At Yorkshire Care Experts, we consider the safeguarding of our clients' personal information to be of paramount importance. Our practices are meticulously designed to ensure their privacy is consistently upheld. We operate under strict protocols concerning sharing our data, only with family or friends whose explicit permission has been granted. We may update clients' well-being or details about their care plan, which is always contingent upon their express consent. Furthermore, we actively ensure that their authorised family and friends are thoroughly informed on maintaining the security of the shared information.

When we use cloud storage for our clients' data, we guarantee its robust security and unequivocal compliance with the Data Protection Act. This commitment involves employing strong encryption protocols and stringent password protections. Access to their digital files is strictly limited to authorised personnel who require it to provide care. We also maintain a comprehensive contingency plan to manage unforeseen data breaches effectively. Should such an incident occur, we are equipped to act swiftly, conduct thorough investigations, and promptly notify the client and the relevant authorities.

We acknowledge the inherently sensitive nature of certain personal information and treat it with the highest degree of diligence. Data is only disclosed to external agencies when necessary for a client's care or when we are legally obliged to do so. In such collaborations, we establish formal agreements with these agencies to ensure the consistent protection of data. Internally, we enforce rigorous policies regarding access to their files and secure storage. All our staff undergo comprehensive training on properly handling sensitive information and the precise procedures to follow in the event of a data breach.
