A back up document is held of client names and contact details (name, email and telephone number).
In the event of a data breach which consists of a breach of security leading to destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure of or access to personal data, We understand the Office of the Data Commissioner must be notified within 72 hrs where it is likely to result in a risk to the rights and freedoms of individuals.

Consent for Minors

 

Where we are required to gather the personal information of a minor (defined as a person aged under 16 years), we will require the attendance and consent of a parent or guardian, and will only acquire and store such data with their permission, as well as the awareness of the minor themselves.

 

Where the parents of the minor are not in a position to provide such consent, the support of a recognized body will act ‘in loco parentis’ – for example the school principal, social worker or Gardai will be consulted with the medical professional in order to ensure that any such processing of personal data is being done in the vital interests of the minor. As much as possible, the minor will be made aware of the processing activity and its purposes.
