For the health and safety of the customers/visitors and staff at our buildings and venues, we are recording the name and contact details of people who enter to support NHS Scotland’s efforts in tackling COVID-19. This information will be used to enable NHS Scotland and statutory partners to contact you should you have been at a building or venue around the same time as someone who has tested positive for coronavirus. Contacting people who might have been exposed to the virus is an important step in stopping the spread.
Some of our services already capture customer data for appointments and bookings, and some of our services will start to operate appointments systems to manage customer demand as our services re-open. Where this is the case, we will also use names and addresses provided for booking for the purposes of Test & Protect for 21 days from the day of your visit, though we may retain your data for Council purposes for a longer time.
In order to assist in the containment of the virus, we will only share your data when it is requested directly by NHS Scotland and statutory partners. This will only be in the unlikely event there is a cluster of coronavirus cases linked to the venue you visited.
Where we don’t operate a customer bookings or appointments system for the purpose of delivering a particular service, participating Council venues who are capturing customer details either prior to arrival or on arrival are doing so only for the purpose of Test and Protect.
For further information on the NHS Scotland Test and Protect strategy please visit the NHS Inform website.
