Why We Need It
We are collecting your basic personal data such as name, address, telephone number, email address and other contact details in order to allow us to treat your animals, to record clinical findings, for identifying claim forms and other processes pertaining to insurance claims made on your behalf, and to communicate with you. We will only collect data that we need in order to provide and oversee this service to you.
Legal Basis For Processing Your Data
We must have a legal basis for processing all personal data. In this instance, the legal basis is to form a contract with you in order to treat your animals.
What We Do With It And Who We Share It With
All the personal data you submit is processed by staff at the Glasgow Equine Hospital in the United Kingdom. Your personal data may be shared with your own veterinary practice and/or with your insurer. If your animal has remedial farriery as part of its treatment your personal data will be shared with the farrier. The hospital provides clinical training for senior veterinary students; you accept that students, acting under appropriate supervision, will have access to your data.
How Long Do We Keep It For
Your data will be retained by the University for 7 years after your animal’s last visit to the hospital. After this time, data will be securely deleted.

You can request access to the information we process about you at any time. If at any point you believe that the information we process relating to you is incorrect, you can request to see this information and may in some instances request to have it restricted, corrected or, erased.
