is inadequate, incomplete or erroneous. You are also responsible for ensuring that any change in your personal situation is notified to us quickly so that we can keep your personal data up to date.
Right to be forgotten: you have the right for your personal data to be deleted under certain circumstances; for example, when you withdraw your consent, when you object to processing in our legitimate interests and when we have no legitimate interest that takes precedence (see below) or when your personal data is processed unlawfully.
Right to data portability: when we cite (as a legitimate reason for processing) your notification via this declaration, or when the processing of your data is necessary in order to fulfil a contract to which you are a party or in order to take actions, at your request, before entering into a contract and when the personal data is processed using automated means, you have the right to receive all said personal data that you provided to us in a structured, computerised, common format, and you also have the right to obligate us to transfer said information to another controller, where this is technically possible.
Right to object to processing (including profiling) for legitimate reasons: if we cite our legitimate interest in processing your personal data, we believe that we can show that this is an obligation for us. In particular, the need to protect Sofinnova Partners and the financial system, generally speaking, means that we have a duty to manage, prevent and investigate fraud, exposure to risk to reputation and image, claims and other forms of responsibility associated with our Funds. If we cite our legitimate interest in order to justify the processing of your personal data, you may object to said processing. In this case, we are required to refrain from further processing, unless we are able to prove the existence of processing obligations that take precedence over your interests, rights and liberties, or unless processing is required for implementation or defence of legal actions. Each objection will be reviewed individually.
Right to refuse direct marketing (including profiling): you have the right to object to the use of your personal data (including for profiling) for direct marketing purposes (to provide you with information on our investment offerings or to invite you to a promotional event).
Right to restrict processing: you can object to the processing of your personal data in the following cases:
If your personal data is subject to restrictions (which means that we will merely store said data), we will only process the data with your consent or for the initiation, implementation or defence of legal actions.
Right to file a complaint: you have the right to file a complaint with the regulatory authority for your place of residence, your workplace or the place of the alleged infringement.
Right to withdraw consent: you can withdraw your consent to the processing of your personal data at any time without this affecting the legality of the processing to which you consented and that was undertaken prior to said withdrawal.
You can exercise these rights by sending us a letter together with a copy of your identity document, either via e-mail to compliance@sofinnovapartners.com or by post for the attention of The Legal Department, Sofinnova Partners, 7/11 boulevard Haussmann, 75009 Paris, France. Sofinnova Partners reserves the right to update its Personal Data Protection Policy at any time.
