CancerScan UK Ltd Privacy Policy for UK Users

Introduction and General Data Processing

CancerScan UK Ltd is committed to safeguarding your privacy. We value the trust you place in us when you share your personal data. This policy is designed to explain how we use and protect the personal data you provide to us.

When we refer to “CancerScan UK Ltd”, “us”, “we”, or “our”, we mean CancerScan UK Ltd, which can be contacted by post at 5 Beaufoy Walk, London, SE11 6AA, by email at privacy@cancerscanuk.co.uk, and by telephone at 020 8133 8193.

“Personal data” is defined as any data or information that can identify a living individual. CancerScan UK Ltd is the data controller of your personal data in the context of this policy.

Scope of Our Privacy Policy

This policy applies to all personal data collected or used in the course of providing our services. This includes information collected on our websites, apps, and other places where these services are advertised. Please be aware that our sites may contain links to other sites and that the privacy practices of other sites may differ from those of CancerScan UK Ltd.

Processing Your Personal Data

We only process personal data where we have a lawful basis for doing so. The lawful bases are described in this Privacy Policy. Where we use your personal data to provide our products or services, in compliance with our legal obligations, or for employment applications, provision of this personal data is mandatory. Failing to provide the requested personal data means we may not be able to deliver our products or services or process your application. All other data provision, such as details for marketing communications, is optional.

Your Rights

As a UK resident or if CancerScan UK Ltd’s processing of your personal data is otherwise subject to the UK’s Data Protection Act 2018 (“DPA18”), you may have certain rights with respect to your personal data. You can exercise these rights at any time by contacting us at privacy@cancerscanuk.co.uk.

  • Access: You can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
  • Correction: You can ask us to correct any incomplete or inaccurate personal data we hold about you.
  • Erasure: You can ask us to delete your personal data where there is no legitimate reason for us continuing to process it.
  • Restriction: You can ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data.
  • Portability: You can ask us to transfer your personal data to another data controller in a machine-readable form.
  • Object: You can object to our processing where we are relying on a legitimate interest as our legal basis. You can also object at any time to our use of your personal data for direct marketing purposes.
  • Withdraw Consent: Where we rely on your consent to process your personal data, you can withdraw consent at any time.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a UK data protection authority if you believe a breach of the DPA18 occurred. However, we encourage you to contact us first at privacy@cancerscanuk.co.uk, so we can address your concerns.

Transferring and Retaining Your Personal Data

In cases where we transfer your personal data outside the UK, and to the extent required by the DPA18, we rely on suitable safeguards to protect your personal data. This includes using standard contractual clauses approved by relevant authorities as ensuring adequate safeguards, obtaining your consent after informing you about potential risks, when the transfer is necessary for the performance of a contract, and where necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

We retain your personal data only as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which we collected such data, including satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. In determining the appropriate retention period, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure, and the applicable legal requirements.

By using our services, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or our data handling practices, please contact us at privacy@cancerscanuk.co.uk.
