Subprocessors

Last updated on

This page summarises material suppliers and subprocessors that support the Patient Watch service. It is intended to help organisational customers with due diligence, data protection impact assessments, and supplier records.

The exact suppliers used for a deployment may depend on the product configuration, notification channels, customer contract, region, and programme design. Where Patient Watch acts as a processor, the relevant controller remains responsible for deciding whether the listed suppliers are acceptable for its deployment.

Controls

Patient Watch maintains an internal supplier register that records the service provided, whether the supplier handles personal data, criticality, contract basis, assurance reviewed, and review dates.

Where a supplier acts as a processor or subprocessor, Patient Watch expects written terms or online data processing terms that include confidentiality, security, data protection, and incident-notification obligations appropriate to the service.

We review material suppliers at least annually and when a material supplier, contract basis, service, or data-protection position changes.

Changes

Where we intend to add or replace a subprocessor in a way that materially affects processing for an organisational customer, we provide reasonable prior notice through the agreed customer channel so the controller can raise reasonable data-protection-based objections.
