Privacy
How CVC handles account, review, and enquiry data.
Clinical Vendor Compare processes user, reviewer, vendor, and sponsor information in order to run the platform, verify submissions, moderate content, and support vendor selection workflows.
Governance pages
To run accounts, verify reviewers, process and moderate submissions, operate the directory and compare flows, and support sponsor and vendor routes.
Public reviewer visibility may be anonymous or limited, but verification and moderation information may still be held privately within the platform.
We may use service providers that help operate hosting, storage, email, alerts, and site infrastructure. We do not treat public reviewer anonymity as a waiver of internal moderation or legal review rights.
We retain platform and moderation data for as long as reasonably needed for platform operations, trust and safety, auditability, legal response, and business records.
You may request access, correction, or deletion where applicable, subject to moderation, legal hold, platform integrity, and regulatory obligations.
Operational note
Some data is retained to protect platform trust.
Even where public review display is anonymous, internal platform records may still need to retain identity, role, evidence, or audit trail information for moderation, complaint handling, fraud prevention, and legal response.
Cross-border handling
Platform infrastructure may involve international data handling.
Where data is stored or accessed across jurisdictions, CVC should apply the relevant transfer and safeguard requirements as part of its operating model.
