How you can access your information
You have the right to request to object, to see, amend, move or erase the data we hold about you at any time. Full erasure of your records may not be possible due to healthcare professional indemnity insurance requirements, but efforts to anonymise and erase all unnecessary data, such as medical records that were sent to us, will be taken. If you would like to speak to us about this, please contact the Data Protection Officer, Denise Moore, for the Frenkel Topping Group, at the above address.
How long we keep your information for
Keystone Case Management Ltd will keep your information until our agreed work is completed. We will then close your file, but we are required to retain records of our involvement in your case for our Professional Indemnity insurers for eight years. For children, the requirement is until they are aged 26 (eight years past their 18th birthday). All identifiable information is removed at this point, but records of our involvement are retained and can be retrieved by the Data Protection Officer if required.
If you do not want us to keep or use your personal information, please write to us at the above address.
