  • demographic information such as postcode, preferences, and interests

 

How we use the information we collect

We use the information we collect to:

  • keep our records up-to-date
  • improve the website, products and services by monitoring how you use them (we might also use aggregated or non-identifiable information to help with this)
  • respond to any feedback, questions or requests you send us, if you’ve asked us to respond
  • give you information you request about other services we provide, e.g. where you sign up to a newsletter
  • provide services to you if you are a customer (including by providing you with user account access to our online systems or portals)
  • to produce outcome reports and / or any associated advice to our clients or directly to you as a customer

Where we record telephone calls, these will be used for training and quality assurance purposes and may be used in dispute resolution or in defence of legal claims.

Where we operate CCTV systems, these systems may be used for the detection and prevention of crime and recordings may be used in dispute resolution or in defence of legal claims.

Where we use Facebook Lead Forms, we will hold the information and use it to:

  • periodically send promotional emails about new products, special offers or other information which we think you may find interesting using the email address which you have provided in line with any opt-in or consent you have provided.
  • obtain information in relation to Facebook advertising, including custom audiences, conversion tracking and remarketing

 

Sending us information about your health or disability

If you send us any sensitive personal data, including information about your health (such as a medical condition) or your disability, we may use that information to provide the services to our client/s. We will do this in line with any notices provided or consent that Maximus UK or our client obtains from you and otherwise in compliance with relevant legislation, including data protection and equality laws; and, where appropriate, ethical guidelines issued by the General Medical Council, Faculty of Occupational Medicine and others. We may also contact the author of the information you send us to confirm that it is accurate.

 

Keeping your information secure

We store all customer information on secure servers in line with our data retention policies, client requirements and data protection legislation. We take extensive technical and operational steps to protect the data we keep against unauthorised access, unlawful processing, accidental loss or destruction, damage, or misuse.

Although we do our best to protect the information we collect and store about you, we cannot guarantee the security of any information sent to us via the internet.

Maximus UK companies align to (and in most cases are certified to) the international information security standard ISO27001.

 

Disclosing your information

We will not sell your information or share it with any other organisations for their own marketing, market research or commercial purposes.

We may pass on the information we collect about you:

  • in an anonymised (so you are not identifiable) way to:
    • our client e.g. how you use our systems and programmes
    • researchers, e.g. to identify themes and trends and improve outcomes, for example, health outcomes
  • if we need to disclose your personal information to any law enforcement agency, court, regulator, government authority or other third party where we believe this is necessary to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation, or otherwise to protect our rights or the rights of any third party
  • to other parties where we identify serious concerns about your or someone else’s health or wellbeing
  • to any third party or supplier for the purposes of providing the services, where you have provided consent (where appropriate)
  • as part of a sale of some or all of our business and assets to any third party or as part of any business restructuring or reorganisation

Where information is passed to other parties, it will be subject to controls to maintain security and confidentiality of the data and, where it is anonymised data, to prevent re-identification.

 

Your rights

Under data protection laws, you have a number of rights. For example, you can ask us:

  • for a copy of the information we hold about you
  • to delete information or correct any inaccuracies
  • to update any out-of-date information

If you have access to your own data via one of our applications or web portals, you may be able to correct, delete or retrieve a copy of your personal data directly from that system.

If we hold your information for the purposes of services we provide on behalf of another organisation, any request you make may be more relevant to them and we may ask you to contact them directly. If you do send your request to us and we pass it to another organisation, we will tell you.

When making your request you should provide us with enough information to allow us to confirm your identity. We may ask for more information, for example to allow us to locate that information or if someone else makes the request to us on your behalf we may ask for a specific form of authority by which you allow them to receive your information from us on your behalf.

If you ask us to delete all data we hold about you, and we hold the information based on:

  • your consent – we will delete it. Where we do agree to delete your data this may result in the termination of our services;
  • another legal basis – we will consider your request on a case by case basis, establish if the legal basis still applies and whether we can otherwise delete the information. If it is not necessary for us to keep it, we will delete it.

If you want to receive information about who the data controller is for one of our services, or the legal basis for processing your personal information under GDPR you should contact us.
