Skinspect Privacy Policy (Patients)
This Privacy Policy together with our Privacy Policy (Website), Patient Consent Form, and our Terms and Conditions sets out how Skinspect Limited (“we”, “our”, “us”) will use any personal information we collect from you, or you provide to us during your use of this site (the “website”).
When you enquire about our services or when you become a patient of Skinspect or otherwise use our services, a record is made which includes your personal information.
The type of personal information that we collect will vary depending on the circumstances of collection and the kind of service that you request from us, but will typically include such details are:
- Personal Information: Your full name, your NHI number, your eligibility, your date of birth, your general contact details, your occupation.
- Doctor’s Information.
- Known medical history related to skin.
- Appointment specific information: when you attend an appointment at Skinspect, we use modern dermoscopy technology and we take clinical images of your skin and make and record assessments on our findings and observations.
Information may be collected via any means, but much of it will be collected from the Patient Consent Form you complete and our assessments at your appointments with us. Other information may also be collected through our website, from you when you register or make a booking with us, or via any other means.
We may collect and use personal information in order to:
- verify your identity

We will not disclose any personally identifiable information without your permission unless:

- We are in negotiations with a third party for the sale or purchase of any business or assets, in which case we may disclose your personal data to the prospective seller or buyer of such business or assets;

Holding information
We make reasonable efforts to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk associated with the processing of your personal information. We maintain organisational, technical and administrative measures designed to protect personal information within our organisation against unauthorized access, destruction, loss, alteration or misuse. Unfortunately, no data transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure (for example, if you feel that the security of your account has been compromised), please contact us immediately.
We retain your personal information as long as we are providing services to you. We retain personal information after we cease providing services directly or indirectly to you, even if you cease to be our patient, to the extent necessary to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations, and for the purpose of fraud monitoring, detection and prevention. We also retain personal information to comply with our tax, accounting, and financial reporting obligations, where we are required to retain the data by our contractual commitments to our financial partners, and where data retention is mandated by the payment methods that we support. Where we retain data, we do so in accordance with any limitation periods and records retention obligations that are imposed by applicable law.
