4 Types of Data Held

5 Collecting Your Data
We may receive your data from several different sources, including:
- when you speak to or meet us, for example on the phone or at a conference
- when you contact us or provide us with your details, for example by attending an event that we participate in or organise, through a social media platform such as LinkedIn, Instagram or X (Twitter), or through our website, by email or post
- through our website, which uses cookies as described in our cookie policy
- if a third party introduces you to us.
6 Lawful Basis for Processing
If we receive your details through one of the channels set out above, we will store your personal data and use it to send you information about Lucida Medical, on the basis that you have consented to receive information from us. You may withdraw your consent at any time by e-mailing or contacting us.
If we have a contract with you or your employer, or work on a business proposal that may lead to a contract, we may use and store your information, and may contact you by phone, e-mail or post, in connection with the contract or proposal on the basis of our legitimate interest and to meet our legal obligations. For example, we may contact you about a project, and store information about the project or contract in our e-mail, accounting and legal records.
If we are in touch with you for our business, for example as a current, potential or former customer, investor, supplier or business partner, we may also use and store your information, and contact you by phone, e-mail or post, in connection with this business relationship on the basis of our legitimate interest to do business with you and to meet our legal obligations.
7 Protecting, Sharing and Holding Your Data
We take reasonable steps to protect your data from unauthorised use, disclosure or loss. We have a data processing agreement in place with any third parties we use to process your data under our instructions, to ensure data is protected.
We may employ other companies to provide services for us, for example e-mail, cloud storage, backup and project sub-contractors. With reasonable safeguards, these companies may have access to personal data needed to perform their functions and not for any other purpose. If our business is merged with or acquired by another company, your information may be disclosed to our new partners or owners.
We primarily store and process personal data in the UK and EU. However, in some cases we may transfer your personal information outside of the UK and the EU, and in these cases we ensure it receives additional protection as required by law. To keep this privacy notice as short and easy to understand as possible, we haven’t set out the specific circumstances when each of these protection measures are used. You can contact us for more detail on this.
We will retain information for a reasonable period, or as long as required by law, bearing in mind the nature of the information and the purposes for which we hold it.
8 Automated Decision Making
Automated decision-making means making decision about you using no human involvement e.g. using computerised algorithms or programmes.
We do not presently undertake any automated decision making with personal data received in connection with this privacy notice.

You can always contact us to ask us about our privacy policy, use or processing of your data, or if you have an objection. You also have the right to access the information that we hold about you, and the right to request that this information is corrected, deleted, restricted, or transferred to another organisation. You can exercise these rights at any time by contacting us.
Where you have provided consent to our use of your data, you also have the right to withdraw that consent at any time by contacting us. In some cases, for example where we have contractual or legal obligations or if we have to retain some of your data to meet your requests, we may still continue to process your data, and we will explain the reasons for this as part of our response.
