How we use your personal data

Most commonly we will use your personal data in the following circumstances: 

​

• Where you have consented before the processing.

• Where we need to perform obligations under a contract we are about to enter or have entered with you.

• Where it is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests.

• Where we need to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation. 

​​

Please see our Glossary to find out more about the types of lawful basis that we will rely on to process your personal data. 

​

We will only send you direct marketing communications by email if we have your consent. You have the right to withdraw that consent at any time by contacting us. 

​

Disclosures of your personal data

​

You share your information as you use and communicate through our Services, and we share your information to help us operate, provide, improve, understand, support, and market our Services within the NHS and Private Practice groups. To provide the Services we need to share your personal data with other users within the NHS and Private Practice group. This includes medical professionals who work within the NHS or NHS affiliated Private Practice. 

​

These organisations have been vetted by us to ensure that your information will be dealt with responsibly. These organisations are not permitted to use your personal information for any means other than to use it in accordance with our instructions. 

​

From time to time it may also be necessary to share your information with regulators, such as the Care Quality Commission, the General Medical Council, NHS Digital, the Information Commissioners Office and the Health Service Ombudsman. 

​

Users with whom you communicate may store or reshare your information (including your personal data and messages that were transmitted) with others on and off our Services, including patients of the NHS or Private Practice.

 

International transfers

​

Some of our external third parties are based outside the EEA so their processing of your personal data will involve a transfer of data outside the EEA.

​

Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the EEA, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:

​

• We will only transfer your personal data to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data by the European Commission. For further details, see European Commission: Adequacy of the protection of personal data in non-EU countries.

• Where we use certain service providers, we may use specific contracts approved by the European Commission which give personal data the same protection it has in Europe. For further details, see European Commission: Model contracts for the transfer of personal data to third countries.

• Where we use providers based in the US, we may transfer data to them if they are part of the Privacy Shield which requires them to provide similar protection to personal data shared between Europe and the US. For further details, see European Commission: EU-US Privacy Shield.

​

Please contact us if you want further information on the specific mechanism used by us when transferring your personal data out of the EEA.
