Data protection/privacy

The Voluntary Register does not sell or make available the details of the Register to commercial organisations or any third parties including the professional Bodies which make up the VRCT.

It will only use your contact details in order to contact you about matters concerning your registration and the Voluntary Register of Clinical Technologists.

It is a condition of your registration that you keep us informed of any changes to your details

VRCT is registered with the Information Commissioner's Office, reference number Z1257480 (Information Commissioner's Office website)

Requesting a copy of your application or registration details

The main route for requesting copies of personal information is under the Data Protection Act 1998 - where a Subject Access Request is the main mechanism.

To cover the costs of processing this request and making a copy, the VRCT charge you £10 for each set of information that you request. By law, we must provide this information to you in no more than 40 days.

If you want information about your registration or application, this is called making a ‘Subject Access Request’. To do this, you should write to us, stating clearly in your letter that you wish to make a subject access request. You need to provide your full name, correspondence address, date of birth, registration number (or application number if appropriate) and you must sign the letter. All details will be checked against the information that is already held. If your letter does not contain all of this information, or if you contact us by phone or email, we will not be able to process your request.

If we have any queries regarding a Subject Access Request, we will write back to you to ask for more information. This is to make sure that your registration or application information is not sent to anyone else.

Please note that any references relating to applications will remain confidential and the sole property of the VRCT
