Privacy Policy

This privacy policy statement describes the privacy and processing arrangements for the Maternity Plan app commissioned by Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust and provided by the app developer.

We publish this policy to ensure everyone understands what happens to the data they enter into the Maternity Plan app. We treat all information in line with our legal responsibilities and recognise best practice standards and processes.

We respect the privacy of all who use the Maternity Plan app.

References to “Maternity Plan app”, “we” and “us” in this privacy policy refer to the joint data controllers for the Maternity Plan app commissioned by Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust (FHFT) and provided by the app developer.

Please click on the buttons below for more information on these topics:

No personal data is collected or processed by Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust or the app developer from the app.  The app data you choose to enter into the app and export to PDF is stored locally on your device and may not be accessed by a third party.  We do not store any of the data you may enter on your device.  The app is built so that any data you enter into it is encrypted and complies with all regulatory requirements to keep your data secure.

We use Google Analytics to collect and process anonymised data about how the app is used such as number of users using the app and pages visited within the app and length of visit.

More information about how Google processes this data can be found here.

We respect the privacy of all who use the Maternity Plan app.

However, you will also need to consider your privacy in the context of your family, friends and colleagues.  When thinking about your responsibility for the security of how you access the Maternity Plan app, points for you to consider include:

  1. Are you happy for any of them (your family, friends and colleagues) to be able to access your data?
  2. If you are and you provide them with access to your data the people you give access to will be able to see everything you can see and do everything you can do.
  3. If you choose not to share your data with family, friends and colleagues you will also need to consider:
    1. How you keep your device credentials e.g. password, PIN or unlock pattern secure.
    2. If there is shared access to the equipment used to access the Maternity Plan app what steps you can take to ensure that your data is not visible or accessible to someone who uses the shared device after you. Steps you can take include:
      1. Not using shared devices.
      2. Keeping your device password, PIN or unlock pattern private.
    3. You should also consider who can also view your data while you access the Maternity Plan app.

The data is stored on your device only so be aware that in the absence of a full backup, if you change or lose your device you will lose the data you have entered in the app.

We will use the anonymous information from the app analytics to understand how the app is used so we can consider improvements to the app’s design and content.
