CARLISLE HOUSE DATA PRIVACY NOTICE JUNE 2019

PERSONAL DATA

 

Personal data is any information relating to a living individual who can be identified from that data.  Identification can be by the information alone or in conjunction with any other information in the data controller’s possession or likely to come into such possession. The processing of personal data is governed by the General Data Protection Regulation (the “GDPR”).

 

  1. Data Controller?

 

We, Carlisle House, are the data controller. This means that we decide how your personal data is processed and for what purposes.

 

  1. How do we process your personal data?

 

We comply with our obligations under the “GDPR” by keeping personal data up to date; by storing and destroying it securely; by not collecting or retaining excessive amounts of data; by protecting personal data from loss, misuse, unauthorised access and disclosure and by ensuring that appropriate technical measures are in place to protect personal data.

 

Our primary purpose for collecting personal information is to ensure that those engaging with Carlisle House receive the best level of service possible.

 

We use your personal data for the following purposes: –

 

  • To enable us to accept your referral onto the residential therapeutic treatment programme for a period of 6 weeks.
  • To administer your records
  • To fundraise and promote the interests of Carlisle House
  • To manage our employees and volunteers
  • To maintain our own accounts and records
  • To inform you of news, events, activities and services organised by Carlisle House

 

  1. What is the legal basis for processing your personal data?

 

This is dependent upon the data subject and the purpose of the data processing.

 

The data processing for an employee in terms of what data is collected and how it is further processed is different from that of a Service User

 

Legal bases we rely on will primarily consist of one or more of the following:

 

  • Processing is necessary for the purposes of LEGITIMATE INTERESTS pursued by us or a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests, rights or freedoms of the data subject. This is where we need to use your data to engage in our normal day to day activities.

Examples of these are:

 

  • Name, Address, Contact details
  • Next of Kin Contact details
  • Referral Assessment Information
  • Safety Assessment Information
  • Health and Medication Records
  • Treatment Plans
  • Alcohol and Drug Screening Results

Employment information e.g. current and past employment, work related issues, job demands, next of Kin contact details, training details etc…

 

  • Explicit consent of the data subject. An example of this would be your consent to joining a mailing list so that we can keep you informed about news, events, activities and services.
  • Processing is necessary for us to comply with the law. Examples of this could be our legal obligations to maintain certain records so that we may carry out our obligations under employment, social security or social protection law, or a collective agreement.
  • Processing is necessary for us to protect the vital interests of a data subject that cannot physically or legally give consent.

 

  1. Sharing your personal data

 

Your personal data will be treated as strictly confidential. We will not normally share your personal data with any third party and will only share your data with third parties outside of ourselves with your consent.

 

However there are limitations to this confidentiality, known as PUBLIC INTEREST.  We are legally required to pass on information if you tell us of any the following:

  • If you are at risk of harming yourself or someone else.
  • If a child is at risk.
  • If a crime has been committed that has not been reported.

In any of these circumstances when we pass the information onto the relevant organisations, we will try to do so with your consent.

 

Where we use other organisations to provide a service (such as cloud storage) they are only selected if they are GDPR compliant, and they will only use your data as instructed by us.

 

 

  1. How long do we keep your personal data?

     

We will retain Service User’s personal data for 8 years after the year to which the data relates, as agreed with the Regulation Quality Improvement Authority. All personal data will be destroyed at this point.

 

Employee personal data will be destroyed after one calendar year following their termination of employment. 

 

 

  1. Your rights and your personal data

 

Unless subject to an exemption under the GDPR, you have the following rights with respect to your personal data:

 

  • The right to request a copy of your personal data which we hold about you
  • The right to request that we correct any personal data if it is found to be inaccurate or out of date
  • The right to request your personal data is erased where it is no longer necessary for us to retain such data
  • The right to withdraw your consent to the processing at any time
  • The right to request that the data controller provide the data subject with his/her personal data and where possible, to transmit that data directly to another data controller
  • The right, where there is a dispute in relation to the accuracy or processing of your personal data, to request a restriction is placed on further processing
  • The right to object to the processing of personal data
  • The right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office.

 

  1. Further processing

 

If we wish to use your personal data for a new purpose, not covered by this Data Privacy Notice, then we will provide you with a new notice explaining this new use prior to commencing the processing and setting out the relevant purposes and processing conditions. Where and whenever necessary, we will seek your prior consent to the new processing.

 

  1. Contact Details

In an attempt to ensure this privacy statement is clear and concise, it does not provide exhaustive detail of every aspect of how we collect or use your personal data. If you require further information, and to exercise all relevant rights, queries or complaints contact the Data Protection Lead at:
