Changes to our privacy policy and your duty to inform us of changes

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.

Use of cookies

Our website uses cookies. We use cookies to personalise content and ads, to provide social media features and to analyse our traffic. We also share information about your use of our site with our social media, advertising and analytics partners who may combine it with other information that you’ve provided to them or that they’ve collected from your use of their services. You consent to our cookies if you continue to use our website.

Cookies are small text files that can be used by websites to make a user's experience more efficient. The law states that we can store cookies on your device if they are strictly necessary for the operation of this site. For all other types of cookies, we need your permission. This site uses different types of cookies. Some cookies are placed by third party services that appear on our pages. You can at any time change or withdraw your consent from the Cookie Declaration on our website.

Organisational and Technical security Measures

We have appropriate organisational and technical security measures in place to prevent unauthorised access or unlawful processing of personal data and to prevent personal data being lost, destroyed or damaged. We currently store all personal data on our electronic health record WriteUpp which is ISO27001 compliant, on Office 365 for Business and on other cloud-based services such as Xero and Monday.com. We also currently store all your correspondence and documents on our secure hard drive. We continually audit our information systems to make sure that the ongoing security is robust.

Data retention

Any personal data you provide will be held for as long as is necessary having regard to the purpose for which it was collected and in accordance with all applicable data protection laws and/or appropriate guidance. We may retain your personal data for a longer period in the event of a complaint or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation in respect to our relationship with you.

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, regulatory, tax, accounting or other requirements.

In some circumstances you can ask us to delete your data: see your legal rights below for further information.

In some circumstances we will anonymise your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes, in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

We may disclose your personal data (to the extent necessary) to certain third-party organisations used to support the delivery of our services during our usual course of business. These may include the following:

business partners, suppliers and sub-contractors for the performance of services we provide to you.
organisations on whose premises we see you for your consultations. Please note that external organisations may be surveyed by CCTV for the purposes of security and the safe provision of care. Images and videos may be retained by them for a limited period.
organisations providing IT systems support and hosting in relation to the IT systems on which your information is stored.
third party debt collectors for the purposes of debt collection.
delivery companies for the purposes of transportation.
third party service providers for the purposes of storage of information and confidential destruction, third party marketing companies for the purpose of sending marketing emails, subject to obtaining appropriate consent.

Where a third-party data processor is used, we make sure that they operate under contractual restrictions with regard to confidentiality and security, in addition to their obligations under data protection laws.

We may also disclose your personal data to third parties in the event that we sell or buy any business or assets or where we are required by law to do so.

Sensitive personal data (including information relating to your health) will only be disclosed to third parties in accordance with this privacy policy. That includes third parties involved with your care, or in accordance with data protection laws and guidelines of appropriate professional bodies. Where applicable, it may be disclosed to any person or organisation who may be responsible for meeting your expenses or their agents. It may also be provided to external service providers and regulatory bodies (unless you object) for the purpose of clinical audit to ensure the highest standards of care and record keeping are maintained.

Clinical professionals working with us: We share clinical information about you with our clinical professionals (those health professionals involved in, or to be involved in your treatment or care, including, but not limited to, other medical and surgical specialists, nurses, allied health professionals (e.g. dieticians) and A&E) as we think necessary for your care. Clinical professionals working with us might be our employees, or they might be independent consultants in private practice. In the case of independent consultants, the consultant is the data controller of your personal data, either alone or jointly with us and will be required to maintain their own records in accordance with data protection laws and applicable clinical confidential guidelines and retention periods. In all circumstances, those individual consultants will only process your personal data for the purposes set out in this privacy policy or as otherwise notified to you.

Your GP: If the clinician providing your care believes it to be clinically advisable, we may also share information about your care with your GP. If your GP requests information regarding your care or copies of any relevant records then we may also share this information with them. You can ask us not to do this, in which case we will respect that request if we are legally permitted to do so, but you should be aware that it can be potentially very dangerous and/or detrimental to your health to deny your GP full information about your medical history, and we strongly advise against it.

Referring GP: in event that you were seen out-of-hours, out-of-area, or by a private GP, we may also share information about your care with your referring GP.

Your Insurer: We share with your medical insurer information about your treatment, its clinical necessity and its cost, only if they are paying for all or part of your treatment with us. We provide only the information to which they are entitled. If you raise a complaint or a claim, we may be required to share personal data with your medical insurer for the purposes of investigating any complaint/claim.

The NHS: If you are referred to us for care by the NHS, we will share the details of your treatment with the part of the NHS that referred you to us, as necessary to perform, process and report back on that care.

Healthcare and Clinical and other regulators: We may be requested – and in some cases can be required - to share certain information (including personal data and sensitive personal data) about you and your care with healthcare and clinical or other regulators such as the General Medical Council, the Health and Care Professions Council, the Care Quality Commission, the Multi-Agency Safeguarding Hub or the police. For example, if you make a complaint, or the conduct of a clinician involved in your treatment is alleged to have fallen below the appropriate standards and the regulator wishes to conduct an investigation. We will ensure that we do so within the framework of the law and with due respect for your privacy.

In an emergency and if you are incapacitated, we may also process your personal data (including sensitive personal data) or make personal data available to third parties on the basis of protecting your ‘vital interest’ (i.e. your life or your health).

We participate in national audits and initiatives to help ensure that patients are getting the best possible outcomes from their treatment and care. The highest standards of confidentiality will be applied to your personal data in accordance with data protection laws and confidentiality. Publishing of this data will be in a pseudonymised, statistical format. Anonymous, pseudonymous or aggregated data may be used by us, or disclosed to others, for research or statistical purposes.

You have the following rights in relation to your personal data

Right of access: the right to make a written request for details of your personal information and a copy of that personal information (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.
Right to rectification: the right to have inaccurate information about you corrected or removed. 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.
Right to erasure ('right to be forgotten'): the right to have certain personal information about you erased. 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.
Right to object to processing: the right to object to processing of your personal information in cases where our processing is based on the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or we have let you know the processing is necessary for our or a third party’s legitimate interest. 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.
Right to restriction of processing: the right to request that your personal information is only used for restricted purposes. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios:
- If you want us to establish the data's accuracy.
- Where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it.
- 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.
- You have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.
Right to data portability: the right to ask for the personal information you have made available to us to be transferred to you or a third party in machine-readable formats. 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.
Right to withdraw consent: the right to withdraw any consent you have previously given us to handle your personal information. If you withdraw your consent, this will not affect the lawfulness of Expert Court Reports Limited’s use of your personal information prior to the withdrawal of 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.
Right in relation to automated decisions: you have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you, unless it is necessary for entering into a contract with you, it is authorised by law or you have given your explicit consent. We will let you know when such decisions are made, the lawful grounds we rely on and the rights you have.

Please note: Your rights are not absolute: they do not always apply in all cases and we will let you know in our correspondence with you how and whether we will be able to comply with your request.

If you want to exercise your rights in respect of your personal data, the best way to do so is to contact us by email at office@drandrewiles.co.uk or to write to us for the attention of the data protection officer at the address below. In order to protect your privacy, we may ask you to prove your identity before we take any steps in response to such a request.

Office 2, 266 Banbury Road, Oxford, OX2 7DL

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 could 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 could 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.

Further process

If you are not satisfied with how we handle your request, you can contact the Information Commissioner’s Office on 0303 123 1113 or visit their website (https://www.ico.org.uk).
