International transfers

Many of our external third parties are based outside the European Economic Area (EEA) so their processing of your personal information will involve a transfer of data outside the EEA.Whenever we transfer your personal information out of the EEA, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:

We will only transfer your personal information to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal information by the European Commission.
For further details, see European Commission: Adequacy of the protection of personal information in non-EU countries.

Where we use certain service providers, we may use specific contracts approved by the European Commission which give personal information the same protection it has in Europe.
For further details, see European Commission: Model contracts for the transfer of personal information to third countries.

Where we use processors in countries outside of the UK and EEA, we first see if they have a adequacy decision from the EC, which means data subjects whose data are processed in those countries enjoy the same level of protection as in the EU. If no adequacy decision exists, we ensure those same levels of protection are in place through legal transfer mechanisms such as Standard Contractual Clauses or the UK’s International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA).

Please contact gdpr@hollandandbarrett.com if you want further information on the specific mechanism used by us when transferring your personal information out of the EEA.

 

H&B health services

Our services online and through mobile apps empower you to better understand your health and wellness. Using technology, subject matter experts and helpful tips and recommendations, the app works to help you achieve your wellness goals.

H&B &Me analyses your health and lifestyle data in order to support wellness goals, for example, it calculates your biological age, and monitors activities such as sleep and exercise to present insightful trends.

To deliver the service, we need to collect a wide range of health data about you. H&B only uses the health data collected to provide this service, and we never sell or share this information with third parties that are not participating in the delivery of the service.

If you book a blood test through us we will share personal information, limited to only that which is strictly necessary, with the third party qualified nurses who collect the blood samples on our behalf.

Where we partner with other companies, such as a laboratory for testing samples & technical for calculations of biological age and tracking, the partner may have a legal or regulatory obligation to be an Independent Controller for some information provided. and may, as a result, have their own retention obligations they need to comply with for personal data.

To use The Service, you must have an account, which you can create inside the app. When you do this, we’ll ask you to give us consent so we can use your personal data for one or more specific purposes. We acknowledge that consent must be freely given, but without consent for processing your health information, delivery of the intended service will not be possible.

Withdrawing Consent

If you decide you want to withdraw your consent from the service, you can do this easily through the settings menu in the App. Withdrawing consent will result in the erasure of any data we hold about you, which we are not legally obliged to retain. If the option in our app exists to delete your data, this is also considered equivalent to withdrawing consent.

Where you receive emails about the service, they will have instructions on how to unsubscribe or withdraw consent.

Sharing Data to Deliver the Service

To deliver the service, we rely on partners that are experts in their field, such as phlebotomy (blood testing). When we enter into agreements with those partners, we put technical and organisational measures in place that ensure they only have the minimum data necessary to fulfil their purpose, and that the data is processed securely and in line their obligations under the agreement.
We share some data with partners that may operate under a legal requirement to process and retain personal data, and in those cases, they will be an Independent Controller, along with Holland & Barrett.

Extra protection for health data

Health Data is a ‘Special Category’ under the GDPR, meaning that we must consider carefully how we capture and use this data. Here’s what we do in a nutshell.

  1. We ask for your ‘Explicit Consent’. This means the requests collecting health data look different than other requests for consent. We want it to be clear when we are asking for any sensitive data and be sure to explain how we use it, and why we need it.
  2. Any partners we use in processing health data must pass our internal comprehensive security and compliance tests. We only share your data with leading companies in their field, and only when we are satisfied that they meet our standards.
  3. We commit to you that your data is never sold on, rented out, or shared with third parties for financial advantage. We respect that you’ve trusted us to do the right thing, so we’re committed to earning and retaining that trust.
