Introduction
Daventry Health Rehabilitation Trust, operating as Reach for Health (RfH), is strongly committed to protecting personal data. This privacy statement describes why and how we collect and use personal data and provides information about individuals’ rights. It applies to personal data provided to us, both by individuals themselves or by others. We may use personal data provided to us for any of the purposes described in this privacy statement or as otherwise stated at the point of collection.
Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable living person. When collecting and using personal data, our policy is to be transparent about why and how we process the personal data we collect.
What personal data do we use?
The information we collect includes your name and contact details when you join Reach for Health and, where relevant, details of health assessments and medical history and notes relating to your personalised exercise programme. Where you have opted to pay membership fees by direct debit, we also collect your bank details.
We also collect personal data for the purposes of the day to day operation of RfH. This includes, for instance, employee records and contact details for volunteers and Trustees. A full breakdown of what personal data we hold can be found in our Data Protection Policy document.
How will your personal data be used?
All the information Reach for Health collects and processes is used strictly and solely for administering memberships and undertaking health and fitness consultations and assessments. This enables us to make informed decisions when designing your personalised exercise program and enables us to monitor your progress. We also have a legal responsibility to ensure we have your personal details and those of your emergency contact which we would use if you became unwell whilst at the Centre.
In addition, where you have given us permission, we use your email address to keep you informed of the latest news and upcoming events at Reach for Health.
Who do we share your personal data with?
If you have chosen to pay your membership fees by direct debit, we are obliged to share the relevant specific personal data i.e. bank details, with DFC (Debit Finance Collections) who operate and administer direct debit collections on our behalf. The data is input directly to DFC’s secure online system, so it is not held on the Reach for Health computers.
Other than the instance above, we will never share your information with anyone else electronically and will only provide written notes for you to personally give to your doctor if we feel you need to consult your doctor on a specific issue.
How long do we keep your personal data?
We will keep your personal details for as long as necessary to enable us to fulfil the purposes
that we describe above. For example:
- Personal contact and emergency contact details along with health notes where
relevant will be held for the duration of your membership with Reach for Health - Bank details are held by DFC on our behalf for the duration of your payment by direct
debit. On cancellation of the direct debit that data is permanently deleted. - Employee, volunteer and trustee personal data will be held for the duration of their
working relationship with Reach for Health
As a service user, when you leave Reach for Health all personal data is securely deleted from
our systems.
This rule also applies to the personal details of our employees and volunteers (including trustees) i.e. all online records containing personal details are securely deleted and paperbased DBS checks are shredded.
