For information on how we protect personal data in the CTIS:

The joint controllership arrangement describes the allocation of respective roles, responsibilities and practical arrangements between the parties for compliance with their respective data protection obligations as part of the authorisation and supervision of clinical trials in CTIS.

These parties include:

When registered users access CTIS for the first time, they have to accept the terms of the joint controllership arrangement before they can proceed.
