Website privacy notice

East Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust is committed to protecting your privacy, in accordance with the Data Protection Legislation and will not use any information we may hold about you for any purpose other than that for which it was collected.

We do not automatically capture or store personal information through our websites. Under no circumstances is your data used for anything other than the purpose for which it has been collected.

This privacy policy only covers www.esht.nhs.uk. Other sites will have their own privacy policies and we cannot be held responsible or liable for how they may use your data.

At certain times you may be asked to complete information about yourself on our site, e.g., when filling in a form. This information will only be used for the purpose stated in each case. We will not distribute personal information collected in this way to any third party, other than in limited cases where it is bound by law to do so.

We may analyse statistical trends based on responses to forms etc. to help to improve services; however, this analysis will not include identifiable personal information.

Although we will always treat the information you provide with the strictest confidence, we cannot guarantee the security of the World Wide Web. It is possible, though very unlikely, that someone other than East Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust could access and read information sent to us in this way. If you feel concerned about this, please use another form of contact, e.g., telephone or post.
