Privacy Policy

This privacy policy notice applies to all users (“you”) of our website and/or tablet/mobile application (“App”) (together, the “Platform”).

Carbs4Kids cares about the security of your information and uses commercially reasonable safeguards to preserve the integrity and security of all information collected through the website.

In the event that any information under our control is compromised as a result of a breach of security, Carbs4Kids will take reasonable steps to investigate the situation and where appropriate, notify those individuals whose information may have been compromised and take other steps, in accordance with any applicable laws and regulations.

This privacy notice tells you what personal information we collect and what we do with it. It applies to everyone who uses our Platform.

We ask for certain information such as your name, and e-mail address when you contact us or register through the website. All personal information of this nature when provided by you will not be disclosed by Carbs4Kids to any third party without your permission. Carbs4Kids may provide general statistical information to third parties, but such information will not allow anyone to be personally identified. We may also retain any messages you send through the website.

If you are not happy for your information to be used in the way described, and would like to withdraw your consent to process data, you should stop using the Carbs4Kids App and contact us by emailing info@carbs4kids.com or completing the enquiry form on our website at https://www.carbs4kids.com/contact. We will delete your data and revoke app access within 30 days of notice being given.

We also have a specific Children’s Code Policy which explains how we conform to the code and demonstrates that our services use children’s data fairly and in compliance with data protection law. The code is a set of 15 flexible standards that provides built-in protection to allow children to explore, learn and play online by ensuring that the best interests of the child are the primary consideration when designing and developing online services.

We may amend this Privacy Policy from time to time. By continuing to use the Carbs4Kids App you agree that the Privacy Policy at the current time shall apply to all information which we hold about you or your representatives.

We are required by law to tell you the legal basis that we are using for processing and using your data. These are GDPR articles 6 (1) (b) and 9 (2) (a):

UK GDPR Article 6 (1) (b):

“processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party…”.

UK GDPR Article 9 (2) (a):

“the data subject has given explicit consent to the processing of those personal data for one or more specified purposes”.

Sometimes we may be required to share information with regulators like the Care Quality Commission, the General Medical Council, NHS Digital, the Information Commissioner’s Office and the Health Service Ombudsman and in such circumstances, we will rely on Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR: “processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject”.

Consent can be withdrawn at any time either by using the contact us functionality within the Carbs4Kids website or by emailing us at info@carbs4kids.com.

If you have any questions about the use of your data, please use the enquiry form on our website at https://www.carbs4kids.com/contact.

Any such information is sent at your own risk, and you should therefore consider its sensitivity before transmitting it.
