5. Our Legal Bases for Processing
Under GDPR, we must have a lawful basis for processing personal data.
Depending on the circumstances, we may process information because:

It is necessary to take steps at your request before entering into a contract or to perform a contract with you

It is necessary for our legitimate business interests, provided those interests do not override your rights and interests
-
We have your consent
-
Processing is necessary to comply with a legal obligation
Where we process special category personal data, including health-related information, we will only do so where an additional lawful condition under GDPR permits that processing.
The applicable legal basis will depend on the circumstances in which the information was provided and the purpose for which it is being used.
6. Healthcare and Sensitive Information
Some Elite Healthcare products and services require information about an individual's mobility, positioning, physical needs, care environment or other health-related circumstances.
We recognise that this information may be particularly sensitive and take appropriate measures to protect it.
We seek to collect only the information reasonably necessary to assess requirements, recommend appropriate solutions or provide the requested products and services.

We do not sell personal data.
Where necessary, information may be shared with trusted third parties that assist us in providing our products, services or website, including:

8. Website Forms
Our website uses online forms to allow visitors to contact Elite Healthcare, request information or make other enquiries.
When you submit a form, we may collect the information you enter, such as your name, email address, telephone number, organisation and the details of your enquiry.
Form submissions are sent to appropriate members of the Elite Healthcare team so that we can respond to your enquiry and provide the information or assistance you have requested.
Depending on the nature of your enquiry, the information you provide may subsequently be entered into our internal business systems as part of our normal customer and enquiry management processes.
Because some of our products and services relate to healthcare and individual care needs, information voluntarily provided in an enquiry may include health-related or other sensitive information. Please only provide information that is reasonably necessary for us to understand and respond to your request.
9. Analytics, Cookies and Google Tag Manager
We use Google Analytics 4 (“GA4”) to help us understand how visitors use our website. Google Analytics may collect information about how visitors interact with the website, including pages viewed, approximate location, device and browser information, traffic sources and interactions with website content.
Google Analytics is implemented through Google Tag Manager, which allows us to manage website tracking technologies and tags.
Where required by applicable law, analytics technologies will not be activated until you have provided the appropriate consent through our cookie consent system.
We use analytics information to understand website performance, identify how visitors find and use our website and improve our website, content and services.
Google may process information collected through Google Analytics in accordance with its own privacy terms and policies.
You can manage your preferences for non-essential cookies and analytics technologies through the cookie consent controls available on our website.
10. Advertising and Marketing Technologies
We may introduce additional advertising or marketing technologies in the future, such as Google Ads conversion tracking or the Meta Pixel.
If we introduce these technologies, we will update our privacy and cookie information as appropriate and obtain consent before activating non-essential advertising or marketing technologies where required by law.
We do not currently use website visitor information collected through these technologies for advertising unless such technologies have been implemented and the appropriate consent has been obtained.
11. International Data Transfers
Some technology and service providers used by Elite Healthcare may process or store information outside Ireland or the European Economic Area.
Where personal data is transferred internationally, we take appropriate steps to ensure that the transfer complies with applicable data protection law. This may include relying on an adequacy decision, Standard Contractual Clauses or another legally recognised transfer mechanism.
12. Data Retention
We retain personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected and to meet applicable legal, accounting, contractual and regulatory requirements.
Retention periods vary depending on the type of information and our relationship with the individual concerned.
When information is no longer required, we will take appropriate steps to delete, anonymise or securely dispose of it.
13. Data Security
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, loss or misuse.
However, no website, email system or method of electronic transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
