5.1 As a customer of Randox, we will collect what is known as personal data about you. Personal data is information from which you, as an individual, can be identified. This policy outlines how the relevant Randox company you interact with will use, store and protect any personal data that you provide or that we otherwise hold about you.
5.2 Where you are an NHS worker, or have otherwise obtained your COVID 19 test through the NHS, the relevant Randox company collecting your personal data and providing the testing is Randox Labs. Randox Labs acts as what is called a processor of personal data on behalf of the UK Department of Health and Social Care (the DOH). This means that the DOH is the organisation that decides the purposes for which your personal data is used and the way in which it is processed, and Randox Labs acts on its behalf, and in accordance with its instructions, as a service provider. The relevant DOH privacy policy is available here: https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/department-of-health-andsocial- care/about/personalinformation-charter. Where you have obtained your COVID 19 test privately, then the relevant controller of personal data (i.e. the organisation that decides the purposes for which and the way in which your personal data is dealt with) will be Randox Health.
5.3 Unless indicated otherwise, this policy sets out how Randox will use, store and protect any personal data we collect or generate about you for both private tests and public tests.
5.4 The personal data we collect or hold about you
We will collect personal data as part of our online testing kit registration process. Registration is essential for all testing and reporting of results to proceed, and it is essential that you complete these details, and confirm your acceptance of this policy, personally.
The information we collect during registration includes:

5.6 Once your swab sample has been returned to us, and it has been tested for COVID 19, our systems will automatically generate a report which shows our findings (the Report). This Report will include some of the personal details that you have provided to us about yourself. We will also hold this information in a centralised database. Please note that there are limitations inherent in the sample collection and testing process, detailed in the test instructions that were provided to you when you received your test kit. It is important that the personal data we hold about you is accurate and current, and we cannot be held responsible for incorrect data that is provided by you. Please keep us informed if your personal data changes during your relationship with us. If you fail to properly provide all requested data or provide incorrect data we may be unable to provide testing or notify you of your results. There is also a risk that third parties could be inadvertently provided with your data if, for example, you have not correctly entered your email address, or your email servers are compromised.
How Do We Use That Information?
5.8 We will only use your personal data when the law allows us to. Most commonly, we will use your personal data on one or more of the following grounds:
- Where we need to perform the contract that we have entered into with you (in the case of Randox Health in respect of private tests).
- Where it is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests.
- Where we need to comply with a legal obligation (including the terms of our contract with the DOH, in the case of Randox Labs in respect of NHS tests).
5.9 We do not rely on consent as a basis for processing your personal data, unless you have requested a private COVID-19 test from Randox Health, in which case you may withdraw your consent to processing at any time by contacting us at dpo@randox.com.
5.10 Where we are using your personal data that identifies your health data, we are doing that either on the basis of your explicit consent, your vital interests, for public interest, medical diagnostic reasons or preventative or occupational health reasons. Generally, Randox will use the data you provide to test your swab samples for COVID-19 and notify the results to you as the registered user of the kit via the Report. A copy of the Report will be sent by email to the email address you provided to us when you signed up through our registration portal.
5.11 After your sample has been sent to us, please make sure to regularly check your emails (including any junk or spam folder) for any email attaching the Report. Please note that we are not responsible for the security of any domains in respect of email addresses you have given us. If you believe you have received a Report in error, please contact us at COVID19@randoxhealth.com immediately. Additional information, including home address, is necessary for notifying the relevant public health or other Government authorities of the results of your test, if we are requested to do so.
5.12 Personal data required for COVID-19 testing (including test results) is held on controlled computer systems. Currently, our registration portal is securely maintained on Microsoft Azure via Microsoft’s UK-based servers in accordance with their standard terms and privacy policy, which are available at: https://www.microsoft.com/enie/trust-center/ product-overview.
