Access to your identity in the application is restricted to the authorized employees of the Studio Moderna. The Studio Moderna is required to ensure that your identity is not disclosed to anyone beyond the authorized employees competent to receive or follow up on reports, without your explicit consent. This also applies to any other information from which your identity may be directly or indirectly deduced.
