Note to Psychology Tools Customers and their Patients

This Privacy Policy primarily applies to clinicians, organisations, and other professional users who purchase or use Psychology Tools services directly.

Where clinicians use the Platform to share resources with their patients or clients, Psychology Tools generally processes patient personal data as a data processor on behalf of the clinician and in accordance with the clinician’s instructions.

If you are a patient or client accessing resources shared with you by a clinician, please also refer to the section “Where We Process Your Data on Behalf of your Clinician”, which explains how patient personal data is processed through the Platform.

In relation to patient personal data processed through the Platform, the clinician is generally the data controller.

If you are a resident of the United Kingdom, you have the right to make a complaint at any time to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), the UK supervisory authority for data protection issues (www.ico.org.uk).

Controller

For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, if you are a clinician, Psychology Tools is the controller and responsible for your personal data.

We have appointed a Data Protection Officer (DPO) who is responsible for overseeing questions in relation to this Privacy Policy.

Marketing

We strive to provide you with choices regarding certain personal data uses, particularly around marketing and advertising.

We may use your Identity, Contact, Technical, Usage and Profile Data to form a view on what we think you may want or need, or what may be of interest to you. This is how we decide which products/services and offers may be relevant for you (we call this marketing).

You will receive marketing communications from us if you have requested information from us, purchased products/services from us, or where we have obtained your professional contact details from lawful third-party sources and, in each case, you have not opted out of receiving that marketing.

We will get your express opt-in consent before we share your personal data with any company outside of our group of companies to send you communications for marketing purposes.

Opting Out

You can ask us or third parties to stop sending you marketing messages at any time by contacting us using the details set out above.

Where you opt out of receiving these marketing messages, this will not apply to personal data provided to us as a result of a product/service purchase or other transaction.

Change Of Purpose

We will only use your personal data for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose. If you wish to get an explanation as to how the processing for the new purpose is compatible with the original purpose, please contact us.

If we need to use your personal data for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and we will explain the lawful basis which allows us to do so.

Please note that we may process your personal data without your knowledge or consent, in compliance with the above rules, where this is required or permitted by law.

• Any third party to whom we may choose to sell, transfer, or merge parts of our business or our assets. Alternatively, we may seek to acquire other businesses or merge with them. If a change happens to our business, then the new owners may use your personal data in the same way as set out in this Privacy Policy.

• Professional advisers acting as data processors or joint controllers including lawyers, bankers, auditors and insurers who provide banking, legal, insurance and accounting services.

• HM Revenue & Customs (and like bodies outside of the UK), regulators and other authorities who require reporting of processing activities in certain circumstances.

We require all third parties to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law. We do not allow our third-party service providers to use your personal data for their own purposes and only permit them to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions. We will not disclose your personal data to any other third parties without your specific consent unless we are required to do so by law.

Where Your Data is Stored and International Transfers

Psychology Tools operates regional versions of the Platform, including in the United Kingdom, United States, Canada, and Australia.

Account and administrative data relating to clinicians and professional users – such as account details, authentication credentials, billing information, and contact information – is generally stored and managed from our systems in the United Kingdom.

Where clinicians use the Platform to share resources or interact with patients, patient data and data relating to patient interactions is generally stored within the regional version of the Platform selected by the clinician when setting up their account. In the ordinary course of operation, patient data remains in that selected region.

For example, when a patient accesses the Platform, or when a clinician accesses patient-related information, those interactions will generally be handled within the regional environment associated with the clinician’s account. Limited account, administrative, security, support, or operational data may nevertheless be accessible from, or processed in, other jurisdictions where necessary to operate, maintain, secure, or support the Platform.

Where personal data is transferred outside the United Kingdom, or outside the regional version of the Platform associated with your account, we will ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place as required by applicable data protection laws. These safeguards may include:

• Standard Contractual Clauses with the ICO-approved UK Addendum

• International Data Transfer Agreements

• Transfers to jurisdictions recognised as providing an adequate level of data protection

• Other lawful transfer mechanisms or exceptions permitted under applicable law

For more information about transfers and safeguarding measures, please contact us.

Data Security

Your information may be stored on servers owned and operated by Psychology Tools, its subsidiaries, and its affiliates or by cloud/software service providers (“SaaS Services”). Our SaaS Services are committed to: (i) using industry-standard physical, electronic, and organisational safeguards to protect information against loss or theft as well as unauthorised access and disclosure; (ii) protecting individuals’ privacy; and (iii) employing security techniques to protect such data from unauthorised access.

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. Our measures include implementing appropriate access controls, investing in the latest information security capabilities to protect the IT environments we leverage, and ensuring we encrypt and anonymise personal data wherever possible. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know and is subject to strict contractual confidentiality obligations when processed by third-parties. They will only process your personal data on our instructions, and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so. However, it must be noted that “perfect security” does not exist today. If you are concerned that your privacy may have been breached, please contact us using the contact information provided in this Privacy Policy.

Data Retention

We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. No purpose in this policy will require us to keep your personal information for longer than reasonably necessary.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

In some circumstances you can ask us to delete your data - please see below for more details.

In some circumstances we may anonymise your personal data (so that it becomes Aggregated Data and can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

Your Legal And Privacy Rights

You have the right to:

1. Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a “data subject access request”). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.

2. Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.

3. Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (please see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.

4. Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this basis as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate interests to process your information which override your rights and freedoms. This includes the right to object to processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes, including where we have obtained your personal data from third-party sources.

5. Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios: (a) if you want us to establish the data’s accuracy; (b) where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it; (c) where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or (d) you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate interests to use it.

6. Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.

7. Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products/services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.

You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.

We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it may take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.

Additional Regional Privacy Rights

Depending on your location, you may have additional privacy rights under applicable local laws, including laws in the United States, Canada, and other jurisdictions.

Where applicable, additional information about jurisdiction-specific privacy rights, disclosures, and how to exercise those rights is provided in the following supplementary notices:

• Canadian Privacy Rights Addendum

• US Privacy Rights Addendum

These supplementary notices form part of this Privacy Policy and should be read together with this section.

Where there is any inconsistency between this section and a jurisdiction-specific supplementary notice, the supplementary notice will apply to individuals located in the relevant jurisdiction to the extent required by applicable law.

Where such access constitutes an international transfer of personal data, we will ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place in accordance with applicable data protection laws.
