Do we share your personal information with anyone else?

We will only ever share your information with third parties in the ways that are described in this privacy policy. If you would like to find out more about how those third parties listed in this privacy policy use your information, this should be set out in their respective privacy policies accessible on their websites.

Personnel, Suppliers and Subcontractors

We keep your information confidential, but may disclose it to our personnel (including personnel in our group companies), suppliers or subcontractors (including our cloud-based data processing, data analytics and payment service providers) insofar as it is reasonably necessary for the purposes set out in this privacy policy, provided that they do not make independent use of the information and have agreed to adhere to the rules set out in this privacy policy. In some instances, this data sharing may involve the transfer of information outside the EU.

By group company, we mean our subsidiaries, our ultimate holding company and its subsidiaries, as defined with reference to the definitions of “holding undertaking” and “subsidiary undertaking” in section 1162 of the UK Companies Act 2006.

We will not pass your information on to third parties for marketing purposes unless you have provided your consent, in which event the advertisements that appear when you visit our Website will be targeted to provide you with more relevant advertising content and you may receive communications from third parties offering similar or related services to us.

Your choices and rights in relation to personal data which we process relating to you

You have the following rights over the way we process personal data relating to you. We aim to comply without undue delay, and within one month at the latest:

• to ask for a copy of data we are processing about you and have inaccuracies corrected;
• to ask us to restrict, stop processing, or to delete your personal data;
• to request a machine readable copy of your personal data, which you can use with another service provider. Where it is technically feasible, you can ask us to send this information directly to another provider if you prefer; and
• to make a complaint to a data protection regulator. You may contact them at: https://ico.org.uk/concerns/

To make a request in relation to any of the aforementioned rights, please email us at info@mydoctorsrecipe.com.

You are under no statutory or contractual obligation to provide any of your personal data to us. However, if you do not provide the personal information requested, we will not be able to provide you with the services that we offer.

If you are unhappy with the way that we are processing your personal data, please let us know. The best way to bring this to our attention is by emailing us at hello@mydoctorsrecipe.com.

Security

We will take commercially reasonable, appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk that could be encountered via the use of our Website and services, taking into account the likelihood and severity those risks might pose to the rights and freedoms of our customers and other individuals who might be impacted.

In particular, we will take precautions to protect against the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, or alteration, and unauthorised disclosure of or access to the personal data transmitted, stored or otherwise processed by us.

Please be aware that, while we make the security of our Website and your personal information a high priority and we devote considerable time and resources to implementing and maintaining robust information technology security, no security system can prevent all security breaches. By choosing to share your personal information with us, you accept the aforesaid and provide your information at your own risk.

Retention

In accordance with data protection laws and good commercial practice, we do not retain data in a form that permits identification of the person(s) to whom it relates for any longer than is necessary. Once the purpose for which information has been collected has been fulfilled, we will either permanently delete your personal information or remove all identifiers within it so that it is no longer personal data. We may use such anonymised data for research and/or business analysis purposes.

Where you have provided us with personal information in order to set up an account with us, we will retain those details for as long as your account remains active. This means if you delete your account with us, we will delete your personal data associated with your account.

Where we obtain your personal data in relation to the use or purchase of our services or products, including VAT or invoicing information, we are obligated by law to keep this for a minimum of 6 years.

Where you upload any user generated content, such as demos and reviews or join interactive conversations hosted via our Website, this content will be kept on our servers (or those of our third party service providers) for 6 months from the date that you upload it on our Website and deleted thereafter unless otherwise notified.
