Privacy Policy

Introduction

By law, all organisations that use personal information (personal data) must provide a clear description of how it is used and also provide any related information to ensure the processing is carried out lawfully and fairly. Your NHS Trusts main Privacy Notice is available on their website. The additional information provided below describes only the use of your information when you use your NHS Trusts TriVice service.  

Please ensure you read your NHS Trusts main Privacy Notice and if you wish to use their TriVice service here, please also read the supplementary information below: 

Your Hospital/NHS Trust/Integrated Care Board has engaged a specialised TriVice supplier which is approved to NHS England technical standards and has gone through stringent scrutiny and achieved all necessary requirements to provide TriVice. NHS England, on behalf of your NHS Trust, contracts with the supplier and acts as a Joint Controller with your NHS Trust for this system. However, NHS England will not receive any of your personal information, so your NHS Trust remains responsible for your data and will ensure that any data you provide to use this service is used for TriVice purposes only. 

The name of the organisation we have engaged to provide this service is Capri Healthcare Ltd. (TriVice), which will act as a Processor of your personal data under GDPR. 

What are the purposes of the processing?

What is the lawful basis for your TriVice service?

The following legal bases set out in the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and UK Data Protection Act 2018 allow your NHS Trust to use your information when you use this TriVice service provided by them: 

  1. When using your Personal Information (Personal Data): Article 6 (1) (e) of the GDPR, which permits us to process your personal information that is necessary to provide a service that is in the public interest 
  1. When using your Sensitive Personal Information (Sensitive Personal Data): Article 9(2) (h) of the GDPR permits us to process your health information which is necessary for the provision of health treatment. 

TriVice enables clinicians to refer a patient to another specialist clinician for expert advice & guidance by reporting symptoms and submitting clinical images. The purpose of processing your data is to make accurate clinical decisions and offer appropriate care. 

What personal information is used?

Because this service is online, your NHS Trust’s need to ensure that they continue to provide you with a confidential and high-quality service. To do so, they need to properly identify you, accurately note both your request and their responses. If they were prevented from using this essential information, then they would be unable to provide the service securely and confidentially. 

The information which is not needed for the service is not collected by TriVice. 

Your NHS Trust uses the following information to identify and deal with your request. 

  1. Identity and Contact Information: includes name, date of birth, NHS number(optional), email address and telephone number, postal address. If you have created an NHS login account you will already have verified who you are and you can, if you wish, use those details from your NHS login account to save you time and avoid having to manually enter your details to re-identify yourself to use the TriVice service. 
  1. Special Categories of Personal Information: Your health information such as your symptoms, conditions, medication and other details which are already held in your NHS Trust records and/or which you provide through the TriVice process. 

Do we share your personal information?

YOUR NHS TRUST CONTROLS YOUR INFORMATION 

For Hospital/NHS Trusts, NHS England confirms that they will only use your information to provide you with health services. 

As mentioned earlier, your NHS Trust has engaged TriVice, a specialised organisation to provide this TriVice service on their behalf, so your personal data will be shared with them in order for them to provide this service to you. 

If you are advised to seek urgent care, your information will not be shared with other health and care providers.  

Whenever your NHS Trust shares your information, they will always comply with the law. 

Where is your information processed and stored?

It is processed and stored within the United Kingdom. 

How long is your personal information kept?

Your Hospital/NHS Trust sets the retention periods for your information and instructs TriVice, their engaged contractor that provides this service on your Hospital/NHS Trust’s behalf, to comply with these periods.  When your information has been copied to your NHS Trust’s own systems then your sensitive information will be deleted by TriVice. TriVice retains your contact details (name, email) for up to 6 weeks, to facilitate communication relating to the consultation, after which they are automatically deleted. 

If you have been advised online to seek urgent care elsewhere, then your information will not be transferred to us and will not be retained after you have read the advice given.
