DATA PROCESSING TERMS

• INTRODUCTION: Euromedic is engaged, from time to time, in the provision of diagnostic scanning and imaging services (the "Services") for certain patients (the "Patients") of the subscriber to Portal, (the "Subscriber" or "You"). The results of the Services (the "Results") shall be made available to the Subscriber via the Portal (the "Site"). Euromedic and the Subscriber shall, in the course of their activities, collect, store and process Personal Data (as defined below) of the Subscriber's Patients and each recognises that such Personal Data, which may be held on paper, on computer or on other media, is subject to certain legal safeguards as specified in the Data Protection Acts 1988 and 2003 (the "Acts"). In particular, the parties acknowledge that the Acts impose restrictions on how Euromedic and the Subscriber may process such Patient Personal Data, and Euromedic and the Subscriber each recognise that a breach of the Acts could give rise to legal sanctions as well as bad publicity for the parties. Both Euromedic and the Subscriber respect the privacy rights of those Patients about whom they process Personal Data. In order to ensure a clear, compliant and consistent approach to each parties' obligations under the Acts, Euromedic and the Subscriber have instituted this schedule to the Portal Access Agreement (the "Schedule").
• DEFINITIONS: Terms used in this Schedule shall have the following meanings:
  • "Data Controller" means the Subscriber, being the party who either alone or with others, determines the purposes for and the manner in which its Patients Personal Data is processed.
  • "Data Processor" means Euromedic when it Processes Personal Data on behalf of the Subscriber to provide the Services.
  • "Data Subjects" includes all living and deceased individuals about whom Euromedic processes Personal Data for and on behalf of the Subscriber, which shall typically be Patients of the Subscriber whose data is processed by Euromedic in order to provide the Services.
  • "Personal Data" means data relating to an individual (whether living or deceased) who can be identified from that data (or from that data and other information in possession of the Subscriber, in its capacity as a Data Controller, and/or Euromedic, in its capacity as a Data Processor).
  • "Processing" is any activity that involves use of Personal Data, including obtaining, recording or holding Personal Data, or carrying out any operation or set of operations on the Personal Data including organising, amending, retrieving, using, disclosing, erasing or destroying it. Processing also includes transferring Personal Data to third parties.
  • "Sensitive Personal Data" includes information about a Data Subject's racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or similar beliefs, trade union membership, physical or mental health or condition or sexual life, or about the commission of, or proceedings for, any offence committed or alleged to have been committed by that person, the disposal of such proceedings or the sentence of any court in such proceedings. For the purposes of this Agreement and the Services, Sensitive Personal Data also includes Patient image and/or data files. Sensitive Personal Data can only be processed under strict conditions, generally requiring the express permission of the Data Subject concerned.
• PURPOSE OF SCHEDULE: This Schedule outlines the data protection principles which arise from Euromedic's Processing of Patient Personal Data on behalf of the Subscriber in order to perform the Services and provide the Results via the Site. It is a condition of provision of the Services by Euromedic to the Subscriber that each party and their employees and agents who are engaged in the Processing of Personal Data adhere to the requirements of this Schedule. Euromedic's Data Protection Compliance Manager (contactable at itsupport@euromedic.ie or 00353 1 6678888) is responsible for ensuring Euromedic's compliance with the Acts and with this Schedule, while the Subscriber shall be responsible for its compliance with this Schedule.
• PROCESSING: For the purpose of the Acts, the Subscriber shall be Data Controller with respect to the Personal Data it collects, retains, processes and/or discloses regarding its Patients. Euromedic shall be a Data Processor with respect to the Personal Data of the Subscriber's Patients which it processes in relation to the provision of the Services, for and on behalf of the Subscriber. As Data Controller, the Subscriber must ensure that Personal Data which it collects, processes and provides to Euromedic to process (as a Data Processor) for the purpose of the Services are: (a) obtained and processed fairly and lawfully; (b) accurate, complete and kept up to date; (c) obtained only for one or more specified, explicit and lawful purposes; (d) not further processed for incompatible purposes; (e) adequate, relevant and not excessive for those purposes; (f) not kept longer than necessary for those purposes; (g) processed in line with Data Subject's rights; and (h) kept safe and secure. The Subscriber shall have its own Patient database system to manage Patient appointment bookings, database maintenance and general management and processing of Patient records on behalf of the Subscriber (the "Subscriber Patient Records"). It is acknowledged that while Euromedic staff may be provided with access to the Subscriber's Patient Records by the Subscriber in order to perform the Services, such remain the property and responsibility of the relevant Subscriber and the Subscriber shall be the Data Controller with respect to such Subscriber Patient Records. Euromedic, as Data Processor, shall process the Patient Personal Data (including the Subscriber Patient Records) only for the purpose of the provision of the Services and otherwise in accordance with the Subscriber's instructions from time to time and shall not process the Patient Personal Data provided by the Subscriber for any purposes other than those expressly authorised by the Subscriber. As such the Subscriber acknowledges that Euromedic is reliant on the Subscriber for direction as to the extent to which Euromedic is entitled to use and process the Patient Personal Data provided by the Subscriber to Euromedic for the Services (particularly as such Personal Data is Sensitive Personal Data within the meaning of the Acts). For the avoidance of doubt, Euromedic shall not be liable for any claim brought by a Data Subject arising from any action or omission by Euromedic, to the extent that such action or omission resulted directly from the Subscriber's instructions to Euromedic. The types of Patient Personal Data that the Subscriber shall provide to Euromedic for Processing in relation to the provision of the Services include demographics and clinical details of the Patient along with low resolution images. Note these images are not the original images used for reporting on the patient and should not be used for any diagnosis of the patient.
• SECURITY: Patient Personal Data shall be disclosed to Euromedic by the Subscriber for the purpose of the provision of the Services. As a Data Processor Euromedic agrees to comply with this Schedule. The Acts require the Subscriber to put in place procedures and technologies to maintain the security of all Subscriber Patient Records and other Patient Personal Data from the point of collection to the point of destruction. Euromedic, in its capacity as a Data Processor, agrees that when Patient Personal Data (including the Subscriber Patient Records) are being processed by Euromedic on behalf of the Subscriber for the purpose of the provision of the Services, having regard to the state of technological development and the cost of implementing any measures, Euromedic will take appropriate technical and organisational measures against the unauthorised or unlawful processing of Patient Personal Data and against the accidental loss or destruction of, or damage to, Patient Personal Data to ensure a level of security appropriate to: (a) the harm that might result from such unauthorised or unlawful processing or accidental loss, destruction or damage; and (b) the nature of the data to be protected including, but not limited to, the security measures set out below. In the event of any loss of Patient Personal Data arising from the Services by the Subscriber or compromise of the Subscriber's access to Portal the Subscriber should contact Euromedic immediately.
• DATA SUBJECT ACCESS REQUESTS: Under Section 4 of the Acts, the Data Controller and Data Processor are obliged to provide, if requested, Data Subjects with confirmation as to whether Personal Data is kept about them, a description of the categories of Personal Data processed, a copy of such data in intelligible form, a description of the purposes behind the processing of the Personal Data, the identity of any third parties to whom the relevant party discloses or have disclosed the Personal Data, the source of the Personal Data and the logic involved in any automated decisions taken using the Personal Data. A formal request from a Data Subject for information about the Personal Data Euromedic holds about them in relation to the provision of the Services will be handled by the Data Protection Compliance Manager. The statutory fee of €6.35 will normally be charged before an access request is dealt with and access requests shall be complied with within 40 days of receipt of the request. Access requests shall be processed in accordance with the Acts and the Data Protection Act.
