In relation to care services, we may also have obtained personal data from one or more of the following:

Group entities are required to take appropriate security measures to protect your personal information in line with our policies.

10. TRANSFERS TO OTHER COUNTRIES OR TO INTERNATIONAL ORGANISATIONS
We transfer your personal information to entities in our group in the EU and we may also transfer this information outside the EU. If we do, you can expect a similar degree of protection in respect of your personal information as in the UK and the EU.
11. WILL THE INFORMATION BE USED FOR AUTOMATED DECISION MAKING OR PROFILING?
You will not be subject to decisions that will have a significant impact on you based solely on automated decision-making, unless we have a lawful basis for doing so and we have notified you.

13. RIGHTS OF ACCESS, CORRECTION, ERASURE, AND RESTRICTION

You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal information (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request for access is clearly unfounded or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with the request in such circumstances.
We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access the information (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is another appropriate security measure to ensure that personal information is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it.
