Third-party links and service providers

Our Website, App, communications and services may, from time to time, contain links to and from third party websites, plug-ins, applications and services. Clicking on those links, enabling those connections or taking up those services may allow third parties to collect or share data about you. We do not control these third-party websites and services and are not responsible for their privacy statements. We encourage you to read the privacy notice of every website you visit or service you make use of.

Your personal data may be shared with the service providers that use our Website and App to provide services to you. We do not control these service providers and are not responsible for their privacy statements, which we encourage you to obtain and read.

2. The data we collect about you

Personal data means any information about an individual from which that person can be identified. It does not include data where the identity has been removed (anonymous data). We may collect, use, store and transfer different kinds of personal data about you which we have grouped together as follows:

  • Identity Data (e.g., first name, last name, identity number or passport number, practitioner code, medical practice registration number, username or similar identifier, title, date of birth and gender.
  • Contact Data (e.g., billing address, physical address, email address and phone numbers).
  • Financial Data (e.g., payment card details).
  • Transaction Data (e.g., details of products or services you have purchased from us or from service providers).
  • Technical and Device Data (e.g., internet protocol (IP) address, your login data, browser type and version, time zone setting and location, browser plug-in types and versions and operating system and platform; it may also include other data on the device you use to access our Website or App, e.g.: the type of mobile device you use, your mobile network or carrier information, your mobile application identifier, and push status as well as content data stored on your device including login information).

We also collect, use and share Aggregated Data such as statistical or demographic data for other purposes including research and analysis. Aggregated Data could be derived from your personal data but is not considered personal data under Data Protection Laws as this data will not directly or indirectly reveal your identity. For example, we may aggregate your Usage Data to calculate the percentage of users accessing a specific Website or App feature. However, if we combine or connect Aggregated Data with your personal data so that it can directly or indirectly identify you, we treat the combined data as personal data which will be used in accordance with this privacy notice.

    • Where we need to perform the services or contract we are about to enter into or have entered into with you.
    • Where it is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests.
    • Where we need to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation.

We may also process your personal data without your knowledge or consent where this is required or permitted by law.

    6. Disclosures of your personal data

    When you consent to providing us with your personal data, you also consent to share your personal data with certain third party suppliers. We will only share your personal data for our legitimate business purposes relating to our business activities. We require all third parties to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with Data Protection Laws. We do not allow our third party suppliers to use your personal data for their own purposes and only permit them to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions. Examples of third parties that we may share your personal data include:

    • Suppliers such as technology companies in the United States that provide analytics or payments services.
    • Professional advisers such as lawyers and accountants based in the UK or South Africa that provide legal and accounting services.
    • Regulators such as the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) in the UK or Information Regulator in South Africa that may require reporting in certain circumstances.
    • Service providers in the country in which you are based that use our Website and App to provide services directly to you.
    • Other companies in the Lumina Health group based in South Africa that provide customer and technical support services.

    International transfers

    Some of our third parties, for example hosting and analytics suppliers, may be based outside of the country are based, so their processing of your personal data will involve a transfer of data. Whenever we transfer your personal data internationally, we ensure a similar and adequate degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring safeguards are implemented, for example:

    • We will only transfer your personal data to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data (for example, by the Information Regulator or the European Commission).
    • Where we use certain suppliers, we may use specific standard contracts which give personal data the necessary level of protection (for example, model clauses approved by the European Commission).  

    Please contact us if you want further information on how we transfer your personal data internationally.

    7. Data security

    We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, falsified, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. All information you provide to us is stored on our or our suppliers’ secure servers. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions, and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality. We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

    8. Data retention

    We will only retain your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or reporting requirements. We may retain your personal data for a longer period in the event of a complaint or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation in respect to our relationship with you. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal regulatory, tax, accounting or other requirements. In some circumstances we will anonymise your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes, in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

    9. Your legal rights

    Under certain circumstances, you have rights under Data Protection Laws in relation to your personal data and to check that we are lawfully processing it. Your rights include those listed below.

    Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a "data subject access request"). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you.

    Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected.

    Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete your personal data, but only in specific circumstances, for example where the personal data is no longer necessary in relation to the purpose for which it was originally collected or processed. It may not always be possible for us to delete all of the information we hold about you if you request this, for example if we have an ongoing contractual relationship with you.

    Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party). In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.

    Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in specific circumstances, for example while we are reviewing the accuracy or completeness of data or deciding whether any request for erasure is valid.  

    Request the transfer of your personal data. The right to data portability means you have the right to receive, move, copy or transfer your personal data to another Controller, when we are processing your personal data based on consent or on a contract and the processing is carried out by automated means.

    Withdraw consent at any time where we are processing your personal data based on consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.

    If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please contact us using the contact details stated above.

    10. General

    Automated decision-making. You will not be subject to decisions that will have a significant impact on you based solely on automated decision-making, unless we have a lawful basis for doing so and we have notified you. We do not envisage that any decisions will be taken about you using automated means, however we will notify you in writing if this position changes.

    No fee usually required. You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if you r request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we could refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.

    What we may need from you. We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access the information (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it.

    Time limit to respond. We try to respond to all legitimate requests as soon as is reasonably practicable and in any event within the statutory time-limits. It could take us longer 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.
