The information we collect

So that we can provide you with a range of services, we may collect personal information from this website.  We may for example, keep a record of your name, mailing address, email address, telephone number, personal preferences and any other information you provide to us or is collected by us.  We may supplement the information that you provide to us with information that we receive or obtain from other sources.

Disclosures of your information

We may disclose information about to third parties, where there may be a legal duty to do so or e.g. a legitimate interest.

Use of your information outside the European Economic Area

We may need to transfer your personal information to countries outside of the European Economic Area (EEA) which may not protect your personal information as extensively as the United Kingdom.  If we do so, then we will ensure that an agreement is in place with anyone to whom we give your information to ensure that your data is treated securely.

Security

We take security very seriously, and the technical and organisational controls that have been designed and implemented to protect personal information are tested regularly to ensure the right safety measures are in place to prohibit unauthorised access to data.

Links to other websites

We would like to note and raise the awareness that our site may link to other websites.  If you follow a link to any of these websites, then it must be noted that they will have their own privacy notice advising of how they process your data.  @MK18 Private Medical Practice does not accept any responsibility or liability for the privacy and security of such third-party websites.

Your rights to access personal information

You have the right to receive information about the personal data we hold about you by making a ‘subject access request’ under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).  If we hold information about you, we will: 

• Inform you why we are holding it

• Give you a description of the data

• Tell you who it could be disclosed to

• Provide you with a copy in an intelligible format

Under GDPR, the fee for accessing records has been lifted.  @MK18 Private Medical Practice however may apply a fee if the request is manifestly excessive.

Your Health and Social Care information
