Technology Providers

FTC Vets Ltd uses carefully selected technology providers to operate the MyVetScript platform. These may include services used for:

  • Website hosting
  • Jotform (online triage questionnaires)
  • Make (workflow automation and secure data integration)
  • Microsoft 365
  • Payment processing

These providers receive only the information necessary to perform the services for which they have been engaged.

Information submitted through the MyVetScript platform is collected by FTC Vets Ltd. Where a request is referred for clinical assessment, the relevant information is securely transferred via Make to MR Vet Ltd.

Once received by MR Vet Ltd, the information is processed within MR Vet Ltd's clinical practice management system (Cliniko) in accordance with the MR Vet Ltd Privacy Policy. Cliniko is used solely by MR Vet Ltd as part of the provision of veterinary services and is not operated by FTC Vets Ltd.

Where third-party technology providers process personal information outside the United Kingdom, such processing will be subject to appropriate safeguards in accordance with UK data protection legislation.

 

Regulatory Authorities

Where required by law or professional obligations.

 

Payment Information

FTC Vets Ltd does not collect or process consultation fees for veterinary services.

Where a client is invited to proceed with a consultation, payment for veterinary consultations is made directly to MR Vet Ltd.

The veterinary practice is responsible for securely processing consultation payments in accordance with its own policies and the policies of any payment service providers it uses.

 

Data Retention

FTC Vets Ltd retains personal information only for as long as necessary to operate the MyVetScript platform, administer requests, provide customer support, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes and protect its legitimate business interests.

Where your request is transferred to MR Vet Ltd for clinical assessment or a veterinary consultation proceeds, MR Vet Ltd will retain personal and clinical information in accordance with applicable legal, regulatory and professional obligations, including the requirements of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS) and UK data protection legislation.

Where information is no longer required, it will be securely deleted or anonymised in accordance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

 

Data Security

Reasonable technical and organisational measures are implemented to protect information against:

  • Unauthorised access;
  • Loss;
  • Misuse;
  • Alteration; and
  • Disclosure.

Whilst we implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal information, no method of electronic transmission over the internet or electronic storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

 

International Transfers

We primarily process and store personal information within the United Kingdom.

Where we use carefully selected third-party service providers that process personal information outside the United Kingdom, or where personal information is transferred internationally, we will ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place in accordance with UK data protection legislation. These safeguards may include the use of an adequacy decision issued by the UK Government, the UK International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA), the UK Addendum to the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses, or other lawful transfer mechanisms.

We take reasonable steps to ensure that any organisation processing personal information on our behalf maintains appropriate standards of security, confidentiality and data protection.

 

Automated Decision Making

MyVetScript uses an online questionnaire and eligibility screening process to collect information relevant to your request for a veterinary prescription consultation. This information assists in determining whether a request may be suitable for clinical review.

MyVetScript does not use automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal effects or similarly significant effects for individuals. No automated system determines whether a veterinary consultation will be offered or whether a prescription will be issued.

All decisions regarding the acceptance of a case, the provision of a veterinary consultation, prescribing decisions and any other clinical matters are made by a suitably qualified veterinary surgeon acting on behalf of MR Vet Ltd following an individual clinical assessment.

Subject to applicable law, you may have the right to:

  • Access your personal information;
  • Correct inaccurate information;
  • Request deletion of information;
  • Restrict processing;
  • Object to processing;
  • Request transfer of information; and
  • Withdraw consent where processing relies upon consent.
