We may also collect personal data about you indirectly when:

  • you share content on social media pages, websites or applications related to our products or in response to our promotional material on social media;

Information We Collect & Why

We collect your personal data so we can perform any contract we have with you, provide you with the best online experience and to provide you with a high quality of customer service.

  • Where you have consented before the processing.

We collect your personal data to comply with legal obligations to you, your residents or in the context of a contractual relationship that we have with you.


When we collect and use your personal data on the legal basis of our legitimate interests, we believe the risk to your data protection rights in connection with personal data is not excessive or overly intrusive. We have also put in place protections for your rights by ensuring proper retention periods and security controls.


When we collect and use your personal data for new purposes, we will inform you before or at the time of collection.


Where legally required to do we will ask for your consent to process the personal data. We will only send you direct marketing communications by email or text if we have your consent.

Access Controls

Access to the App must be limited to commercial devices (i.e. non personal devices) only, this applies to both Nursing Home HCPs and Nutricia Care HCPs. Access to the Nutricia Care App is by invitation only and is available only via an individual secure ID code and a secure password issued for each Nursing Home. These will be given to you by your Nutricia Care HCP. You will need to reset your password on first login. You must not share your login details with anyone outside of the HCP staff in your Nursing Home. You must tell us immediately if you suspect that someone else has unauthorised access to the Nursing Home ID number, password or other security breach. For security reasons, a mandatory password reset is initiated by Nutricia every 90 days. In the event that a Nursing Home does not access the App for a period of 90 days we will treat the account as expired and you will need to request access from Nutricia again.

Nutricia Care HCPs may only access the Nutricia Care App by invitation and access is granted via an individual commercial (i.e. non-personal) Nutricia email address and secure password. These will not be shared with anyone else so that you can be sure that you are speaking with a genuine Nutricia Care HCP.
