5. Health and Other Special Category Information

Information concerning health, pregnancy, fertility, genetics, medical conditions and diagnostic findings is classified as special category personal data.

Special category information receives additional protection under Article 9 of the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.

5.1 Main condition for processing health information

Our principal condition for processing health information is:

Article 9(2)(h) UK GDPR — processing necessary for:

  • Medical diagnosis;
  • Preventive medicine;
  • Providing healthcare or treatment;
  • Managing healthcare services;
  • Diagnostic imaging;
  • Blood collection and related diagnostic services.

This is supported by Schedule 1, Part 1, paragraph 2 of the Data Protection Act 2018.

Processing under this condition is carried out by, or under the responsibility of, healthcare professionals and authorised staff who are subject to professional, contractual or legal duties of confidentiality.

5.2 Other special-category conditions

Depending on the circumstances, we may also rely on:

  • Article 9(2)(a): explicit consent, including where you specifically ask us to disclose information to a third party who is not otherwise involved in your care;
  • Article 9(2)(c): vital interests, where processing is necessary to protect someone’s life and the person is physically or legally unable to consent;
  • Article 9(2)(f): legal claims, where information is required to establish, exercise or defend a legal claim;
  • Article 9(2)(g): substantial public interest, where an applicable condition under Schedule 1 of the Data Protection Act 2018 is met;
  • Relevant safeguarding conditions where information must be used to protect a child, young person or adult at risk.

Consent is not always the lawful basis for processing clinical information.

We may need to retain and use clinical records to provide healthcare, maintain accurate records, meet legal and regulatory obligations, investigate an incident or respond to a legal claim, even where consent is subsequently withdrawn.

5.3 Safeguards applied to health information

We apply additional safeguards to health and special-category information, including:

  • Limiting access to authorised personnel;
  • Role-based system access;
  • Professional and contractual confidentiality requirements;
  • Data-protection and confidentiality training;
  • Secure clinical and laboratory systems;
  • Secure transmission methods;
  • Audit trails where supported by the relevant system;
  • Data-minimisation measures;
  • Collecting only information relevant to the service;
  • Regular review of access permissions;
  • Secure methods for sending reports and images;
  • Appropriate clinical-record retention periods;
  • Secure deletion or destruction;
  • Data Protection Impact Assessments where processing is likely to create a high risk;
  • Additional controls for genetic and prenatal information;
  • Maintaining appropriate internal policies where required by law.

6. How and Why We Use Personal Information

9. Blood Tests and Partner Laboratories

Miracle Inside works with external laboratories to provide blood, genetic, prenatal, fertility and other specialist tests.

When you undergo a laboratory test:

  • Relevant identity and clinical information will be entered on the laboratory request form;

A partner laboratory will normally act as an independent data controller for:

  • Receiving and processing the sample;
  • Conducting the laboratory analysis;
  • Producing the result;
  • Laboratory quality assurance;
  • Retaining laboratory records and samples;
  • Meeting its own regulatory and accreditation obligations.

The laboratory’s own privacy policy, consent requirements and retention procedures will apply to those activities.

The laboratory used will depend on the test selected. Its identity will be shown on, or provided with, the relevant request form, consent documentation or booking information.

We are not responsible for how an authorised recipient processes information after it has been lawfully disclosed to them.

  • A technology, cloud or communications provider operates internationally;
  • You ask us to send information to an overseas fertility clinic or healthcare provider;
  • An overseas healthcare provider is involved in your care.

Before transferring information outside the UK, we will consider the level of protection available and apply an appropriate lawful transfer mechanism where required.

This may include:

  • UK adequacy regulations;
  • The UK International Data Transfer Agreement;
  • The UK Addendum to approved contractual clauses;
  • Appropriate contractual and organisational safeguards;
  • Another transfer mechanism permitted by UK data-protection law.

Information about safeguards relating to a specific transfer may be requested by contacting:

GODSON@MIRACLEINSIDE.com

12. How Long We Retain Information

We retain information only for as long as it is required for clinical, legal, regulatory, financial or operational purposes.

Records will be reviewed before destruction.

A record may be retained beyond its standard period where:

  • It is relevant to continuing care;
  • A complaint or serious incident has occurred;
  • Legal proceedings are ongoing or reasonably anticipated;
  • A regulator, insurer or legal adviser requires continued retention;
  • Safeguarding considerations apply;
  • Another legal or professional requirement applies.

This includes:

  • Women’s health ultrasound records;
  • Diagnostic images;
  • Diagnostic reports;
  • Associated clinical notes;
  • Relevant consent and correspondence.

12.3 Records concerning children and young people

Where a clinical record concerns a child or young person, it will be retained for the period required by current healthcare records-management guidance.

Depending on the individual’s age when care ends, this may mean retaining the record until their 25th or 26th birthday or for another applicable minimum period.

12.4 Blood-test records

Blood-test request forms, consent records, collection records and reports held by Miracle Inside will be retained according to:

  • The nature of the test;
  • Whether it relates to pregnancy or general adult healthcare;

30 days

Footage may be kept for longer where it relates to an incident, complaint, safeguarding concern, investigation, insurance matter or legal proceeding.

12.12 Secure disposal

At the end of the applicable retention period, information will be reviewed and then:

  • Securely deleted;
  • Confidentially destroyed; or
  • Anonymised so that it can no longer identify an individual.

The NHS Records Management Code recommends eight years for general adult health records, including scans and imaging, and identifies a 25-year retention period for maternity records. It also requires records to be reviewed before destruction.

13. How We Protect Information

We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect information from:

  • Unauthorised access;

  • You have provided valid consent;
  • You are an existing client and the communication concerns a similar service;
  • The electronic-marketing rules permit the communication;

You may stop receiving marketing communications at any time by:

  • Selecting the unsubscribe option in a marketing email;

The information disclosed will be limited to what is relevant and proportionate.

The lawful bases may include:

  • Legal obligation — Article 6(1)(c);
  • Vital interests — Article 6(1)(d);
  • Legitimate interests where applicable;
  • Article 9(2)(c);
  • Article 9(2)(g);
  • Relevant safeguarding conditions under Schedule 1 of the Data Protection Act 2018.

19. Your Data-Protection Rights

Depending on the circumstances, you may have the following rights.

19.1 Right to be informed

You have the right to receive clear information about how your personal information is collected and used.

19.2 Right of access

You may request:

  • Confirmation that we process your information;
  • A copy of your personal information;
  • Supplementary information concerning how it is used.

This is commonly known as a Subject Access Request.

19.3 Right to rectification

You may ask us to correct inaccurate information or complete information that is incomplete.

Clinical findings and professional opinions will not normally be removed merely because you disagree with them.

Where appropriate, a correction, clarification or statement recording your disagreement may be added without altering the original clinical entry.

19.4 Right to erasure

You may ask for your information to be deleted in certain circumstances.

This right is not absolute.

Clinical information may need to be retained for healthcare, legal, regulatory, professional, complaint, insurance or safeguarding purposes.

19.5 Right to restriction

You may ask us to restrict how information is used while an issue concerning its accuracy or lawful use is being considered.

19.6 Right to data portability

In certain circumstances, you may ask to receive information in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format or ask for it to be transmitted to another controller.

19.7 Right to object

You may object to processing based on legitimate interests.

You may object to direct marketing at any time.

19.8 Automated decision-making rights

You have rights relating to decisions made solely through automated processing where the decision produces a legal or similarly significant effect.

Miracle Inside does not routinely make clinical decisions solely through automated processing.

19.9 Right to withdraw consent

Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw consent at any time.

Withdrawal:

  • Does not affect processing carried out lawfully before withdrawal;
  • Does not override another lawful requirement to retain clinical information;
  • Does not necessarily require deletion of an accurate clinical record.

20. How to Exercise Your Rights

Requests may be made verbally or in writing. Written requests should preferably be sent to:

GODSON@MIRACLEINSIDE.com

You do not need to use a particular form or quote data-protection legislation.

We may ask for:

  • Evidence of identity;
  • Evidence that a representative is authorised to act for you;
  • Information needed to locate the records;
  • Reasonable clarification where a request is unclear or very broad.

We will carry out a reasonable and proportionate search for the information requested.

We will normally respond without undue delay and within one month after receiving the request and any information reasonably required to confirm your identity, authority or the scope of the request.

The response period may be extended by up to two further months where permitted because a request is complex or numerous.

Where an extension is required, we will explain this within the initial response period.

There is normally no fee.

A reasonable administrative fee may be charged, or a request may be refused, where permitted by law, including where a request is manifestly unfounded or excessive.

Access to health information may be limited where a lawful exemption applies, including where disclosure is likely to cause serious harm to the physical or mental health of an individual or would improperly disclose confidential information about another person.

21. Data-Protection Complaints

You may complain directly to Miracle Inside if you believe that:

  • Your information has been used incorrectly;
  • Information has been disclosed without an appropriate reason;
  • Information held about you is inaccurate;
  • We have not responded properly to a rights request;
  • Our handling of information may breach data-protection law.

Please send complaints to:

GODSON@MIRACLEINSIDE.com

We will:

  • Record the complaint;
  • Investigate it appropriately;
  • Request further information where reasonably necessary;
  • Keep you informed where the investigation is prolonged;
  • Explain the outcome;
  • Explain any action taken;
  • Inform you of your right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office.

What Are Cookies?

miracleinside.com places tiny text files called cookies onto your computer, tablet, or mobile device. This is standard practice for almost all websites.

Cookies are not harmful to your computer and are an essential part of online shopping. They allow us to give you a more efficient customer experience.

What Are Cookies Used For?

There are two main types of cookies: we call them “first-party” and “third-party” cookies.

First-party cookies are small data files that miracleinside.com uses for things such as keeping track of what you’ve put in your basket and remembering who you are when you return to our site. We don’t save personal information such as credit card details in the cookies we create.

Third-party cookies are set on behalf of miracleinside.com. The most important of these are Google and Affiliate Windows, which display text or banner adverts on our behalf on several other reputable websites. These partner cookies don’t collect personal data and would not be able to identify you as an individual customer.

On the whole, cookies are used:

  • For technical purposes essential to the effective operation of websites, particularly in relation to online transactions.
  • To enable miracleinside.com to collect anonymous information about the browsing and shopping activities of our customers for internal analysis.
  • To drive miracleinside.com marketing, particularly banner advertisements and text adverts.
  • To enable miracleinside.com to meet its contractual obligations to make payments to third parties when a product is purchased by someone who has visited our website from a site operated by those parties.
How to Manage Cookies:

If cookies aren’t enabled on your computer, it will mean that your shopping experience on our website will be limited to browsing and researching; you won’t be able to add products to your basket and buy them.
