What does it contain?
The document starts with some introductory text you can use in an email when you send out the Data Protection and Privacy Consent. I use WriteUpp and I take the client’s consent using their ‘Consent’ function.
Following this suggested email text the main document includes the following headings:
- Who I am and what service I am providing
- Why I need your personal data
- How I will use your data within my practice. This includes a list of the electronic products I use and briefly what I use them for. You can edit these to reflect your practice but this will prompt you to consider tools used across all aspects of your organisation
- How you can modify the data I hold about you
- How you can access data I hold about you
- How you can retract consent to hold and process your records
- How you can raise a complaint, should you wish to do so. This includes details of your professional body and the legal jurisdiction you operate under, particularly important for non-UK residents
