A legal disclaimer
Company name: Stopford Healthcare Ltd
At Stopford Healthcare Ltd, we are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and safeguard your personal information when you interact with our services, including but not limited to our website, consultancy activities, AI development, educational offerings, and research projects. By engaging with our services, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.
We may collect various types of personal data depending on how you use our services. This may include your name, email address, job title, organisation, and any information you choose to share with us through contact forms or professional engagement. Technical information such as IP addresses and browsing data may also be collected via cookies and analytics tools to help improve the user experience on our website. If you participate in our AI research, training programmes, or consultancy projects, additional data—possibly including sensitive health-related information—may be collected in a secure and anonymised or pseudonymised format, always in accordance with ethical and legal standards.
We process your data to communicate with you, deliver services, fulfil contracts, comply with regulations, and enhance our offerings. This includes responding to enquiries, managing collaborations, developing new tools, improving existing services, and meeting our legal obligations. We do not sell or rent your data, and we only share it with trusted partners or regulators when necessary for delivering services or fulfilling a legal duty.
The legal basis for processing your data under the UK GDPR may include your consent (e.g. submitting a form), the performance of a contract (e.g. advisory or project-based work), compliance with a legal obligation (e.g. audit or safeguarding requirements), or our legitimate interests as a clinician-led health technology organisation. We ensure any legitimate interest is balanced with your rights and expectations.
Your data is stored securely and only accessed by authorised personnel. We implement a range of physical, technical, and organisational measures to safeguard your information, including encryption, access controls, and secure storage. Data is retained only as long as necessary for the purpose it was collected, or as required under applicable laws or clinical data retention policies.
Our website uses cookies to improve your experience and analyse site usage. These small text files are stored on your device and can be disabled via your browser settings if you prefer. By continuing to browse the site, you consent to our use of cookies unless you opt out.
Under UK data protection law, you have the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict the use of your personal data. You may also object to processing in certain cases or withdraw consent at any time where applicable. If you wish to exercise any of these rights or have concerns about how your data is handled, please contact us using the details below. If you’re not satisfied with our response, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).
