If we combine personal data with non-personal data, the combined information will be treated as personal data for as long as it remains combined. Personal data does not include data where the identity has been removed (anonymous data).

We may collect and process the following data about you:

  • Data you give us (Submitted data). You may give us information by filling in forms in the INRstar Engage App, submitting your test results or any other data via your device(s) and/or component to be used for patient self-care (“PSC Device”) or by corresponding with us (for example, by email). This includes information you provide when you enter your shipping address for a PSC Device, register to use the INRstar Engage App, download the INRstar Engage App, subscribe to any of our Services, complete training exercises, participate in surveys, and when you report a problem with the INRstar Engage App or the Services. The information you give us may include your name, address, date of birth, NHS number, email address, mobile device telephone number, username, password and other registration information.

We work closely with third parties such as clinicians and other healthcare professionals, suppliers of PSC Devices, courier services and support services as well as have access to publicly available sources. Where necessary, we will notify you when we receive data about you from them and the purposes for which we intend to use that data.

WHERE WE STORE YOUR PERSONAL DATA

Some of the third parties which we work closely with are based outside of the EEA so their processing of your personal data will involve a transfer of data outside of the EEA.

Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the EEA, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:

  • we will only transfer your personal data to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data by the European Commission;

  • where we use certain service providers, we may use specific contracts approved by the European Commission which give personal data the same protection it has in Europe;

  • where we use providers based in the US, we may transfer data to them with the adequate safeguards under Article 46 of General Data Protection Regulations ((EU) 2016/679) that provides similar protection to personal data shared between the Europe and the US.

Please contact us if you want further information on the specific mechanism used by us when transferring your personal data out of the EEA.

Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password which enables you to access certain parts the INRstar Engage App, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share a password with anyone.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to the INRstar Engage App; any transmission is at your own risk.

Under Data Protection Legislation, in certain circumstances you have the following rights in relation to your personal data:

(a) Right to access. You have the right to request access to information held about you. We will provide you with a copy of your personal data held by us free of charge (providing your request is not excessive or for multiple copies, in which case we may charge a reasonable fee to cover our costs) and certain information about the processing of your personal data and the source of such data (if not directly collected from you by us). You also have the right to request that your personal data is transferred to a third party.

(b) Right to object to data processing. You may withdraw your consent to the processing of your personal data at any time by contacting us. Upon receipt of your notification, we shall promptly stop any processing of your personal data and (if requested by you) erase such information if we are not required to retain it for legitimate business or legal purposes.

(c) Right to restrict processing. You may ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following circumstances:

  • if you do not think your personal data is accurate;

  • where we are found to be processing unlawfully but you do not want us to erase your personal data;

  • where you need us to continue holding your personal data to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or
