Reignscare generally collects only the personal information necessary to fulfill your request and to provide the requested and/or agreed services. Where additional, optional information is sought, you will be notified of this at the point of collection. The applicable law allows us to process personal information, so long as we have a ground under the law to do so. It also requires us to tell you what those grounds are. As a result, when we process your personal information, we will rely on one of the following processing conditions:

Consent: We may occasionally ask you for specific permission to process some of your personal information for some or more specific purposes such as research and studies, and we will only process your personal information in this way if you so agree.
What constitutes consent? Your consent is given when you consume our services, navigate our website, tick our online forms or boxes, subscribe to our email alerts, and attend our online/offline events and other events, or when you voluntarily submit your personal data to us.
How do you withdraw your consent? You may withdraw your consent at any time by unsubscribing to our email alerts or other digital platforms or by contacting the Reignscare Data Protection Officer (DPO) via info@reignscare.co.uk

We use technologies (e.g. data encryption, firewalls) to protect the security of data in transit and data at rest by following a risk based approach. All Reignscare staff, vendors and other similar third parties are required to observe our privacy standards and to allow us audit them for compliance.

2.5 Sharing Information

We do not share personal information with unaffiliated third parties, except if necessary for our legitimate professional and business needs, to carry out your requests, and/or as required or permitted by law. These include:
