We collect Personal Information in a number of ways. The most common ways we collect your Personal Information are:
The purposes for which We use and disclose Personal Information will depend on the circumstances in which We collect it. Whenever practical we endeavour to inform You of why We are collecting your Personal Information, how We intend to use that information and to whom we intend to disclose it.
Some of the common reasons for Us using or disclosing Personal Information include:
We may use Your Personal Information to create data sets and reports that contain anonymised data that cannot be used to identify You. Anonymised data could be derived from Your Personal Information but is not considered Personal Information (as You cannot be identified from this data). We use such reports and data, and may disclose them to external parties, such as funding sources, for: statistical, analytical and reporting purposes; research; and for evaluating and enhancing the Site or improving the service. For example, We may aggregate part of Your Site usage data to calculate the percentage of users accessing a specific Site feature. We may produce reports that identify how many Members live in different geographical areas by using Your postal code along with that of other Members.
In the rare situation where We feel that You or someone else is at risk We may use Your Personal Information to escalate risk to the appropriate external support mechanisms. In this case, we may need to provide third-parties with Your Personal Information to provide You with the appropriate support. Of course, this decision will always be made with a considered approach by Our team of qualified Senior Clinicians.
The external support mechanism will need Your Personal Information to provide You with the appropriate support. External support mechanisms may include; the appropriate representative from Your commissioning body (such as Your university, college or employer), the organisation who referred You to Our service(s), Your GP and/or the emergency services.
We take all reasonable steps to require all third parties We share Personal Information with to respect the security of Your Personal Information and to treat it in accordance with the law.
Often We may need to share Your Personal Information with other service providers in order to facilitate the running of the Site. For example, third parties associated with hosting server co-locations. When this happens, We implement strict contractual agreements with such third parties. We do not allow Our third-party service providers to use Your Personal Information for their own purposes and only permit them to process Your Personal Information for specified purposes and in accordance with Our instructions.
Details of third parties that We share Your Personal Information with are set out in Our linked Page of Third Party sub-contractors.
We may disclose Your Personal Information to Our employees, and agents to administer Your membership and the services provided by Us now or in the future.
We may also disclose Your Personal Information to third parties:
This may include exchanging information with other companies and organisations such as the police, regulatory bodies or legal advisers for the purposes of security, risk reduction and fraud protection. For example, We may disclose Your Personal Information to the police in connection with any alleged criminal offence.
We may disclose Your Personal Information to third parties to whom We may choose to sell, transfer or merge parts of Our business or Our assets, but this will always be on a “need to know basis”. We may also seek to acquire other businesses or merge with them. If a change happens to Our business, then the new owners may use Your Personal Information in the same way as set out in this Privacy Policy.
Some of the third parties to whom we disclose your personal information may be located overseas. For example, we may disclose your personal information to external national or overseas facilities associated with hosting server co-locations and members of Our group located overseas. The countries in which these third parties are located will depend on the circumstances. However, in the course of our ordinary business operations we may disclose personal information to employees, third parties or contractors located in the United Kingdom, the European Economic Area, Canada, New Zealand and United States.
