1. Who we are
Staff GP Access ("we", "us", "our") provides an employee wellbeing service that helps UK businesses give their staff convenient access to GP support delivered by an independent third-party healthcare service provider. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share and protect personal data when you visit our website, request a quote, purchase a plan, or when your business uses our service.
For the purposes of UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018, Staff GP Access is the data controller of personal data collected through this website and through our business relationship with you. Our healthcare service provider acts as an independent data controller of clinical and consultation data created when an employee uses GP services.
