Introduction

This document refers to personal data, which is defined as information concerning any living person (a natural person who hereafter will be called the “Data Subject”) that is not already in the public domain.

The General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) seeks to protect and enhance the rights of data subjects. These rights cover the safeguarding of personal data, protection against the unlawful processing of personal data and the unrestricted movement of personal data within the EU. It should be noted that GDPR does not apply to information already in the public domain. Moorhouse Care Services Limited (trading as Moor House) is pleased to provide the following Privacy Notice:
