We will only transfer your personal data to a third party if (a) it is deemed necessary to fulfil our support, obligations and services to you and (b) that third party agrees to comply with our procedures and policies or if they have put in place equivalent policies and procedures of their own.

We will usually only process your personal data where:

  • the processing is necessary to protect your vital interests
  • the processing is necessary for the provision of health or social care
  • the processing is necessary for our legitimate interests or those of third parties.

Where the legal reason for processing is the performance of a contract with you, if you do not provide relevant personal data we will not be able to fulfil our contractual obligation(s) to you and this may have a detrimental impact on you.

How do we keep your personal data accurate?

We will keep the personal data we store about you accurate and up to date.

We will take every reasonable step to erase or rectify inaccurate data without delay.

Please tell us if your personal details change or if you become aware of any inaccuracies in the personal data we hold about you.
