What is a Privacy Notice?
A privacy notice is a statement that describes how the CCGs collect, use, retain and disclose personal information. Different organisations sometimes use different terms and it can be referred to as a privacy statement, a fair processing notice or a privacy policy.
To ensure that we process your personal data fairly and lawfully we are required to inform you:
- Why we need your data
- How it will be used, and
- Who it will be shared with
This information also explains what rights you have to control how we use your information.
The law determines how organisations can use personal information. The key laws are: the Data Protection Act 2018 (DPA), the Human Rights Act 1998 (HRA), and the common law duty of confidentiality.
Within these pages we describe instances where the CCGs are the “Data Controllers” for the purposes of the Data Protection Act 2018, and where we direct or commission the processing of patient data to help deliver better healthcare, or to assist the management of healthcare services.
The CCGs recognise the importance of protecting personal and confidential information in all that we do, all we direct or commission, and take care to meet our legal duties.
This part of the fair processing notice outlines the management of the notice, contact details and other access to information legislation.
