someone who has tested positive for coronavirus. Contacting people who might have
been exposed to the virus is an important step in stopping the spread.

As stated above, the purpose for which we are processing your personal data is to
assist with NHS Scotland’s Test and Protect strategy in relation to the coronavirus
public health epidemic. This will involve the gathering and, when necessary, the
sharing of information with NHS Scotland as the responsible body for Test and
Protect. Your data will not be used for any other purpose.
In order to assist in the containment of the virus, we will only share your data when it
is requested directly by NHS Scotland. This will only be in the unlikely event there is
a cluster of coronavirus cases linked to the venue. Information will be transferred
securely to NHS National Services Scotland who will use the data to contact trace
those who were in the establishment at the same time as the positive case, and will
provide guidance and support to those who may be advised to self-isolate.
