What Special Category Data do we collect about you?
When we collect Special Category data, we will always have a clear legal basis to process this or your explicit consent. If we rely on your explicit consent, you can withdraw this at any time by contacting our DPM at info@eyecan.je.
Special Category data is any information relating to your health, gender, race, sexual orientation, sex life, genetic or biometric data etc.
An example of this processing would be sensitive information we collect about medical history and ongoing conditions for our long- and short-term residents and external users. We have a legal obligation to collect this information and to store it.
How We Will Use Information About You?
We will only use your personal information when the law allows us to.
Most commonly, we will use your personal information in the following circumstances:
You have entered a contract with us to provide you with a service;
We need to comply with a legal obligation; an example would be when we must comply with lawful authority to disclose information to the Police.
Where it is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third party), your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests. An example of this is when we send you updated information about a service you have had with us that we feel may be of interest to you.
Where you have given your consent to contact you for a specific purpose. An example of this will be when we collect your explicit consent for images of you to be posted on our social media platforms.
We may also use your personal information in the following situations, which are likely to be rare:
In an emergency, it is in your vital interest to share your information when we have it recorded. An example would be if there was an incident at our premises, and we had to provide emergency services with your personal data to assist you.
Change of purpose
We will only use your personal information for the purposes we collected unless we consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose.
If we need to use your personal information for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and explain the legal basis that allows us to do so.
Data Sharing
We do not pass on information gained from your engagement with us without a clear legal basis for doing so. However, we may disclose your Personal Information to meet legal obligations, regulations, or valid governmental requests.
We use certain third parties also known as Processors to provide or support our services. Processors are other organisations/services carefully chosen by EYECAN to process your information correctly and securely. We have appropriate agreements in place with those processors to ensure the safety of your information. We do not share your information with any processors for direct marketing purposes.
We ensure that your privacy rights are respected in line with this Notice and the same protection is given to your personal data as laid down by the DPJL.
Data Security
We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal information from being accidentally lost, altered, disclosed, or accessed in an unauthorised way. In addition, we limit access to your personal information to those Colleagues, Agents, Contractors, and other third parties on a need-to-know basis.
They will only process your personal information on our strict instructions, and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.
Details of these measures may be obtained from our Data Protection Manager (DPM).
We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected data security breach and notify you and any applicable regulator of a suspected breach where we are legally required to do so.
Data Retention
We will only retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including to satisfy any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.
To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your data, the purposes for which we process your data, and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means and the applicable legal requirements.
You can request our Data Retention Schedule from our DPM if required.
In some circumstances, we may anonymise your personal information so that it can no longer be associated with you, in which case we may use such information without further notice to you.
Rights of Access, Correction, Erasure, and Restriction
The personal information we hold about you must be accurate and up to date.
Please keep us informed if your information changes during your relationship with us.
Under certain circumstances, by law you have the right to:
Request access to your personal information (commonly known as a “data subject access request”). This right enables you to receive a copy of the personal information we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
Request correction of the personal information that we hold about you. This right enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected.
Request erasure of your personal information. This right enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us to continue to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal information where you have exercised your right to object to processing (see below).
Object to processing your personal information where we rely on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party). Something about your situation makes you object to processing on this ground. You also have the right to object to processing your personal information for direct marketing purposes.
Request the restriction of processing of your personal information. This right enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of personal information about you, for example, if you want us to establish its accuracy or the reason for processing it.
Request the transfer of your personal information to another party.
If you want to review, verify, correct, or request the erasure of your personal information, object to the processing or request that we transfer a copy of your personal information to another party, contact info@eyecan.je.
You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal information (or exercise any other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your access request is unfounded or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with the request in such circumstances.
How to request your information and what we may need from you
Email our DPM, detailing the data you wish to access. If you have any questions about this process or any of your rights, contact our DPM at info@eyecan.je.
We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access the information (or exercise any of your other rights).
We will respond to your request within 4 weeks and upon satisfactory verification of your identity.
Right to Withdraw Consent
In the limited circumstances where you may have provided your consent to the collection, processing, and transfer of your personal information for a specific purpose, you have the right to withdraw your consent for that specific processing at any time.
To withdraw your consent, contact info@eyecan.je.
Once we have received notification that you have withdrawn your consent, we will no longer process your information for the purposes you originally agreed to unless we have another legitimate basis for doing so in law.

We reserve the right to update this privacy notice at any time, and we will provide you with a new privacy notice when we make any substantial updates.
We may also notify you in other ways about the processing of your personal information or request you to confirm the accuracy of the information we hold on you.
