4.2. Information about why we process the above personal data and the lawful basis we rely on is set out in sections 6 and 7 below.
4.3. The Extension will require read access to the Patient Management System web pages that you visit in order to retrieve the relevant patient record from the Limbic database, this will allow you to view Limbic patient data within the Extension.
Limbic patient data consists of data collected from patient users in accordance with their use of Limbic tools, Limbic Access and Limbic Care, Limbic patient data is collected in line with the following policies https://policies.limbic.ai/access-p & https://www.limbic.ai/care-privacy.
We process this data based on the legal basis of Performance of a contract, the processing is necessary for fulfilling our contractual obligations with the healthcare service. The Limbic Extension collects the authentication token and record matching data (Patient name, NHS number, date of birth, postcode, gender, email address, phone number) directly from the web pages you visit. Read access to other data is incidental and not collected, used, stored, or processed beyond what is necessary for retrieving the correct Limbic records.

We only process data which is adequate, relevant and limited to what is necessary to fulfill the purposes set out in this notice (also known as the 'data minimisation' principle). Where you are invited to input data into the Extension, you should only provide data which is relevant and necessary.
4.5 The Extension is designed to search for specific tokens within patient record systems. In the course of this process, it may inadvertently access information related to children under the age of 13 or information regarding criminal convictions and offenses if such information is stored in the patient record system. If the Extension does not find a valid Limbic token, any information accessed during this process is handled locally and is not stored or processed outside of the local machine.
