Privacy Notice for Enquirers

This privacy notice tells you about the information we collect from you when you submit an enquiry to us as a Patient, Carer or Relative, Clinician or Insurer to our website enquiry form, via our Facebook page, or by way of a call or email or request for information through your NHS doctor.

In collecting your information we are acting as a data controller and by law we are required to provide you with information about us, about why and how we use your data, and about the rights you have over your data.

GenesisCare UK is a trading name of Genesis Cancer Care UK Limited (GenesisCare). We are a specialist, provider of cancer care diagnostic and treatment services in the UK. Our company registration is 05796994 and our registered office is Wilson House, Waterberry Drive, Waterlooville, Hampshire, PO7 7XX. GenesisCare is registered with the Information Commissioners Office, registration number Z9493925.

You can contact us in a number of ways and your email, message or call will be directed to the GenesisCare Enquiry Team.

Website Enquiry Form: When you submit an enquiry to us on the website we ask you for your name, telephone number, your email address and postcode.  We ask for your preferred Centre location, the category of your enquiry, whether it is a medical enquiry and whether you have medical insurance.  We also ask which service you require and a brief description of your enquiry.  We ask whether you prefer to be contacted by telephone or email and ask you to confirm you have read this Privacy Notice.  If we try to contact you by phone (mobile and/or landline) and you are not available, we may leave you a discrete voicemail message asking you to call us. Please tell us in the free text box [“How can we help?”] if you do not wish us to leave a voicemail message.

Facebook Messenger: If you submit an enquiry via Facebook Messenger we will ask for your name, email address and telephone number.  Your message will be seen by our Marketing Team who will pass it to the Enquiry Team who will contact you.

GenesisCare telephone:  If you call us using the main number, or if you call a GenesisCare Centre and select Option 1, or if you are responding to a specific awareness initiative, our Enquiry Team will be available to help.  If this is out of office hours your call goes to answering machine and the team will respond to your voicemail the following working day.

Unless the call is directly answered by the Enquiry Team, a Team member will make contact in the way you have requested.

When we speak to you we will ask for confirmation or further details of your personal data, which will include: your name, address, postcode, email address, contact telephone number/s, date of birth, your sex and whether you have medical insurance.

We will also discuss your special category personal data in relation to your enquiry as appropriate.

We will use your information to respond to your enquiry and to provide you with information and options and/or action you need.  This may include referring you to the GenesisCare Cancer Concierge.

The Cancer Concierge is a triage for direction only and will discuss your health and care in relation to selecting the correct pathway; relevant to this will be the best location for you.  The pathway may be an appointment into a Centre, a Clinic or at a Partner hospital.

The Enquiry Team may sometimes act as the Cancer Concierge if the volume of calls requires it.

The Enquiry Team will ask if it is acceptable to make a follow-up communication to ensure that you have received the service you sought and to check that you are happy with the outcome.  You do not have to agree to receiving follow up contact from us.

If you do agree the Enquiry Team will ask how they might do this, e.g. by phone, email or other method.  You will also be asked if voicemail messages can be left for you.

We may also use your information for reporting enquirer to registration analysis and service improvement purposes.

We will not use the information to make any automated decisions that might affect you.

The table below provides you with information you require under GDPR.
