Covid-19 Update: I have been requested to collect and keep staff, customers and client details and information temporarily for 21 days to assist the NHS ‘Test and Trace’ service.

This is a guide to the information that should be collected where possible:

Members of staff

The names of staff who work at the premises.
A contact phone number for each member of staff.
The dates and times that staff are at work

Customers and Clients
The name of the customer or client, If there is more than one person, then you can record the name of the ‘lead member’ of the group and the number of people in the group.
A contact phone number for each customer or client, or for the lead member of a group of people.
If a customer or client will interact with only one member of staff, the name of the assigned staff member should be recorded alongside the name of the customer.
Date of visit, arrival time and, where possible, departure time.

 

As you are aware I already routinely take appointments via a booking system which records the requested information. At this time this is voluntary, for customers and clients to share their details in order to support NHS Test and Trace, this information will only be used where necessary to help stop the spread of COVID-19. The aim is to help avoid a second spike as lockdown measures are eased. Therefore If you Do Not agree or want this specific information shared for the purposes of NHS Test and Trace, you can choose to opt out.

General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
The data that the Government is asking me to collect is personal data and must be handled in accordance with GDPR to protect the privacy of staff, customers and clients.

GDPR allows me to request contact information from staff, customers and clients and share it with NHS Test and Trace to help minimise the transmission of COVID-19 and support public health and safety. It is not necessary for me to seek consent from each person, therefore I am advising you why the information is being collected and what I intend to do with it.

As you are aware I already collect this information for ordinary business purposes, and wanted to make you, my customers and clients, aware that your contact information may now also be shared with NHS Test and Trace.

NHS Test and Trace will ask for these records only where it is necessary, either because someone who has tested positive for COVID-19 has listed my business as a place they visited recently.

NHS Test and Trace will handle all data according to the highest ethical and security standards and ensure it is used only for the purposes of protecting public health, including minimising the transmission of COVID-19.

I keep this Policy under regular review. This Policy was last updated in July 2020.
