How we utilize your information

We utilize the information that we collect from you, or that you provide to us, including personal information, for various purposes. These purposes include presenting our Services to you; providing you with information, products, or services that you have requested; fulfilling any other purpose for which you have provided us with your information; sending you notices related to your account/subscription, such as renewal and expiration notices; carrying out our obligations and enforcing our rights under any contracts between you and us, including billing and collection; complying with legal obligations; or for any other purpose with your consent.

If you are a resident of the Unites Kingdom (UK) or European Union (EU), we will collect and use your personal data only if we have one or more legal bases for doing so under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This means that we collect and use your personal data only in the following circumstances: where you have given your consent for one or more specific purposes; it is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third party), and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests; it is necessary to protect the vital interests of you or another natural person; or it is necessary to comply with a legal obligation.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

In accordance with GDPR, we adhere to strict guidelines regarding the use of information that may identify you. We only process personal data if there is a legitimate basis for doing so and the processing is fair and lawful. As a health sector organization, we are bound by the common law duty of confidence, meaning any identifiable information given to us in confidence will be treated as confidential and only shared for the purpose of providing direct healthcare. We take measures to protect your information, inform you of its use, and give you control over its sharing. We keep the information we hold in secure locations, limit access to authorized personnel only, and encrypt personal and confidential data held on equipment such as laptops. We also ensure external data processors comply with legal and contractual obligations to operate and demonstrate security arrangements where data that could or does identify a person are processed.
