Privacy Policy

UK Health Centre (“we”) are committed to safeguarding the privacy of our website visitors; this Notice sets out how we will treat your personal data when we act as the controller of that data and when its processing is governed by the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which came into force on 25th May 2018.

We use the term “personal data” to refer to any information collected or processed by, or in connection with, this website that directly, or indirectly, identifies you or factors specific to you, such as your name, IP address or user preferences.

Below we describe “lawful grounds” for processing your personal data. These lawful grounds (sometimes also referred to as “legal basis”) are the justification under GDPR for the processing of your personal data. If there are no lawful grounds for processing your personal data neither we nor anyone else is permitted to access or process your personal data.

If you are a website user, the lawful grounds for processing your Collected Information is our legitimate interest in understanding how users interact with this website, and to improve how we promote our products and services.

Data Protection Rights

You are entitled to have any inadequate, incomplete, or incorrect personal data corrected (that is, rectified).

You also have the right to request access to your personal data (including receiving a copy thereof) as well as additional information about how the data was processed.

If we ever process your personal data, with the lawful grounds of your consent, you have the right to withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

Furthermore, you are entitled to have your personal data erased under certain circumstances.

As of May 25, 2018, you also have the following additional rights:

Data portability – if ever we rely (as the lawful grounds for processing) upon your consent or the fact that the processing is necessary to perform a contract to which you are a party (such as making an enquiry), and the personal data is processed by automatic means, you have the right to receive all such personal data which you have provided us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, and also to require that it be transmitted to another controller where this is technically feasible.

Right to erasure – you are entitled to have your personal data erased under specific circumstances, such as where you have withdrawn your consent, where you object to processing based on legitimate interests and we have no overriding legitimate grounds or where personal data is unlawfully processed, provided that applicable law does not provide otherwise.

Right to restriction of processing – you have the right to restrict the processing of your personal data (that is, allow only its storage) where:

You contest the accuracy of the personal data, until we have taken sufficient steps to correct or verify its accuracy;

Where the processing is unlawful but you do not want us to erase the personal data;

Where we no longer need your personal data for the purposes of the processing, but you require such personal data for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims; or

Where you have objected to processing, justified on lawful grounds (see below), pending verification as to whether we have your permission to continue processing.

Where your personal data is subject to restriction we will only process it with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

Right to object to processing (including profiling) based on lawful grounds – where we rely upon legitimate interests to process personal data, you have the right to object to that processing. If you object, we must stop that processing unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that overrides your interests, rights and freedoms, or we need to process the personal data for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, or an applicable law requires otherwise.

Right to object to direct marketing (including profiling) – you have the right to object to our use of your personal data for direct marketing purposes (including profiling).

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority of your habitual residence, place of work or place of alleged infringement, if you consider that the processing of your personal data infringes an applicable law.

You may contact us if you wish to exercise any of your rights in respect of your personal data processed by this website or the platform. If you make a request, we have one month to respond to you.

Please contact us for any further information or to make a request.

Cookies

Like almost all commercial websites, UK Health Centre records statistical data and uses Cookies to improve site performance. A cookie is a text file sent by a web server to a web browser, and stored by that browser. The text file is then sent back to the server each time the browser requests a page from the server. This enables the web server to identify and track the web browser.

We may send one or more cookies which may be stored by your browser on your computer. The information we obtain from cookies is part of the Collected Information. Our advertisers and service providers may also send you cookies. Most browsers allow you to refuse to accept cookies. (For example, in Internet Explorer you can refuse all cookies by clicking “Tools”, “Internet Options”, “Privacy”, and selecting “Block all cookies” using the sliding selector.) This will, however, have a negative impact upon the usability of many websites, including this one. To improve our services and this site, we may retain third party service providers to operate this site and help us monitor, collect and analyze information regarding your interactions with this website and the data you input, including the use of such providers’ cookies on your computer. The UK Health Centre site logs certain statistical data such as; IP address, the type of operating systems used and browser types used. This statistical data is not connected to personal information and so user information is anonymous.

A Cookie allows websites to remember you, and it helps many of the features of the website to work better. We use Cookies to help our website load faster and to make it easier and faster for users to log in. These small packets of information are stored on your computer by your browser. Cookies help us learn about how people interact with our site and so we can make improvements based on the information.

We use Cookies to operate and personalise the website. They help us to track page views and conversion and also return visits from users over a period of time.

‘Third parties’ are approved partner websites and those Cookies can be used for things like measurement and reporting but may be also used to track your interests and to retarget you with advertising on other websites. We aim to be as transparent as possible around our use of Cookies so we've listed all the third parties we work with below.

Google Analytics is used to track general visitor interactions such as page views and conversion. We also use it for demographic and interest reporting and to understand our audience.

Most web browsers automatically accept Cookies. Your browser should tell you how to turn off the automatic acceptance of Cookies if you look through the settings options. This will almost certainly create issues when using the UK Health Centre site. Unless you have adjusted your browser setting so that it will refuse all Cookies, our system will issue Cookies when you visit our site.
