General Data Protection Regulations
New General Data Protection Regulations come into effect on 25th May 2018. This updated legislation means we have to ask everyone we hold identifiable details for to ‘opt in,’ so we can hold your details on our database. Below is the link for you to ‘opt in’. You can choose what you would like to receive from us (similar to the type of information that you already receive). ‘Opting in’ gives us your consent to send you information. If your consent is not received, then your details will be removed from the Healthwatch Tameside database and you will no longer receive information. You can change your mind at any time, by contacting us on 0161 667 2526 or through our website at https://www.healthwatchtameside.co.uk/content/contact.
