Purposes for which we use the information collected
Personal information about you will be used for the following purposes:
- in our day-to-day work;
- to send you our newsletter where you have requested it;
- to respond to any queries you may have;
- to improve the quality and safety of care.
This may include any personal information that you choose to share with us, but we will treat this as confidential and protect it accordingly. We will never include your personal information in survey reports.
Who we disclose the information to
In order to fulfil our remit, we may disclose the personal information that we obtain through this website to the Secretary of State for Health, Healthwatch England, the NHS England, Monitor and every local authority in England, and suppliers we engage to process personal information on our behalf.
However, we will only disclose your personal information where we have your consent to do so, or where there is another very good reason to make the disclosure – for example, we may disclose information to CQC or a local authority where we think it is necessary to do so in order to protect a vulnerable person from abuse or harm. Any such disclosure will be made in accordance with the requirements of the Data Protection Act 1998, and GDPR legislation (May 2018).
Wherever possible, we will ensure that any information that we share or disclose is anonymised, so as to ensure that you cannot be identified from it.
