Introduction


JointCare™  is provided by JointCare™ Health Limited, a company registered in England with company number 13570992 and registered office HigherSites, Birches Corner, Heron Gate, Taunton, United Kingdom, TA1 2LP. This document refers to personal data, which is defined as information concerning any living person (a natural person who hereafter will be called the ‘Data Subject’) who is not already in the public domain.

The Data Protection Act (DPA), Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which is EU-wide and far more extensive, seek to protect and enhance the rights of data subjects. These rights cover the safeguarding of personal data, protection against the unlawful processing of personal data and the unrestricted movement of personal data within the EU. It should be noted that GDPR does not apply to information already in the public domain such as Companies House data.

JointCare Health Limited (JointCare™) is pleased to provide the following GDPR information:
 


Who we are:


JointCare™ is a self-recording, scheduling and treatment programming service for individual management of data regarding medical conditions.
 

Personal data:


JointCare™ acts on behalf of its clients in the capacity of data processor. When working exclusively as a data processor, JointCare™ will be acting on the instruction of its client (in this case, you), the data owner, and will aim to ensure that the client is fully GDPR compliant.

Some personal data may be collected about you from forms and surveys that you, or others at your invitation, complete; and from details of your use of our JointCare™ app and website, including but not limited to personally identifiable information such as Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. JointCare™ may from time to time use such information to identify its visitors. JointCare™ may also collect statistics about the behaviour of visitors to its website along with transaction information collected in the process of performing its business.

JointCare's™ website uses cookies, which are strings of information that a website stores on a visitor’s computer, and that the visitor’s browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns. JointCare™ website visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using JointCare's™ website.

Any information that JointCare™ holds about you and your business encompasses all the details we hold about you and any third-party information that we have obtained about you from clinicians that you might invite to use your app with you.

JointCare™ will only collect the information needed so that it can provide you with its services. JointCare™ does not sell or broker your data.
 
Legal basis for processing any personal data:
To meet JointCare's™ contractual obligations to clients and to conform to relevant legal obligations they have.


Legitimate interests pursued by JointCare™ and/or its clients:

To disseminate the services offered by JointCare™.
 

Consent:


By registering with or using the JointCare™ website, jointcare.uk or the JointCare™ app, or supplying data or information through the app or on the website, or otherwise accessing or using the JointCare™ service, you acknowledge that you are aware of and consent to the collection, use and transfer of the relevant data and your personal data under the terms of this privacy notice.

By thereby agreeing to this privacy notice, you are consenting to JointCare's™ processing your personal data for the purposes described. You can withdraw consent at any time by emailing [email protected]; by phoning +44 (0) 1823 444442; or by writing to us.  See last section for full contact details.

If you use the “invite a clinician or clinicians” function to share your records on the JointCare™ app or your website account, any health information you wish to add to your clinical or medical records will be passed securely to your clinician(s). Your clinician(s) may consider it advisable to suggest to you that other clinicians in their specialist team also have access to your JointCare™ data in order to be able to provide you with the best medical attention they can offer.  In such a case, the clinician you invited may send you a list of other doctors, nurses or other qualified practitioners for you to accept or deny as part of that data sharing team.  You will always have final say in who may access your records and have the right to delete any team member if you should so wish.  All invited or confirmed clinicians are then also responsible for this medical data as data processors and under the conditions of their clinical licenses to practise.  By using the “invite a clinician or clinicians” function, you agree that If your invited clinician(s) work within the NHS or a private medical organisation, any JointCare™ data that they consider beneficial to your medical care may be added by them to your NHS or private medical facility’s medical records.

Disclosure:


JointCare™ does not broker or pass on information gained from your engagement with the service without your consent. However, JointCare® may disclose your Personal Information to meet legal obligations, regulations, or valid governmental requests. JointCare™ may also enforce its Terms and Conditions, including investigating potential violations of its Terms and Conditions; or to protect against imminent harm to the rights, property, or safety of JointCare™, its clients and/or the wider community.
 

Retention policy:


JointCare™ will process personal data during any period of your usage and will continue to store only the personal data needed to meet any legal obligations for seven years after the usage has expired. After seven years, any personal data not needed will be deleted.
