What are your rights in relation to your personal data?
Under the Data Protection (Jersey) Law 2018, you have certain legal rights in relation to how your personal data is processed.
These are:
Under the new Data Protection law, you have the Right of Access to the personal data that we have collected and processed about you. This right includes both the right to know if we have collected personal data on you and also the right to see what personal data we have collected.
In most cases, it is likely that we would be able to deal with any requests to see personal data we hold on you in an informal way. For example, if a patient wanted to see a single, specific document or set of notes that had been made about them, this would be fulfilled at the time the request is made.
If a request is made to see lots of different documents or, for example, the information also contains the personal data of another individual, this is likely to be more complex and therefore requires a more formal request. This is known as a Subject Access Request.
If you wish to make a Subject Access Request this should be done in writing, either by post or email and can be sent to either of the following addresses:
Governance Team
Jersey Hospice Care
Mont Cochon
St Helier
