How and Where Do You Store My Data?
We may store some or all of your personal data in countries that are not Section of the European Economic Area (the “EEA” consists of all EU member states, plus Norway, Iceland, and Liechtenstein). These are known as “third countries” and may not have data protection laws that are as strong as those in the UK and/or the EEA. This means that we will take additional steps in order to ensure that your personal data is treated just as safely and securely as it would be within the UK and under the GDPR as follows.
We use specific contracts with external third parties that are a specific contract with the external third party that is approved by the European Commission for the transfer of personal data to third countries. Contracts like this ensure the same levels of personal data protection that would apply under the GDPR. More information is available from the European Commission.
Personal data security is essential to us and to protect personal data, we take the following measures:
- In the practice, all patient information is stored on Cliniko (patient software package). Cliniko treat security of information as a priority. Data is backed up automatically and kept in ultra-secure facilities.

How Can I Access My Personal Data?
If you want to know what personal data we have about you, you can ask us for details of that personal data and for a copy of it (where any such personal data is held). This is known as a “subject access request”.
All subject access requests should be made in writing and sent to the email or postal addresses shown in Section 10. To make this as easy as possible for you, a Subject Access Request Form is available for you to use at: ico.org.uk
You do not have to use this form, but it is the easiest way to tell us everything we need to know to respond to your request as quickly as possible.
There is not normally any charge for a subject access request. If your request is ‘manifestly unfounded or excessive’ (for example, if you make repetitive requests) a fee may be charged to cover our administrative costs in responding.
We will respond to your subject access request within 28 days and, in any case, not more than one month of receiving it. Normally, we aim to provide a complete response, including a copy of your personal data within that time.
In some cases, however, particularly if your request is more complex, more time may be required up to a maximum of three months from the date we receive your request. You will be kept fully informed of our progress.
