Legal basis for processing

Data protection laws mean that each use we make of personal information must have a “legal basis”.  The relevant legal bases are set out in the General Data Protection Regulation (EU Regulation 2016/679) and in current UK data protection legislation.

How we keep your information safe

We ensure that there are appropriate technical and organisational controls (including physical, electronic and managerial measures) in place to protect your personal details.  For example our online forms are always encrypted and our network is protected and routinely monitored. 

Your Rights

Under UK data protection law, you have rights over personal information that we hold about you.  We’ve summarised these below:

When the Patient’s data is processed in violation of legal requirements, the Patient has the right to lodge a complaint with the ICO – Information Commissioner’s Office.
