Our Privacy Commitment

We’re committed to protecting the privacy and security of your personal data, only processing what’s necessary, and ensuring we strike the right balance between our business objectives and your privacy. We want to ensure you understand your rights and our responsibilities. We process your personal data:

  • Lawfully: Only if we can justify it on one of the GDPR’s Lawful Bases (see Lawful Bases table below).
  • Fairly and transparently: we strike the right balance between our interests and yours and we tell you what we do with your personal data.
  • For a specific purpose: we won’t use your personal data for another incompatible purpose unless the law permits or requires us to.
  • Using the least amount reasonably necessary.
  • Ensuring it is accuratecomplete and up-to-date.
  • For a limited time: Only for as long as reasonably necessary, and then we either destroy it or de-identify it so it can’t be linked back to you.
  • Securely: managing our people and designing our processes and technology to ensure end-to-end confidentiality, integrity and availability.
  • With your rights in mind: We make it easy for you to exercise your rights (see table below).
  • Within the UK/EEA: we don’t transfer your personal data outside the EEA except as permitted under Data Protection Law. We use appropriate safeguards to ensure consistent protection by third parties who support our work. Find out more in the Your Data At-a-Glance table below.
Lawful basis What this means
Consent You have given us permission, which you can withdraw at any time. We need your Explicit Consent to process sensitive data like health-related data (Special Data) or to transfer your Personal Data outside the EEA where we don’t have another basis for doing so, or for any Automated Decision Making (‘ADM’) that has significant legal or other effects unless an exception applies.
Legitimate interests To help fulfil a legitimate business objective (see the ‘We use this data to...’ column of the Your Data At-a-Glance table) after confirming we’ve only used what’s reasonably necessary and proportionate to meet that objective and struck the right balance between our interests and yours (LIA).
Contractual necessity To enter into or fulfil our contract, including to generate a quote.
Legal obligation To comply with the law (e.g. tax reporting).
Vital interests In rare instances where one of the others don’t apply but we need your personal data to protect your vital interests or those of another person. Highly unlikely.

Who can I contact with questions or complaints or to exercise my rights?

You can contact our Privacy Manager to ask questions, express concerns or exercise your rights via email to privacy@gamahealthcare.com or by phone at +44(0)20 7993 0030 . Find out more about your rights in the Your Data Rights table below. You have the right to make a complaint at any time to us or the ICO (www.ico.org.uk). We encourage you to contact us first so we can try to quickly resolve any concerns.

How do you get all of this information? Don’t you need my consent for all of this?

We get most information directly from you, for example when you fill out a form, or indirectly, for example when our recruitment agency recommends you as a candidate.

We only process your personal data where we have a ‘Lawful Basis’, like Legitimate Interests, Contractual Necessity, and Legal Obligation, and each one has stringent requirements that are as privacy-protective as Consent. See the Your Data at-a-Glance table for the Lawful Bases we rely on and the Lawful Bases table to learn what each Lawful Basis requires.

What about Third-Party Content?

Find out more about third parties we use to support our website by clicking on the ‘Manage cookie preferences’ link in the webpage footer. See the Your Data At-a-Glance table for other purposes.

We embed some third-party content on our website. To protect your privacy, we minimise what we share and prevent these third-parties from collecting personal data from you until you’ve either opted in or clicked on or shared embedded third-party content (unless the collection is strictly necessary to make our website work). For example, we have removed YouTube cookies from our embedded YouTube videos and blocked YouTube from collecting web visitor personal data unless the visitor has clicked to view content. YouTube prevents anonymous video playback, so if you click on a YouTube video, YouTube will collect data about your viewing activity, match it with other data Google has about your online activity, and transfer it outside the UK or EU, including to the US, where US intelligence authorities may access it.

You can manage what Google collects by changing your Google privacy settings. You can also enhance your online privacy by using a privacy-focused browser like Brave or Firefox, services like Ghostery and Privacy Badger and taking other steps outlined here.

Do you collect sensitive information, like my health data? Aren’t there restrictions on this?

Special Data’ like health-related information or information revealing your religion, ethnicity or sexual orientation, or biometric data used to identify you requires higher levels of protection.

We may collect information about your health, diseases you may have, medicines you may be taking and adverse effects you may have experienced in order to comply with our legal or regulatory obligations to monitor safety of our products, to manage and report adverse events, to carry out prevention and investigatory activities and to carry out administrative formalities, registrations, declarations and audits. This information may also be passed on to third parties in order to allow us to manage claims, including insurance claims.

We generally do not collect other types of “Special Data”. When we do collect any type of “Special Data”, we take extra steps to ensure we meet the additional conditions required under data protection law. We take extra measures to protect all types of sensitive information, including with strict access controls.

We may only use information relating to criminal convictions where permitted by law, and where truly required and appropriate for the role. We impose strict measures to protect this information in line with DBS guidance.

Below are additional conditions we may rely on to process your Special Data along with examples:

Special Data Conditions Examples
To fulfil legal obligations and exercise specific rights in connection with workplace health and safety and employment laws. Use information about possible COVID status or exposure; to provide adjustments for candidates.
To meet workplace diversity / equal opportunities requirements Use statistics about e.g. race, ethnicity, gender reflected in our workplace to monitor and achieve workplace diversity, equal opportunity / pay under equal opportunities laws.
To establish, exercise or defend legal claims To defend ourselves against a wrongful dismissal, personal injury or discrimination claim.
To protect your vital interests or those of another person Get the help of medical professionals, your emergency contact or bystanders in a life-threatening emergency (e.g. a severe allergic reaction, heart attack).
Where you have made the information manifestly public E.g. you are the public face of an advocacy group promoting LGBT rights (sexual orientation) or a religious community association (religion) or you publicly self-identify as such.

What happens if you can’t get this personal data?

If we can’t process this personal data, or if it’s inaccurate, it will be difficult to optimise your website experience. If we need it for our contract with you, we won’t be able to fulfil your order. And if we aren’t able to learn more about potential business customers, we may contact people with no interest in our products and services, while missing others who would be interested.

Read More

What information do you have about me? Why do you need it? What do you do with it?

The information we process about you will depend on our relationship and how we interact. For example, if you are a business customer we will have business contact information and information related to the products and services we provide. If you are a candidate, we will have information related to your application. We’ve described the types of data we collect in our Categories of Personal Data tables under the Your Data At-a-Glance tabs below and explained how and why we process your personal data in particular circumstances. For example, if you are Distribution Partner, view the Distribution Partner table under the Product Users tab for details.

Read More

Do you share my information outside of GAMA?

Sometimes we need to share your information outside GAMA, for example with vendors who support us. We seek out responsible vendors and partners that take GDPR compliance and privacy seriously. We limit what they can see and do with personal data to what’s necessary and ensure that any sharing is lawful and fair. We sign legally-binding agreements to maintain a consistent level of protection.

Read More

Do you use Automated decision-making (‘ADM’)?

ADM involves a computer making a decision without human involvement that could have significant legal or other consequences for you – such as using AI to make predictions about you. We don’t currently use ADM unless it is necessary to enter into a contract with you, it’s authorised by law or you’ve given us your explicit consent. In such cases we’ll inform you and let you know how to exercise your rights.

Read More

How do you strike the right balance when you rely on Legitimate Interests?

We conduct Legitimate Interests Assessments (LIA’s) whenever we rely on Legitimate Interests and, where appropriate, Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs). For example, the data we collect and analyse from your website visits is necessary for our legitimate interests (to keep our website updated and relevant and make it easier for you to navigate) or to identify businesses that may be interested in our services (prospecting for business development and lead generation). We only collect what is necessary and proportionate to our objectives, and we limit sharing. Our internal teams and external providers are all aware that they are not to re-purpose the data in ways that would be inconsistent with the original use.

Even so… it’s optional. You can object to these activities by opting out at any time. For example, click unsubscribe in our marketing emails or send us an email to privacy@gamahealthcare.com. In some cases, our legitimate interest may override yours and we will continue the activity. For example, to maintain the security of our website.

Read More

Is my personal data secure?

We’ve implemented measures to prevent your personal data from accidental loss, unauthorised use, access, alteration or disclosure. We’ve implemented safeguards to deal with any suspected data security breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a suspected breach where legally required to do so. Details of these measures are available upon request by contacting privacy@gamahealthcare.com.

Rectification Ask us to update, complete or correct your personal data at any time if you detect an inaccuracy. In fact, we encourage you to do so.
Portability Get any personal data you’ve given us in electronic form on the basis of Consent (or Contractual Necessity) in a common machine-readable format. We can also transfer it to a third party if you ask.

Restriction Suspend the processing of some of your personal data, for example if you want us to establish its accuracy or the reason for processing it.

This is to prevent personal data being disclosed to anyone who has no right to receive it. You can find out more about your rights by visiting the Information Commissioner’s Office website.
