7 WHERE YOUR INFORMATION IS LOCATED OR TRANSFERRED TO
7.1 Data Hosting Location
Patient information collected and managed by our clinic is stored using Cliniko, a secure practice management system. For UK residents, Cliniko stores personal and health data primarily on servers located within the United Kingdom. These servers are maintained in secure, state-of-the-art data centres with robust physical and electronic security controls.
7.2 Data Security Measures
We will only transfer information outside of the UK or EEA where we have a valid legal mechanism in place (to make sure that your personal data is guaranteed a level of protection, regardless of where in the world it is located, e.g. by using contracts approved by the European Commission or UK Secretary of State). Cliniko employs industry-standard security protocols to protect patient data,
including:
-Encryption of all data in transit (using HTTPS and 2048-bit SSL certificates) and at rest (using
AES-256 encryption).
-Restricted access controls, ensuring only authorised personnel can access sensitive information.
-Daily automated backups to safeguard against data loss.
7.3 International Data Transfers
While Cliniko’s primary servers for UK data are located within the UK, there may be occasions where data is processed or accessed outside the United Kingdom. In such cases, Cliniko ensures that appropriate safeguards are in place, including the use of Standard Contractual Clauses and compliance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), to maintain the security and privacy of your data.
7.4 Compliance and Subprocessors
Cliniko’s data processing practices are governed by a Data Processing Addendum (DPA), which outlines their compliance with applicable data protection laws, including UK GDPR.
