3. HOW WE COLLECT YOUR PERSONAL DATA

We may collect data about you by you providing the data directly to us (for example, by filling in forms on our site or by sending us emails). We may automatically collect certain data from you using cookies and technologies similar to those you use on our website. Please see our cookie policy for more details.


We may receive data from third parties, such as analytics providers such as Google based outside the EU, advertising networks such as Facebook based outside the EU, search information providers such as Google based outside the EU, providers of technical, payment, and delivery services, such as data brokers or aggregators.


We may also receive data from publicly available sources such as Companies House and the Electoral Register.


4. MARKETING COMMUNICATIONS

Our lawful ground for processing your personal data to send you marketing communications is either your consent or our legitimate interests (namely, to grow our business).


Under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations, we may send you marketing communications if (i) you made a purchase or asked for information about our goods or services or (ii) you agreed to receive marketing communications, and in each case, you have not opted out of receiving such communications since. Under these regulations, if you are a limited company, we may send you marketing emails without your consent. However, you can still opt out of receiving our marketing emails anytime.


We will obtain your express consent before we share your personal data with any third party for their marketing purposes.

You can ask us or third parties to stop sending you marketing communications at any time by following the opt-out links in every email sent to you OR by emailing us at team@cancer-med.com at any time.


If you opt out of receiving marketing communications, this opt-out does not apply to personal data provided as a result of other transactions, such as purchases, orders, etc.


5. DISCLOSURES OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA

We may have to share your personal data with the parties set out below:

  • Service providers who provide IT and system administration services.
  • Professional advisers include lawyers, bankers, auditors, and insurers.
  • Government bodies that require us to report processing activities.
  • Third parties such as copywriters, customer support, and virtual assistants.
  • Third parties to whom we sell, transfer or merge parts of our business or our assets.


We require all third parties to whom we transfer your data to respect the security of your personal data and treat it according to the law. We only allow such third parties to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.


6. INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS

Countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA) do not always offer the same levels of protection for personal data, so European law has prohibited transfers of personal data outside the EEA unless the transfer meets certain criteria.


Many of our third-party service providers are based outside the European Economic Area (EEA), so their processing of your personal data will involve transferring data outside the EEA.

Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the EEA, we do our best to ensure a similar degree of security of data 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 or
  • Where we use certain service providers, we may use specific contracts or codes of conduct or certification mechanisms approved by the European Commission which give personal data the same protection it has in Europe or
  • Where we use providers based in the United States, we may transfer data to them if they are part of the EU-US Privacy Shield, which requires them to provide protection similar to personal data shared between Europe and the US.

If none of the above safeguards is available, we may request your explicit consent to the specific transfer. You will have the right to withdraw this consent at any time.


7. DATA SECURITY

We have implemented appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used, or accessed unauthorizedly, altered, or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors, and other third parties with a business that needs to know such data. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and are subject to a duty of confidentiality.


We have implemented 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 necessary to fulfill the purposes for which we collected it, including satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.


When deciding what the correct time is to keep the data, we look at its amount, nature, sensitivity, potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure, processing purposes, whether these can be achieved by other means, and legal requirements.


For tax purposes, the law requires us to keep basic information about our customers (including contact, identity, business communications, financial, and transaction data) for ten years after they cease to be customers.


In some circumstances, we may anonymize your personal data for research or statistical purposes, in which case we may use this information indefinitely without your further notice.


9. YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS

Under data protection laws, you have rights regarding your personal data that include the right to request access, correction, erasure, restriction, transfer, object to processing, request data portability, and (where the lawful ground of processing is consent) withdraw consent.


You can read more about these rights here.


If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please email us at team@cancer-med.com.


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 your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive, or excessive or if you refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.


We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This security measure ensures that personal data is not disclosed to anyone with 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.


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 several requests. In this case, we will notify you.


If you are unhappy with how we collect and use your data, you can complain to your local supervisory authority about data protection issues. Read more about these rights here: https://www.eugdpr.org/. We would be grateful if you would contact us first if you have a complaint so we can try to resolve it.
