In line with the GDPR data protection regulations introduced in May 2018 we are legally obligated to provide you with a copy of our privacy policy which details how we collect and store your data. Should you have any queries you can direct them to our data protection officer whose contact details are listed below.
Under data protection law you, as a client of MySkincare, have specific rights. To communicate these rights to you in a clear and concise manner, we are providing you with this privacy notice.
As we record and use sensitive data we take the protection of this data very seriously. We have therefore appointed a Data Protection Officer, who is your first point of contact for any matters regarding your personal data we process. They can be contacted the number above; or via email address: hello@myskincare.ie.
Personal data is defined by the General Data Protection Regulation (EU Regulation 2016/679) (the “GDPR”) as ‘any information relating to an identifiable person who can be directly or indirectly identified in particular by reference to an identifier’.
Personal data is, in simpler terms, any information about you that enables you to be identified. Personal data covers obvious information such as your name and contact details, but it also covers less obvious information such as identification numbers, electronic location data, and other online identifiers.
We record and use the following categories of personal data: name, address, telephone numbers, email address, date of birth, health information including medical history, diagnosis and treatment data. Our lawful basis of processing this data is one of contract and, for the health information, the provision of health-related services. In addition, we will only examine or treat you with your explicit consent.
Whilst you are receiving treatment from our clinic we will continue to store and use your personal data. Once you have completed treatment with the skin clinic, we will not keep your personal data for any longer than is necessary in light of the reason(s) for which it was first collected.
As we process your personal data, you have certain rights. These are a right of access, a right of rectification, a right of erasure and a right to restrict processing.
You may request a copy of your data at any time. Please make such a request in writing or by email to the Data Protection Officer, whose details are shown above. Please provide the following information: your name, address, telephone number, email address and details of the information you require. We will need to verify your identity so we may ask for a copy of your passport, driving license and/or recent utility bill.
If you believe any of the personal data we hold on you is inaccurate or incomplete, please contact the clinic directly and any necessary corrections to your data will be made promptly. If you believe we should erase your data, please contact the Data Protection Officer, whose details are shown above. If you wish us to stop storing or using your data, please contact the Data Protection Officer, whose details are shown above.
Should your personal data that we control be lost, stolen or otherwise breached, where this constitutes a high risk to your rights and freedoms, we will contact you without delay. We will give you the contact details of the Data Protection Officer who is dealing with the breach, explain to you the nature of the breach and the steps we are taking to deal with it.
