At Ecc Eyecare the following is a summary of how we handle and collect your data:

Information gathered at the Practice:
The information that might be recorded about you may include:
-basic details about you such as name and date of birth, address and email
-details of spectacle or contact lens prescription
-details of glasses supplied
-other notes about your health and medical treatment
-information relevant to your continued care from other people who care for you including other healthcare professionals and relatives
The lawful basis for processing your data is a legitimate interest and for the purposes of healthcare.
In providing a professional and safe, efficient service there is a certain amount of information that we record as noted above. This information won’t be shared with anyone except under the circumstances described below under “sharing information”.
Sharing information
We adhere to the guidelines of the College of Optometrists and the Data Protection and will not pass any of your personal information to a third party without your consent unless there is a clear public interest duty to do so. You will need to provide us with your consent if you wish us to pass your information to another optometrist.
If you are an NHS patient, we are obliged to provide the portion of your record that relates to NHS services to authorised persons within the NHS (who are in turn subject to a duty of confidentiality) if they request this. This is usually to confirm that we have provided the NHS services that we have been paid for, and to improve quality of care. It is also possible that the NHS may contact you to ask if you have received services (such as a sight test or spectacles) as part of this monitoring.
You are entitled to a copy of this information although there may be an administrative charge for providing it. Please get in touch if you feel we may hold inaccurate information about you. If you wish to see your records, please ask Elizabeth Christie and we will respond as quickly as possible and in any case are required to do so within one month. If you require independent advice, contact the Information Commissioners Office at www.ico.gov.uk.
