Privacy Notice

Who we are

At Telford STaRS, we provide free advice and support to people living in Telford and Wrekin, who are affected by their own or someone else’s use of drugs or alcohol.

Telford STaRS is provided by Inclusion, as part of  Midlands Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust.

Who we share your data with

We may share your information with other organisations and individuals where it may benefit you and support your healthcare needs, or we are required to do so.

We will also share information as required by law, for example, to comply with a court order.

Please see our Trust’s privacy notice for full details.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognise and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

Patient Data is held in line with the NHS England Records Management Code of Practice Published 2021 (updated August 2023).
