Looking after your Personal Information

 

From May 25 2018 there has been a new set of regulations that ensure that all of our personal information is protected.  

 

The General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) replaces the old Data Protection Act of 1998 and brings the regulations up to date and help protect our personal information from our ever expanding digital footprint.

 

Our Data Protection Promise:

​

As ‘Data Controllers’ of your personal data, we take our role in the protection of your data very seriously.  As such, we promise to:

 

1. Only collect data from you that is relevant to your physiotherapy treatment.

 

2. Not pass on your personal data to any third-parties for marketing purposes.

 

3. Contact you and get your consent if we need to communicate with other health professionals (such as your doctor) about your care.

 

4. Use Private Practice Software to store your personal information, physiotherapy notes and associated records. This means your information is well protected from theft or unauthorised access.  Full details of this security is available at www.rushcliff.com/hosted.php

 

5. We maintain registration with the Information Commissioner’s Office, the UK’s independent body set up to uphold information rights.  www.ico.org.uk
