Which lawful basis we rely on may affect your data protection rights which are set out in brief below. You can find out more about your data protection rights and the exemptions which may apply on the ICO’s website:
Your right of access - You have the right to ask us for copies of your personal information. You can request other information such as details about where we get personal information from and who we share personal information with. There are some exemptions which means you may not receive all the information you ask for. Read more about the right of access.
Your right to rectification - You have the right to ask us to correct or delete personal information you think is inaccurate or incomplete. Read more about the right to rectification.

Our lawful bases for collecting or using personal information to provide patient care, services, pharmaceutical products and other goods are:

How long we keep information
[Insert information about how long you store personal information here.]
We will retain your contact information (i.e., name and email) no longer than necessary (i.e., your contact information will be deleted following our correspondence).
For more information, see our guidance on how long you should store information (opens in a new window).]
Duty of confidentiality
We are subject to a common law duty of confidentiality. However, there are circumstances where we will share relevant health and care information. These are where:
you’ve provided us with your consent (we have taken it as implied to provide you with care, or you have given it explicitly for other uses);
we have a legal requirement (including court orders) to collect, share or use the data;
on a case-by-case basis, the public interest to collect, share and use the data overrides the public interest served by protecting the duty of confidentiality (for example sharing information with the police to support the detection or prevention of serious crime);
If in England or Wales – the requirements of The Health Service (Control of Patient Information) Regulations 2002 are satisfied; or
If in Scotland – we have the authority to share provided by the Chief Medical Officer for Scotland, the Chief Executive of NHS Scotland, the Public Benefit and Privacy Panel for Health and Social Care or other similar governance and scrutiny process.

If you have any concerns about our use of your personal data, you can make a complaint to us using the contact details at the top of this privacy notice.
