Data input and sharing; data controllership(s)

A data controller determines the purposes and means of processing personal data, while a data processor is responsible for processing personal data on behalf of a controller.

Data input into the SBPP by SBUHB

  • SBUHB is the originating data controller for all the personal data it inputs into your SBUHB Patient Record within the SBPP.
  • Should you decide to share this information with another organisation (such as another Health Board) via SBPP, that organisation becomes a separate data controller for that information and that information will form part of your Patient Record managed by that organisation.  SBUHB remains a data controller for the original data input.
  • Should you decide to share this information with an induvial acting outside of an organisational context (such as a family member), SBUHB remains the sole data controller in these instances.
  • PKB does not take on data controllership of this information in relation to its contract with SBUHB. PKB acts as a data processor for this information.

Data input into the SBPP by yourself
