The legal basis we rely on to process personal information
In order to comply with data protection legislation, we need to keep a register of the full range of personal information that we hold and on this register we also must state the legal basis which allows us to hold this information. The law on information protection sets out a number of different bases on which an organisation may collect and process your personal information, including:
Consent
In specific situations, we can collect and process your information with your explicit consent.
Performance of a contract
In certain circumstances, we need your personal information in order to perform a contract that we have entered into with you.
Legal Obligation
If the law requires us to, we may need to collect and process your information. We may also need to pass your information onto a third party if required by law.
Legitimate interest
In specific situations, we require your information to pursue our legitimate interests in a way which might reasonably be expected as part of running our business and delivering our services.
Who has access to your information?
Within Inspire Wellbeing, access is only available to those who need this information in order to provide a service to you or to fulfil the contract that we have with you. Access may be required by support departments within Inspire Wellbeing, such as ICT, Administration and Finance, as well as those involved in the direct delivery of services to you.
Third Party Providers/Partners that we work in association with
We work closely with various third party providers such as the health professionals, social services, Health Trusts or the Health Service Executive. This is necessary to ensure that we have a range of quality and reliable services designed to meet the needs of our Service Users. The relevant third party provider will use your details to provide Inspire Wellbeing with information and carry out both our and their obligations to you when using the services. In some cases, they will be acting as a data controller of your information and therefore we advise you to read their Privacy Policy. These third party providers/partners will share your information with us which we will use in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
Third Party Service Providers working on our behalf
We may pass your information to our third party service providers, agents, subcontractors and other associated organisations for the purposes of completing tasks and providing services to you on our behalf for example:
ICT support providers
The media - when arranging for you to speak to media outlets (with your consent)
Any member of our group of companies (this means the Inspire Group and all its subsidiaries) insofar as reasonably necessary for the purposes, and on the legal bases, set out in this policy.
Our insurers and/or professional advisers insofar as reasonably necessary for the purposes of obtaining or maintaining insurance coverage, managing risks, obtaining professional advice, or the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, whether in court proceedings or in an administrative or out-of-court procedure.
In addition to the specific disclosures of personal data set out in this Section, we may disclose your personal data where such disclosure is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject, or in order to protect your vital interests or the vital interests of another natural person. We may also disclose your personal data where such disclosure is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, whether in court proceedings or in an administrative or out-of-court procedure.
However, when we use third party service providers, we disclose only the personal information that is necessary to deliver the service and we have a contract in place that requires them to keep your information secure and not to use it for their own direct marketing purposes.
Please be reassured that we will not release your information to third parties beyond Inspire Wellbeing, unless you have requested us to do so, or we are required to do so by law, for example, by a court order or for the purposes of prevention of fraud or other crime.
How long do we keep your information for?
As long as necessary for the purpose/s it was collected for or for as long as we are legally required to.
This will vary depending on the type of information, legal requirements or other justifications permitted by Data Protection law. We have a Retention & Disposal Procedure which sets out retention periods. If you opt-out from fundraising communications we keep your information only to ensure we don’t inadvertently contact you.
We review our retention periods for personal information on a regular basis. We are legally required to hold some types of information to fulfil our statutory obligations. We will hold your personal information on our systems for as long as is necessary for the relevant activity, or as long as is set out in any relevant contract you hold with us.
How you can access and update your information
The accuracy of your information is important to us. If any of your information that we hold is inaccurate or out of date, please notify us.
You have the right to ask for a copy of the information that Inspire Wellbeing hold about you. This is known as a Subject Access Request and we have 30 calendar days to comply with such a request. There is no charge.

Ask us not to process your personal information for fundraising or our marketing of Inspire. If you wish to do this, please contact the Data Protection Officer.
