- ‘Data Processor’: which means We collect, record, organise, structure, store, use and otherwise deal with your personal data.
- We are instructed by a ‘data controller’ (the lead service supporting you) how to deal with your personal data – how to process your information and what to process. For those working with GSH we are the lead service therefore also the data controller.
This privacy policy (together with Our terms of use and any documents referred to in it) sets out the basis on which any personal data We collect from you, or that you provide to Us, will be handled by Us.
Service users in Ireland: GPs are independent data controllers in their own right and may refer patients to MyTransitions for this service. MyTransitions are also data controllers for this programme as they collect, record, organise, structure, store, use and otherwise deal with your personal data. The HSE supports the MyTransitions service but is not the designated data controller for any personal data collected and processed by MyTransitions.
