Your personal data will be treated as strictly confidential, and will only be shared with third party clinicians or providers of therapeutic or assessment services such as, but not limited to, therapy of any kind, or additional assessments. We will only share your personal data with third parties if you provide us with your consent, or the sharing of your personal data is required by law, or there is a substantial public interest for us to do so (such as a danger to the wider public), or the disclosure of your personal data is of overall benefit to you when we believe that you lack the capacity to consent.

You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. Please note that should you withdraw your consent, your employer or employer representative may choose to act on the information they have to hand.
Please note that failure to provide appropriate information may lead to our clinicians being unable to provide a medical opinion or to provide appropriate therapeutic care.
What Are Your Rights?
Right of access. The GDPR gives you the right to access copies of the personal data held about you. Your right of access can be exercised in accordance with the GDPR. The first copy of the personal data held about you will be provided free of charge but any subsequent copy will be subject to a reasonable fee based on the administrative costs of providing copies of the personal data to you.
Right to request an electronic copy of your personal data. Where you provide personal data you have the right to be provided with a structured, commonly used and machine-readable copy and have the right, in certain circumstances, to ensure that we transmit that personal data to a recipient of your choice without hindrance (the right to data portability).

That means that we will hold your personal data on file but that we cannot process that personal data. We will inform you if for any reason the restriction on processing your personal data is lifted.
Where any rectification or erasure of personal data or restriction of processing has taken place we shall communicate any rectification to you or erasure or restriction of processing to each recipient to whom the personal data has been disclosed, unless this proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort. We shall, if you request, inform you about those recipients.
