However, except in relation to Consent Withdrawal, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive, or, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.
We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your Personal Data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that Personal Data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.
We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it may take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.

All the Personal Data we collect, both from you and from third parties about you, is outlined below.
Before you continue, it might be useful to explain what "Personal Data" is. The GDPR definition of Personal Data can be found here. Essentially, it relates to: information about an individual, from which that individual is either directly identified or can be identified.
It does not include ‘anonymous data’ (i.e., information where the identity of individual has been permanently removed).
However, it does include ‘indirect identifiers’ or ‘pseudonymous data’ (i.e., information which alone doesn’t identify an individual but, when combined with certain additional and reasonably accessible information, could be attributed to a particular person).
We also collect, use and share "Aggregated Data" such as statistical or demographic data for any purpose. Aggregated Data may be derived from your Personal Data, but once in aggregated form it will not constitute considered Personal Data for the purposes of the GDPR as this data does not directly or indirectly reveal your identity. For example, we may aggregate your Behavioural Data to calculate the percentage of users accessing a specific website feature, or to understand whether and how use of our website may enhance your mood.
However, if we combine or connect Aggregated Data with your Personal Data so that it can directly or indirectly identify you, we treat the combined data as Personal Data which will be used in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
We only share Aggregated Data (i.e. anonymous data) with your employer(s) – for instance, they will be able to see whether their workforce is overall happy or when there are periods of stress, and whether use of the website is beneficial for their employees’ wellbeing. Your employer(s) will not have access to the data on your MyMindPal account or any User Generated Data.
We also use such Aggregated Data to understand our end-users, to develop the MyMindPal offering and to share the data with health professionals and researchers.
Through our website, and the services we offer, we may collect some "Special Categories of Personal Data" about you, if you provide such data in your User Generated Data.
Special Categories of Personal Data are data that include details about your race or ethnicity, religious or philosophical beliefs, sex life, sexual orientation, political opinions, trade union membership, information about your health and genetic and biometric data. Since you are able to upload details of your mood or mental state on the website (e.g. through the Happiness and Stress measures options), the data you provide us may contain data relating to your health or other Special Categories of Personal Data.
With your consent, we may also anonymise your Special Categories of Personal Data in an Aggregated Data format, in order to develop the MyMindPal offering and to share the data with health professionals and researchers.
With your consent, we share Aggregated Data that may include Special Categories of Personal Data with your employer(s), as further described in the "Aggregated Data" section above.
We do not share any of your Personal Data (including any Special Categories of Personal Data) with your employer.
We do not collect any information about criminal convictions and offences.
We will only use your Personal Data for the purposes for which we collected it as listed below, unless we reasonably 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 Data for an unrelated purpose, we will update this Privacy Policy and we will explain the legal basis which allows us to do so.
In respect of each of the purposes for which we use your Personal Data, the GDPR requires us to ensure that we have a "legal basis" for that use. Most commonly, we will rely on one of the following legal bases:
Where we need to perform a contract we are about to enter into or have entered into with you ("Contractual Necessity").
Where it is necessary for our legitimate interests and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests ("Legitimate Interests").
Where we need to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation ("Compliance with Law").
Where we have your specific consent to carry out the processing for the Purpose in question ("Consent").
Different grounds than those set out above are required by the GDPR to allow us to process your Special Categories of Personal Data. Most commonly, we will rely on one of the following grounds:
Where the processing is necessary to enable you to exercise your right to work in a safe workplace and to enable your employer’s reciprocal duty to provide a safe workplace to their employees ("Employment Ground").
Where the processing is necessary for the purposes of preventive or occupational medicine, the assessment of the working capacity of employees, medical diagnosis, the provision of health or social care or treatment, or pursuant to a contract with a health professional ("Healthcare Ground"). We will only rely upon the Healthcare Ground where the processing is done by, or under the responsibility of, a clinical psychologist (or other mental health professional subject to obligations of professional secrecy) and in accordance with English laws and/or rules established by a national competent body.
Where the processing is necessary for scientific research or statistical purposes, as further explained in the "Aggregated Data" section above ("Research Ground"). We will always ensure your Personal Data is anonymised when using it for research purposes.
Where we have your explicit and specific consent to carry out the processing for the Purpose in question ("Explicit Consent").
Generally, we do not rely on your Consent (or Explicit Consent) as a legal basis for using your Personal Data (including your Special Categories of Personal Data) other than in the context of direct marketing communications.
Where we need to process your Personal Data either to comply with law, or to perform the terms of a contract we have with you and you fail to provide that data when requested, we may not be able to perform the contract we have or are trying to enter into with you (for example, to provide you with the functionality of the website).
In this case, we may have to stop you from using our website with us but we will notify you if this is the case at the time.
We only share personal information with other companies or individuals in the following limited circumstances:
We have your consent.
Sharing the information with our subsidiaries, affiliated companies or other trusted businesses or persons for the purpose of processing personal information on our behalf. We require that these parties agree to process such information based on our instructions and in compliance with this Privacy Policy and any other appropriate confidentiality and security measures.
We have a good faith belief that access, use, preservation or disclosure of such information is reasonably necessary to:
(a) satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process or enforceable governmental request,
(b) enforce applicable Terms of Service, including investigation of potential violations thereof,
(d) protect against harm to rights, property or safety, of our users, us or the public as required or permitted by law.
We may share with third parties certain pieces of aggregated, non-personal information, such as the number of users by demographic. Such information does not identify you individually.
As permitted and described in the respective Terms Of Service of each of our services and in the My Mind Pal Legal Agreements.
In addition to the Personal Data that we collect directly from you (as described in the section immediately above this one), we also collect certain aspects of your Personal Data from third party sources.
We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your Personal Data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorized way, altered or disclosed.
We limit access to your Personal Data to those employees and other staff who have a business need to have such access. All such people are subject to a contractual duty of confidentiality.
We have put in place procedures to deal with any actual or suspected Personal Data breach. In the event of any such breach, we have systems in place to work with applicable regulators. In addition, in certain circumstances (e.g., where we are legally required to do so) we may notify you of breaches affecting your Personal Data.
We keep data in accordance with Guide to Data Protection – Principle 5 Retaining Personal Data, we retain all records while you have on-going services with us, if you do not have any services with us your data may be held for a period of up to 2 years. Unless a longer retention period is required by law (for example for regulatory purposes).
