Personal information we hold about you includes any information that identifies you (e.g. name, address, phone number etc). If you provide other information it may also include personal information which relates to specific topics which are thought to be more privacy sensitive (e.g. information about your health, your gender, etc). 

You can find more details about the type of information we hold about you in “What personal information we use and how long we keep it ” see  below.

By providing your personal data to us (whether via our website, by message, by email, in person or over the phone), you agree to the processing set out in this Privacy notice.

How you can access and correct your personal information

 

How you can correct or rectify your personal information

In order to conduct our business it is important that we have accurate and complete information about you. We encourage you to notify us of any changes regarding your personal information, as mentioned just below.

You can also contact us at Healthera  Limited , St John’s Innovation Centre, Cowley Road  Cambridge, United Kingdom CB4 0WS or email us at support@healthera.co.uk.

How you can access your personal information and exercise your rights

Subject to certain conditions, you have the right to request access to the personal information that we hold about you. This is commonly called a “data subject access request” or in its abbreviated form, a “DSAR”.

If possible, you should specify the type of information you would like to see to ensure that our disclosure meets your expectations. We must be able to verify your identity. Your request shall not impact the rights and freedoms of other people, e.g. privacy and confidentiality rights of other individuals.

In addition to your right to request access to or rectification of the personal information we hold about you, you’ll have the right, under certain circumstances, to make a request to:

  • restrict or object to the processing of the personal information we hold about you (see Note1)
  • erase your personal information (see Note1)
  • receive personal information about you that you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format where we use it with your consent (‘right to data portability’)(see Note2)
  • withdraw your consent for us to process your personal information, where based on consent (see Note3)

Note1:  It is important to note that your request to restrict or object to processing, or erase your personal information doesn’t automatically lead to a requirement for the processing to stop, or for your personal information to be deleted. For instance, we may not be in a position to erase your personal data, if for example, we need it to (i) comply with a legal obligation, or (ii) exercise or defend legal claims.

Note2:  In addition, the right to data portability only applies in certain circumstances such as where the processing relies on consent.

Note3:  If you do decide to withdraw your consent we will stop processing your personal information for that purpose going forward, unless there is another lawful basis we rely on – in which case, we will let you know.

To make a request under these rights you can:
