| Lawful basis for the processing | Generally, we process personal data on the basis that the processing is necessary for purposes of our legitimate interest in conducting our business in a manner typical for a healthcare consultancy, having taken into account any risks to your fundamental rights and freedoms (including your right to privacy).
We also may process personal data on other bases permitted by the GDPR and other applicable laws, such as when the processing is necessary for us to comply with our legal obligations. |
| The legitimate interests of the controller or third party, where applicable | Our specific legitimate interests, such as improving the Website, providing you with support, service or products, processing and responding to any employment application, are described in Sections 2 and 3 of this Privacy Notice. |

When you provide your personal data to us via the Website or by contacting us by e-mail, you are providing your personal data directly to the USA.

This does not affect your right to request that we delete your personal data before the end of its retention period. We may archive personal data (which means storing it in inactive files) for a certain period prior to its final deletion, as part of our ordinary business continuity procedures. |
| Your rights to access, correct, restrict or delete your personal data and object to processing | You have the right to request access to your personal data, to have your personal data corrected, restricted or deleted, and to object to our processing of your personal data. Your rights may be subject to various limitations under the GDPR.

The GDPR’s data portability rights are not relevant to the kinds of processing that we do. |

The data protection authority for the United Kingdom is the Information Commissioner’s office (www. ico.org.uk). |
