Privacy is the confidentiality of your personal information and it is of paramount concern to Windsor Pain Management Centre. We are registered with the Information Commissioner as required under the data protection laws in the United Kingdom and are committed to compliance with Data Protection legislation, Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) (Amendment) Regulations 2011 (UK Regulations) and medical confidentiality guidelines.

Disclosures and Transfers of Personal Information

Windsor Pain Management Centre does not sell or otherwise release your personal information to third parties to allow them to direct market their products and services to you.

Internet-based transfers

Given that the Internet is a global environment, using it to collect and process personal data necessarily involves the transmission of data on an international basis. This means for instance that data you pass to us may be processed outside the European Economic Area, although the data will always be held securely and in line with the requirements of UK data protection legislation.
