Who do we share your data with?

Sometimes it is necessary for us to share your personal data with third parties. Your personal data is shared only when we consider it to be necessary and according to the safeguards, and for the purposes, detailed in this privacy notice. We will never disclose your data unless we have a lawful basis to do so.

We need to share your personal data with the Partner Prescribers (as defined in our Terms and Conditions), as well as other suitably qualified clinicians engaged by us, so they can carry out the analysis of your data needed to provide the services to you.  To ensure continuous care across the platform, your data will be available to both those clinicians providing diagnostic services, as well as clinicians involved in your Compound treatment more broadly, such as those who may prescribe you medication. This includes sharing some or all of the health data you provide.

Your GP

Where you have provided consent for us to do so and/or in accordance with legal and regulatory obligations & standards, we share your personal data with your GP for the purposes of providing them with information about your treatment.

We share your personal data with various third-parties that we rely upon to perform a variety of services on our behalf, and to help grow and improve the Compound business.  This includes third-party pathology providers, software providers involved in the transformation and presentation of your data and insights, IT service and cloud network providers, payment system operators, companies who provide marketing software that we use (eg, email and social media platforms), third parties who carry out identity checks on our behalf, our professional advisors, and any other organisations that provide us with technical and support services.

We will share personal data in certain circumstances with other companies across the group of companies that we and the Compound brand is part of.

We may share your personal data as required in order to help prevent fraud or to protect or enforce our rights or the rights of any of our group companies.

If it is proposed that we are to merge with or be acquired by another business in the future, we may share your personal information with potential purchasers, where this is necessary, or the new owners of the business or company.

Overseas transfers of personal data

From time to time, we may transfer your personal data to parties outside of the UK, e.g. to our group companies in Australia or to third party service providers with servers located in the United States, Europe or Asia.

Where we do so, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to your personal data as in the UK.
