ACCESS TO THE PERSONAL DATA WE MAY HOLD ABOUT YOU

You can ask us whether we are keeping personal data about you upon request, which you can indicate by:

Sending an email to info@fitzgeraldprivateclinic.com

Post: Fitzgerald Private Clinic, 3 Anne’s Lane, Dublin 2.

We will provide you with a readable copy of the personal data which we keep about you, within one month of receipt of this request – although we will before require proof of your identity. This can be extended by two months where the request for rectification is complex. We will provide this information free of charge.

We will however charge a reasonable fee when a request for information is manifestly unfounded or excessive, particularly if it is repetitive. We may also charge a reasonable fee to comply with the requests for further copies of the same information. This fee is based on the administrative cost to provide this information.

We allow you to challenge the data that we hold about you and, where appropriate, you may have the data erased, rectified or amended if it is incorrect or inaccurate. We reserve the right to refuse to provide our visitors with a copy of their personal data if the request is manifestly unfounded or excessive, but we will give reasons for our refusal. We do, however, allow you to challenge our decision to refuse to provide you with a copy of your personal data. You have the right to complain to the supervisory authority and to a judicial remedy without undue delay and at the latest within one month.

 

ERASURE OF DATA

You have a right to have your personal data erased to prevent processing in the following specific circumstances:

  • Where the personal data is no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which it was originally collected/processed.

  • If you wish to withdraw consent.

  • If you object to the processing and there is no overriding legitimate interest for continuing the processing.

  • The data was unlawfully processed in accordance with the GDPR.

  • The personal data has to be erased in order to comply with a legal obligation.

  • The personal data is processed in relation to the offer of information society services to a child.

  

KEEPING YOUR INFORMATION SECURE – TO HELP US KEEP YOUR INFORMATION CONFIDENTIAL YOU SHOULD:

  • Keep your password secret.

  • Never distribute the website addresses for pages that you have looked at while logged in as a registered member or visitor.

  • You should choose a password that is not obvious or known to anyone else. You should never give a third party your password, as you will be responsible for all activity and charges incurred through use of your password whether authorised by you or not.

  • If you forget your password, you can request a new password, which will be emailed to the address we hold for you. You can change your password anytime through your account on the website. Should we think that there is likely to be, or has been any breach of security, we may change your password and notify you of the change by email.

 

NOTIFICATION OF CHANGES TO THIS POLICY

If we decide to change our Privacy Policy, we will post these changes on this website so you know what information we collect and how we use it.

You will have a choice as to whether or not we use your information in this different manner.

SUMMATION

We try to meet the highest standards when collecting and using personal information. For this reason, we take any complaints we receive about this very seriously.
