CHANGE OF PURPOSE

We will only use your personal data for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose.

If we need to use your personal data for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and we will explain the legal basis which allows us to do so.

Please note that we may process your personal data without your knowledge or consent, in compliance with the above rules, where this is required or permitted by law.

DISCLOSURES OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA

Where appropriate, we may disclose your personal data to:

  • Our staff (and volunteers) at KPF so that they can support you
  • Service providers (acting as data processors and data controllers) who provide IT and system administration services including Charity Checkout.
  • Healthcare providers and agencies (acting as data controllers) who provide medical, health and support services, including NHS and other Health Services, including my GP, Mental Health Services, Social Care, Voluntary Sector Organisations
  • Treatment and support services (acting as data controllers) who provide services such as medical tattooing, hair replacement systems, hair transplant surgery, camouflage and makeup, complementary therapies, activities etc.

  • Research providers (acting as processors or joint controller) who administer and manage research projects you agree to take part in.
  • Events and hospitality providers (acting as controllers) who will host and cater events that you may attend.
  • Third parties to whom we may choose to sell, transfer, or merge parts of our business or our assets. Alternatively, we may seek to acquire other businesses or merge with them. If a change happens to our business, then the new owners may use your personal data in the same way as set out in this privacy notice.
  • In exceptional circumstance Regulators and law enforcement agencies may also request your information from us and we will provide them with your information only when there is a legal basis to do so.
  • If we suspect someone has committed fraud we’ll note it in our records and may share the information with others that we deem relevant – such as the Police.

We require all third parties to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law. We do not allow our third-party service providers to use your personal data for their own purposes and only permit them to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.

INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS

Your personal data may be transferred to, stored or accessed by our agents in other locations across the world, some of which do not have the same laws in place to protect data. Some of these countries may not be regarded as ensuring an adequate level of protection for personal information under European Union law. In these cases, we have put in place appropriate safeguards (such as contractual commitments) in accordance with applicable legal requirements to ensure that your data is adequately protected. For more information on the appropriate safeguards in place, please contact us at the details below.

DATA SECURITY

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions, and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

DATA RETENTION

We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

By law we have to keep patient personal information processed under the term of this Privacy Notice for up to seven years. Any Special Category data relating to patients may be kept indefinitely but will be subject to an annual review to ensure it is still required. Non-patient personal information will be kept in line with our Record Keeping and Retention Guidance. For more information please send enquiries via our contact details below.

YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS

Under certain circumstances, you have rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data.

Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a “data subject access request”). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.

Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.

Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.

Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.

Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios: (a) if you want us to establish the data’s accuracy; (b) where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it; (c) where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or (d) you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.

Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.

Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.

If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please contact the Data Protection Lead.

NO FEE USUALLY REQUIRED

You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.

WHAT WE MAY NEED FROM YOU

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.

TIME LIMIT TO RESPOND

We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it may take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.

NATIONAL DATA OPT-OUT PROGRAMME

The national data opt-out is an NHS digital service which enables patients receiving NHS funded care to opt-out from the use of their data for anything other than their individual care or treatment, for example research or planning purposes. All healthcare providers are required to be compliant with the national data opt-out programme from 31st July 2022. KPF will comply with this requirement by applying our NHS funded patients’ national data opt-outs. You can view or change your national data opt-out choice at any time by using the online service at www.nhs.uk/your-nhs-data-matters
(https://www.nhs.uk/your-nhs-data-matters/) or by calling 0300 303 5678. Further information on the national data opt-out programme can be found at https://digital.nhs.uk/services/national-data-opt-out-programme(https://digital.nhs.uk/services/national-data-opt-out-programme).
