Third Party Access Program

IQVIA licenses syndicated market research data to clients for internal use only. The TPA Program enables clients to obtain limited use licenses for their vendors so these vendors can access and use that IQVIA data for the sole benefit of the client. The TPA Program also helps IQVIA protect its intellectual property and, in some circumstances, aids compliance with data privacy and data supplier requirements.

Third Party Access Program Overview

The Third Party Access (TPA) program allows IQVIA clients to request a limited use license agreement for a Third Party Vendor to perform services for that client.

The resulting IQVIA Third Party Limited License Agreement permits IQVIA clients to share IQVIA Data with Third Party Vendors for a pre-defined purpose and solely for the benefit of the requesting IQVIA client.

Understand What is IQVIA Data

IQVIA data is information that has undergone some combination of collection, standardization (e.g., cleansing, editing, bridging to standard identifiers), creation and organization based on (i) a proprietary offering design, (ii) IQVIA panel design and sources, and (iii) IQVIA proprietary methodologies and processes.

TPA Program for Clients

The TPA program serves two key objectives: It enables our clients to maximize the value of the IQVIA Data they have licensed from us and allows IQVIA to protect its intellectual property. If you have questions, contact TPA Program Support.

TPA Program for Vendors

IQVIA and Third Party Vendors have mutual clients, so we must work together to maximize value for these clients. As a result, IQVIA provides limited licenses (TPA Agreements) to Third Party Vendors. The TPA Agreements identify

  • what is IQVIA Data
  • the access Third Party Vendors may have to the data
  • the permissible use
  • the need to maintain confidentiality and only disclose it in certain enumerated circumstances
  • the requirement to return or destroy it at the end of a project

If you have questions, reach out to your Client contact or TPA Program Support.
