Introduction
Focus360 Limited (“Focus360”, “we”, “us”, “our”) is committed to protecting your privacy and handling your personal data lawfully, fairly, and transparently. This Privacy Policy explains: what personal data we collect; how and why we use it; our lawful bases for processing; how data is shared; how long data is retained; and your rights under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (“UK GDPR”) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

Who We Are (Data Controller)
Focus360 Limited is the data controller for personal data processed in connection with our Platform and Services.
Company name: Focus360 Limited

Where Focus360 processes data on behalf of an independent healthcare professional, we may act as a data processor (see section 7).
Important Clinical & Regulatory Context
Focus360 is a non-diagnostic, nurse-led digital screening and coordination platform. We do not provide medical diagnosis, treatment, prescribing, or clinical opinions. Screening outputs and reports are non-diagnostic and informational only. Clinical services are provided solely by independent regulated healthcare professionals under a separate contract between you and that professional. This distinction is critical to understanding how your data is used and shared.
