Information about your health, racial or ethnic origin, genetic and biometric data and sexual orientation is classified as ‘special category data’. We will only process this information on the basis that it is necessary for medical diagnosis, the provision of health care services and research purposes, and/or with your consent.

How do we collect personal data?

Most of the personal data we process is provided to us directly by you. However, sometimes we will receive personal data and special category personal data from third parties, such as:

  • your GP
  • a primary healthcare provider such as a hospital where you have been referred for other healthcare services
  • a family member

In these cases, you will typically have consented to the sharing of your personal data by such persons for the purpose of your healthcare treatment. We will use your personal data for the purpose of your healthcare treatment. 

If you give us personal data on behalf of someone else, you confirm that the other person has appointed you to act on their behalf and has agreed that you can:

  • give consent on their behalf to the processing of their personal data

  • Local authorities
  • Healthcare providers generally
  • Data controllers and processors involved in your healthcare pathway
  • Suppliers who we appoint to help us provide our services to you

We will only share your personal data with the above if it is necessary for the purpose of your healthcare treatment. Suppliers must meet our strict requirements about the security and privacy of your personal data.

  • to countries within the EEA (European Economic Area that are subject to data protection rules equivalent to UK legislation
