  • The right of access - Upon request, data subjects are allowed to see what data of theirs is being processed.
  • The right of rectification - If personal data held by organisations is incorrect; they have an obligation to correct it.
  • The right to erasure - Data subjects can demand that personal data held is deleted where there is no compelling reason for its ongoing storage.
  • The right to restrict processing – Data subjects have the right to request the restriction or suppression of their personal data. This is not an absolute right and only applies in certain circumstances.
  • The right to data portability - At the data subject’s request, their data must be moved to another processor.
  • The right to object - If a data subject does not like the way their data is being used, they can request that the use is stopped. This must then be stopped unless there is an overriding, legitimate reason to continue using it.

What is this Privacy Policy for?

This privacy policy is for Edify Ltd. The policy sets out how we use personal data and what data we publish or share with other organisations.


General data protection statement

Any personal information you share with us will be processed in accordance with the UK Data Protection Act 1998. Your data will be used for the purposes of managing the online training platform (i.e. providing you with secure access to the online diabetes education platform to complete your e-learning topics and access your reports, certificates and reflection documents). Access to your learning account is password protected and passwords are account specific.

If you have given us permission to do so, Edify will share your topic completion data with CamDiab to support the use of CamAPS FX. Edify will not share any identifiable, individual data with any third party. We may publish aggregated, anonymised data for audit and research purposes.

Edify will, from time to time, contact you (via email) to inform you of any changes or additions to the diabetes learning opportunities offered.

Edify has appropriate organisational and technical measures in place to look after your personal data and we will not keep it for any longer than is necessary.
