- How do we collect personal information about you? We may collect information from the following sources:
- Directly from you
This is the information you (or an individual with authority to act on your behalf) has provided to us for the purposes set out in this Notice. It includes any information you provide to us when consulting with one of our clinicians, and when you interact with us by phone, email, web form or otherwise.
- Third-party sources (for Suppliers)
Where you are a Supplier, this will include information about you or your colleagues that is available through publicly available sources, such as professional networking sites (including LinkedIn) and general market research
- Automatically (Technical and Usage Data)
When you visit our Site, we collect certain Technical and Usage Data automatically from your device.
- Who do we share your personal information with? We may share your personal information with the following categories of third parties:
| Category | Description |
| Service providers | Our service providers are required to keep your personal information strictly confidential and are not allowed to use it for any other purpose than to carry out the services they are performing for us. |
| Professional advisors | We may disclose personal information to our professional advisers, such as lawyers, auditors, accountants, and insurers, if necessary, as part of the professional services they are performing. |
| Business transfers
Legal compliance |
When we acquire businesses or merge with them there is a possibility that we may share personal information with these companies as part of that process. In any event you will be informed if this happens and if it applies to you.
We may very occasionally be required to disclose some personal information as required to comply with the law. |
- Security and international data transfers 8.1 Security
We work tirelessly to safeguard the security and integrity of our Site and the systems we use to process your personal data. We have implemented widely accepted standards of
technology and operational security (having regard to the type and amount of personal data processed) to prevent personal information being accidentally lost or used or accessed in an unauthorised or unlawful way. However, it is generally understood that no method of electronic storage or transmission online is 100% secure. As a result, whilst we have implemented appropriate technical and organisational measures, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your personal data, or accept responsibility for any unauthorised access or loss of personal data that is beyond our control.
We limit access to your personal information to those who have a genuine business need to know it. Those processing your information will do so only in an authorised manner and are subject to a duty of confidentiality.
We also have procedures in place to deal with any suspected data security breach. We will notify you promptly in the event of any breach of your personal data which might expose you to serious risk.
8.2 International data transfers
Where personal information is shared and disclosed as set out above, these parties may be established outside the United Kingdom. For example, some of the service providers we use to support our services are based in the United States, and this involves a transfer of your personal information to the USA.
Whenever we transfer your personal information outside the United Kingdom, we ensure that a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring appropriate safeguards are implemented. This may include, where appropriate, relying on an adequacy decision or Standard Contractual Clauses.
To find out more information regarding the specific mechanism used by us when transferring your personal information outside the United Kingdom, please contact our Data Protection Officer at DPO@manual.co.
- Our use of cookies and similar technologies
We may use cookies and other information gathering technologies to learn more about how you interact with our Website. You can set your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies, or to alert you when websites set or access cookies. If you disable or refuse cookies, please note that some parts of our Site may become inaccessible or not function properly. Please see our Cookie Policy for more information about the cookies we use.
- Third-party links and services
This Website may include links to third-party websites, plug-ins, and applications. Clicking on those links or enabling those connections may allow third parties to collect or share data about you. We do not control these third-party websites and are not responsible for their privacy notices.
When you leave our website, we encourage you to read the privacy notice of every website you visit.
- How long will we keep your personal information?
We will only retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.
To determine the appropriate retention period for personal information, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal information, the purposes for which we process your personal information, and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.
- Marketing
If you receive marketing communications from us, you can ask us to stop sending you marketing messages at any time by following the unsubscribe links in any marketing message or by contacting our Data Protection Officer at DPO@manual.co.
Please note that opting out of marketing communications does not opt you out of receiving important service-related communications.
- Your rights
Subject to any exemptions provided by law, you may have the right to:
- Request access to your personal information (commonly known as a “data subject access request”) and to certain other supplementary information that this Notice is already designed to address.
- Request correction of the personal information we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate information we hold about you corrected.
- Request erasure of your personal information. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal information in certain circumstances. However, given the nature of our products and services, it will not always be possible for us to delete your data upon request as there may be valid legal reasons for us to continue processing it (for example, the need to retain medical records to comply with legal requirements). You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal information where you have exercised your right to object to processing (see below).
- Receive the personal information concerning you which you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format and have the right to transmit those data to a third party in certain situations.
- Object to processing of your personal information at any time for direct marketing purposes.
- Object to decisions being taken by automated means which produce legal effects concerning you or significantly affect you.
- Object in certain other situations to our continued processing of your personal information.
- Request the restriction of processing of your personal information. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of personal information about you, for example if you want us to establish its accuracy or the reason for processing it.
- Withdraw your consent to our processing of your personal information, where we have collected and processed it with your consent.
For more information, please refer to the appropriate data protection legislation or consult the Information Commissioner’s Office for guidance. If you would like to exercise any of these rights, please contact our Data Protection Officer at DPO@manual.co and let us have enough information to identify you.
We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity. This is a security measure to ensure that personal information is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.
You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal information (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive, or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.
We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it may take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.You have rights regarding your personal information, including the right to:
- Contact Us
Please address requests and questions about this Notice to our Data Protection Officer at DPO@manual.co.
- How to Complain
We hope that we can resolve any query or concern that you raise about our use of your personal information.
You also have the right to make a complaint to your supervisory authority. In the UK, this is the Information Commissioner’s Office (www.ico.org.uk).
