Privacy notice - Thrive Paediatrics resource hub contributions

We are collecting case studies relating to wellbeing from members and other child health professionals, which will be published on the RCPCH Learning website. This page explains how the RCPCH uses any information you give to us and the way we protect your privacy and to comply with UK Data Protection legislation.

EEA and Swiss Residents

The College does not have an office outside the UK. To ensure the data rights of residents of the EEA and Switzerland, we have a dedicated page for EEA and Swiss residents, where you can find the in-country contact details for DataRep, who manage data requests for the RCPCH from residents of the EEA and Switzerland. 

Why do we collect this information?

We are collecting these stories so that we can build a repository of case studies for our Thrive Paediatrics resource hub. This is to create a learning resource for paediatricians to create change and help improve the wellbeing of our paediatric workforce. 

Under GDPR, we need to have a legal basis for processing your personal data. The legal basis for collecting your stories is:

"Consent" where you have given your informed consent for us to process your personal data.

Participation in this project is voluntary and you can withdraw your consent at any time by emailing thrive@rcpch.ac.uk

Who might we share your information with?

The information you provide will be uploaded to our Thrive Paediatrics resource hub on the RCPCH Learning platform. The hub will be accessible via RCPCH login details, so content will not be immediately available to the public. You do not, however, need to be a member of RCPCH to apply for a login.

Your contact details are solely for use by the Thrive Team and will be removed prior to uploading.

To provide some products and services we, or our data processors, may transfer and process information in countries outside of the UK. Some of these countries, such as those in the EEA, will have an officially recognised equivalent level of protection to the UK (adequacy decision). A list of these countries can be found via the ICO website. Where there is no adequacy decision, we will take all reasonable steps necessary to ensure that your information is protected by having in place a recognised safeguard with our partners and suppliers, such as regulatory approved Standard Contractual Clauses, Binding Corporate Rules or Codes of Conduct. 

To find out more about any specific uses of information in countries outside of the UK, or for further information about the safeguards that we have put in place, please contact the RCPCH Data Protection Officer: information.governance@rcpch.ac.uk.

Please note that websites can be viewed throughout the world and not just in the United Kingdom where UK law applies.

How long do we hold your information for?

RCPCH will only use your personal data for as long as you consent. As soon as you withdraw consent, we will delete the material or suppress your details. Please note that once media is in the public domain, it is outside the control of the RCPCH as to who sees, watches, listens and shares it.

Your rights

The conditions for use are outlined below.

You can also withdraw your consent at anytime by contacting thrive@rcpch.ac.uk and we will not process your data any further.

As well as the right to withdraw consent, you also have certain rights in regards to the data we hold about you.

To help you understand more about the information in this and all our privacy notices, see our page, Understanding GDPR and your data rights. This explains common words and phrases used in our privacy notices, describes our use of artificial intelligence (AI) and details the rights you have in relation to the processing of your personal data under UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR).
