Third parties

St Teresa’s Hospice will not share your details with a Third Party unless we have your explicit consent to do so. We do not give anyone else access to your information, in return for payment, for their marketing or commercial purposes.

When someone visits our website we use a third party service, Google Analytics, to collect standard internet log information and details of visitor behaviour patterns. We do this to find out things such as the number of visitors to the various parts of the site. This information is only processed in a way which does not identify anyone. We do not make and do not allow Google to make, any attempt to find out the identities of those visiting our website.

Where is your information stored?

Your personal data is held on secure servers operated by both St Teresa’s Hospice and agencies contracted by us. We carry out thorough checks to ensure those agencies we work with are fully compliant with data protection regulations.

Access to personal information

The Hospice will try to be as open as it can be in terms of giving people access to their personal information. Individuals can find out if we hold any personal information by making a ‘subject access request’ under the Data Protection Act 1998. If we do hold information about you we will:

• give you a description of it;
• tell you why we are holding it;
• tell you who it could be disclosed to; and
• let you have a copy of the information in an intelligible form.

To make a request to the Hospice for any personal information we may hold you need to put the request in writing addressing it to our Data Controller:
Data Controller
St Teresa’s Hospice
The Woodlands
Woodland Road
Darlington
DL3 7UA

If you agree, we will try to deal with your request informally, for example by providing you with the specific information you need over the telephone.

If we do hold information about you, you can ask us to correct any mistakes by, once again, contacting the Data Controller.
