Purpose and lawful basis for processing 

We need to keep a record of your organisation’s sign-up to the Better Records Together commitment, including the contact details provided when the commitment is made. We will use these details to contact you with updates about the commitment and any related Better Records Together activity. We will not publish your personal data when publicising that your organisation has signed up. 

The lawful basis we rely on for processing your personal data is article 6(1)(e) of the GDPR, which allows us to process personal data when this is necessary for the performance of our public tasks in our capacity as a regulator. 

What we need 

We will need your name, organisation and role, email address and where possible the details of a secondary contact at your organisation, which may be an individual or a general mailbox.  

What we do with it 

We’ll use your contact details to get in touch about the Better Records Together commitment and our wider work in relation to social care records. We will keep a record of your completed form indicating your organisation has signed up to the  commitment.  

How long we keep it 

We will retain a record of sign up to the commitment whilst we continue to publicise this as part of our regulatory response under Better Records Together. In relation to broader use of your contact details, for information about how long we hold personal data, see our retention schedule.
