Marketing

We strive to provide you with choices regarding certain personal data uses, particularly around marketing and advertising.

We may use your identity, contact details, usage data, technical data and marketing preferences to form a view on what we think you may want or need, or what may be of interest to you. This is how we decide which products, services and offers may be relevant for you.

You will receive marketing communications from us if you have requested information from us or purchased services from us and, in each case, you have not opted out of receiving that marketing.

We will get your express opt-in consent before we share your personal data with any company outside the Urgencee.com Limited group for marketing purposes.

Opting Out of Marketing

You can ask us or third parties to stop sending you marketing messages at any time by contacting us at any time.

Where you opt out of receiving these marketing messages, this will not apply to personal data provided to us as a result of a service purchase, service experience or other transactions.

If we intend to use your information for any other purpose, we will let you know what we intend to do with such data and the legal basis we are relying on for processing such data. This may include obtaining your express consent to the use of such data.

4. Disclosure of your information

Other than in respect of special category personal data, you agree that we have the right to share your personal information with the third parties set out below, or any other third parties notified to you, for the purposes set out in paragraph 3 above:

We will only share your special category personal information with third parties where:

If we intend to share your special category personal data with any third parties for any other lawful purpose, we will notify you before doing so (where possible) of the legal basis on which we are seeking to rely.

Where you participate in a consultation, the relevant clinician will make notes of your consultation and the treatment or advice provided. We encourage you to allow us to share your consultation notes with your regular doctor or general practitioner, but we will only do so with your explicit consent; unless required to do so by law. In such circumstances, we will only disclose so much of your clinical notes as you request.

International transfers for non-special category data

Some of our external third parties may be based outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”) so their processing of your personal data would involve a transfer of data outside the EEA. This will only involve the transfer of non-special category personal data outside the EEA.

Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the EEA, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:

Please contact us if you want further information on the specific mechanism used by us when transferring your personal data out of the EEA.

Where we store your personal data

All information you provide to us is stored on our secure servers in the EEA (normally UK) and is encrypted.

Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password which enables you to access certain parts of our site or our application, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share a password with anyone.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure which can depend on factors on your end. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data and use industry-standard security and encryption measures, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our site or our application; any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorized access.
