What is personal data?

Personal data is any information that is related to a person that can be either directly or indirectly identified, i.e. any information related to you like your name, surname or address. We will call this type of information ‘data’. Your images, reports and test results are also part of your personal data, but are a bit more specific, therefore we might call it “patient data”.

The types of data we collect and use, may include:

If you are employed by London Pregnancy Clinic we will also hold and process other information relating to your employment (You can obtain a copy of the Employee Privacy Notice from our Head of Staff).

If you are a Consultant/Doctor/Midwife or other healthcare provider, not employed by London Pregnancy Clinic, we might still hold and process your information relating to the clinical services you carry out (you can obtain further information from our Privacy manager).

  • Your name, address, email address, home and/or mobile telephone numbers;
  • Your previous and current medical health records whether provided by you, by us or third parties on your behalf. This data may include Visual images/scans, where ultrasound scan is used as part of our services;
  • Your bank details, or the details of the company or individual responsible for paying invoices or bills relating to your care (for example an insurer, sponsor or guarantor). All payments are made through our payment service provider, Stripe. Stripe holds your card details; we hold only the payment amount, your appointment reference and a secure token that stands in for your card, and from which your card number cannot be worked out. We never hold your full card number;
  • Information about your marital status, next of kin and nominated or emergency contacts;
  • Information about your nationality and entitlement to treatment in the UK in case you come from abroad;
  • Information about medical or health conditions, including whether or not you have a disability for which the organisation needs to make reasonable adjustments;
  • Information about medical or health conditions of your family;
  • Information received in response to any surveys, complaints, claims;
  • Date of birth;
  • Information about how you use our website.

When do we collect your data?

We collect it when you:

  • fill in forms and medical questionnaires on our website and/or in the Centre
  • order diagnostic and screening services from us
  • report a problem with our site
  • contact our customer support team (we make a record of this)
  • take part in a voluntary research survey
  • subscribe to a specific newsletter
  • write a review about our service

We will tell you if providing some personal data is optional, including if we ask for your consent to process it. In all other cases, we need you to provide your personal data so we can provide care and treatment to you and receive payment for these services.

We will collect most of this directly during the registration process but there may be sources of personal data collected indirectly as set out later in this document.

Data we receive from other sources.

We are working with third parties such as sub-contractors in medical, technical, payment and delivery services, advertising networks, analytics providers, search information providers and credit reference agencies which may give us information about you.

Your medical service provider, e.g. your GP, may give us information about you.

If you use our test kits service, we will be sent your test results by the laboratory we are working with.

Data we collect from your computer, mobile phone or other device

When you use London Pregnancy Clinic website, (and our advertisers and/or other similar services described in the paragraph ‘who do we share your data with’) we may collect information about how you use our website. This lets us improve our site to give you an even better experience. Types of information we collect include:

  • technical device information
  • the device you use (for example Apple, Samsung, Asus)
  • network information (for example 3 network, BT Broadband)
  • your IP address and HTTP referrer information your location (UK or outside)
  • your login information (this only concerns your account, once you have created it) this is for when we start linking images to our website
  • the browser type you are using (for example Chrome, Safari, IE)
  • your time zone (for example GMT, EST)

Information about your visit to our website

  • Services you looked at or searched for
  • How long it took for content to load and download, the length of time you spent on certain pages, how you browse away from the page, and how you interact with our site (scrolling, clicks, and mouse-overs)

Cookies, pixels and other similar technologies

Cookies are small pieces of information that are stored on your computer, mobile phone or other device. We use them to get to know you better and to improve our service.

Your cookie choice is stored on your own device, not in your patient record, and it applies to every page of this website. To review or change it, use the “Cookie settings” link in the footer. It also applies to our online booking pages at book.londonpregnancy.com, so they respect the same choice.

Advertising measurement. If you reach our site from a Google advert, the advert's click reference stays in the page address while you browse our site; it is not saved on your device unless you accept marketing cookies.

If you have accepted marketing cookies and then book online, our booking system keeps that reference with your booking and tells Google Ads that a booking of that value was made, so we can see which adverts work. We never send Google your name, email address, phone number, the service you booked or any health information.

If you have not accepted marketing cookies, the reference is not passed to our booking system; only the fact that a visit came from an advert is counted.

We use your personal information to:

  • comply with any applicable law, regulation, legal process or public authorities request

Who do we share your data with?

We work with trusted professionals to bring you safe, convenient healthcare.

This means sharing your personal and medical data with doctors and a limited number of persons at London Pregnancy Clinic. For instance, our customer support team needs to access your data to assist you.

Other healthcare providers including your General Practitioner (GP), where we believe this will enhance the quality of your care, will receive your personal data. Let us know if you do not wish us to share information with your GP.

We may share your personal data with our sub-contractors and other persons who help us provide services to you, e.g. Trice, the automated medical images management provider and specialised cloud service: https://triceimaging.com/.

It also means sharing your data with third parties to deliver our service to you such as hospitals, laboratories, or payment providers or for other purposes described below.

Our nominated NIPT test providers, the Doctors Laboratory Limited (“TDL”), will also need access to your details to provide you with the results of your tests: https://tdlpathology.com/about-tdl/terms-and-conditions/ .

For your payments we use automated payment service provider Stripe. Stripe holds your card details in its own secure systems; the London Pregnancy Clinic does not.

If you book by paying a deposit, Stripe keeps your card on file and gives us a secure token, so that we can ask Stripe to take the further payments you agreed to when you booked: the balance of your appointment price, any £30 evening, weekend or bank holiday surcharge, and any cancellation or no-show fee.

We hold only that token, the payment amount and your appointment reference, never your full card number. We keep them for as long as we need them for your booking and for our accounting and tax records, and our legal basis is performance of our contract with you. You can ask us to remove your saved card at any time by emailing info@londonpregnancy.

com; removing it does not affect payments already taken, or any amount you still owe, which you can pay by another method. The payment section of our Terms and Conditions explains this in full. You can find more information about Stripe here: https://stripe.com/gb/privacy

Rest assured, we only share information that is absolutely necessary, and we go to great lengths to make sure everyone we work with takes your privacy as seriously as we do.

To deliver our service to you, we are working with third parties to:

  • provide you with the required blood tests
  • send you emails, post and SMS about your visit/s, reports or results of your tests
  • have your test kits analysed
  • process payment
  • store your data securely

To help us improve our services and for marketing reasons, we use third party products and services to:

  • collect and analyse information about the use of our website
  • send marketing emails to you
  • collect reviews of our services

If you’d rather we didn’t use your data for marketing reasons, you can unsubscribe by sending us email to info@londonpregnancy.com or a letter to 1st Floor, 36 Spital Square London E1 6DY, or by clicking the unsubscribe link at the bottom of our emails.

Please note that when you subscribe to notifications such as newsletters, discounts, or other offers directly on our website, you can only unsubscribe via the unsubscribe link enclosed in the email.

So that we can get your reports, images or tests to you safely and securely, you will not be able to unsubscribe from our service emails (emails relating to your diagnostics services).

Finally, we may need to share your information for legal reasons:

  • should we sell or buy any business or assets, we may need to share your data with the future seller or buyer
  • if we are asked to share your personal data as a result of a court order, legal processing or any other legal obligation
  • to protect the rights, property, or safety of London Pregnancy Clinic, our patients, suppliers and partners, or others. This includes exchanging information for fraud protection, reducing credit risk and verifying your identity by a third-party provider

If you follow a link, please be aware that every website has its own privacy notice, which London Pregnancy Clinic has no responsibility or liability for. Please check their privacy notice before you send any personal data to these websites.

The table below lists the third-party services we use to run the clinic, what each one does, the data it handles, and where it is based.

How long do we hold your data for?

We only hold your personal data for as long as it is necessary or in consistence with the legal requirements.

We are required to keep clinical records for a set period. Following the Records Management Code of Practice for Health and Social Care, we keep maternity records (including your antenatal scans) for 25 years after the birth of your last child, and other adult clinical records — gynaecology, fertility, GP and genetics — for 8 years after your last appointment. Records for a patient under 18 are kept until their 25th birthday.

We have an internal retention policy in place which sets out how we use your data, other than patient data (delivery of services, marketing, improvement of our service), which includes the associated retention periods. For example, for marketing purposes, we only keep your data while you give your consent to receive communications from us.

We keep anonymous data about our patients for an indefinite period of time. This type does not contain personal information that could be used to identify you.

Differential retention requirements will require differential storage periods and capacity.

When we are to delete your data, we fully abide by the duty to ensure confidentiality is maintained during the destruction of health records, including when the task is given to a third-party contractor.

Where is your data stored and how do we keep it secure?

Any medical data you give us is stored safely on a private database. This database is only used by our doctors, customer support team, and a small number of other employees on a need-to-know basis, such as IT support. This platform is hosted on our servers or third party’s server, based in the EU. These providers are ISO 27001 certified which is the international standard that describes best practice for information security management.

Our promise

Although we do everything we can to protect your personal data, sending information over the internet is never completely secure.

If you know of any security problem, please tell us as soon as possible.

  • Our security measures protect you against unauthorised access, changes, disclosure, or destruction of your data.
  • We regularly review our security measures, including how we collect, process and store data. Part of this means encrypting data and putting in place physical and organisational security measures to protect our storage systems.
  • Your payment transaction and your personal data are encrypted using SSL technology
  • Every member of our staff signs and agrees to a confidentiality agreement when they start working for us and are trained on data-protection regulations.
  • Access to your data is only given to employees on a need-to-know basis.
  • All our suppliers have to abide to privacy undertakings, in accordance with the applicable data protection laws and regulations.
  • Some countries may not offer the same level of personal data protection as in the EEA in which case we will have a specific agreement with our suppliers to ensure adequate safeguards are in place for transferring data, that meet the standards of the EU model.

What are your rights?

Note that you do not have the option to unsubscribe of the emails regarding the provision of our services to you as this is necessary to provide you with such services.

Such data cannot therefore be deleted but, if you want to stop using our services, you can ask us to suspend your account by writing to us.

You can also exercise some other rights at any time by contacting us, noting that not all of them apply in all circumstances. Our contact details are at the end of this notice.

To exercise any of these rights, email info@londonpregnancy.com or write to us at the address in “Contact details” below. We will not charge you, and we will respond within one month.

If you are unhappy with how we have handled your personal data, please tell us first so we can put it right. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), the UK supervisory authority for data protection: ico.org.uk, or 0303 123 1113.

  • The right to be informed about how we process your personal data — this notice
  • The right of access — to ask for a copy of the personal data we hold about you (a “subject access request”). We respond within one month
  • Correcting your personal data if it is inaccurate, and having incomplete data completed
  • The right to erasure — to ask us to delete your data. This is limited for clinical records, which we are legally required to retain
  • The right to restrict processing — to ask us to pause how we use your data while a query is resolved
  • The right to data portability — to receive the data you gave us in a portable format, or have it sent to another provider
  • The right to object to processing, including the right to ask us not to use your personal data for marketing. You can tell us at any time by emailing info@londonpregnancy.com
  • The right to withdraw consent at any time, where we rely on your consent — including your cookie choices, which you can change whenever you like
  • Rights relating to automated decision-making and profiling. We do not make any decision about your care by automated means

Use of CCTV in the Clinic’s Waiting Room/Reception

At London Pregnancy Clinic, we are committed to protecting and respecting your privacy. In accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the UK’s Data Protection Act 2018, we provide this Privacy Notice to explain our use of CCTV systems in our common areas.

Purpose of CCTV

We use CCTV in the common areas of the clinic to:

Ensure the safety and security of all patients, staff, and visitors.

Protect our premises from theft, vandalism, and other criminal activities.

Assist law enforcement agencies in the prevention, detection, and prosecution of crime.

Legal Basis for Processing

The legal basis for processing this data is in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR – ‘processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party.’ Our legitimate interest is the provision of safety and security.

Data Collected

Our CCTV systems capture visual footage. This data does not include sound and we do not use it for any other purposes, such as profiling or marketing.

Retention Period

CCTV footage will be stored securely and will be retained for 30 days, unless it is required for an ongoing investigation, legal proceedings, or for the prevention or detection of crime.

Data Sharing

We will only share CCTV footage if we are required to do so by law, for example, to law enforcement or regulatory bodies.

Data Protection

We have implemented strong security measures to protect your data. Access to CCTV footage is limited to authorised personnel only.

Your Rights

Under GDPR, you have the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of your personal data, object to processing, and request data portability. If you believe your data has been processed unlawfully, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the UK’s Information Commissioner’s Office.

Please note that where a request for access impacts on the privacy of others or if you request information relating to a criminal investigation, certain restrictions may apply.

Contact

If you have any questions about this Privacy Notice or our use of CCTV, please contact our Data Protection Officer at info@londonpregnancy.com or write to us at 1st Floor, 36 Spital Square, London E1 6DY.
