Natural History Study

A natural history study is a preplanned intended to track the course of the disease. Its purpose is to identify demographic, genetic, environmental, and other variables (e.g., treatment modalities, concomitant medications) that correlate with the disease’s development and outcomes. Natural history studies are likely to include patients receiving the current standard of care and/or emergent care, which may alter some manifestations of the disease.

Right of rectification

The right of rectification is the right to obtain from the controller the rectification without delay of inaccurate or incomplete personal data (Article 18 of Regulation (EU) 2018/1725 ).

The right of rectification is an essential complement to the right of access and is important to maintain a high level of data quality.

To exercise the right of rectification, the data subject usually has to write to the controller of the processing operation. By way of illustration, if you need to change your personal address or if you find that information about you is inaccurate, you should exercise your right of rectification by contacting the controller who holds these data.
