1. Overview

StaffLinks is a workforce management platform designed to help care homes and domiciliary care providers manage rostering, care delivery, compliance, communication, finance and workforce performance in one connected system. We are committed to handling personal data responsibly and transparently, and we aim to support secure, professional use of information across the platform.

Policy intention

This page gives a clear overview of the types of information StaffLinks may process, why that information is used, how long it is retained, and the steps taken to support privacy, confidentiality and good data governance practices.

2. Data We Collect

Depending on how the platform is used, StaffLinks may collect and process information needed to support day-to-day workforce management, care coordination and administrative operations.

  • Staff details such as names, roles, qualifications, availability and employment-related scheduling information
  • Service user or client information relevant to care planning, visit coordination and operational delivery
  • Contact details used for communication between teams, managers and authorised users
  • Operational, compliance and record-keeping data needed to support oversight and accountability
  • System usage information, activity records and audit trail data that help maintain visibility and platform integrity

3. How We Use Data

Information is used to support the core functions of the StaffLinks platform and to help care providers work more efficiently, safely and consistently.

  • Deliver rota planning, workforce scheduling and staff coordination
  • Support care delivery workflows, communication and service continuity
  • Assist with compliance, governance, monitoring and audit-related processes
  • Provide operational insight, reporting and performance visibility
  • Maintain, improve and secure platform performance and reliability

4. Data Retention

At StaffLinks, we understand that the information processed through the platform may include personal, sensitive and health-related data. We retain personal data within our secure database systems for a period of 5 years from the date it is collected or from the date of the last relevant interaction with our services, whichever is later.

  • Data is retained to support service delivery, record accuracy, compliance and operational continuity
  • Personal and health-related information is kept securely within our database systems for up to 5 years
  • At the end of the retention period, data will be securely deleted or anonymised so that it can no longer be linked to an individual
  • Where required or permitted by law, regulation or contractual obligation, certain records may be retained for longer
Retention commitment

StaffLinks keeps personal data for 5 years and, once that retention period has ended, we securely delete or anonymise the information unless a longer retention period is required by law or other regulatory obligations.

5. Data Security

StaffLinks supports appropriate technical and organisational measures intended to help protect data from unauthorised access, misuse, loss or disclosure. These measures may include secure system architecture, access controls, monitoring and controlled operational practices.

  • Role-based access approaches that help limit information visibility to authorised users
  • Secure hosting and infrastructure practices designed to support system reliability
  • Audit trail and activity visibility to support accountability and review
  • Security-conscious operational processes intended to support confidentiality, retention control and secure deletion

6. Your Rights

Individuals may have rights in relation to personal data, which can include requesting access to data, asking for corrections, restricting certain processing activities or requesting deletion where appropriate, subject to legal, contractual and regulatory obligations.

Important note

Any privacy or data rights request may need to be reviewed in line with operational responsibilities, record-keeping needs, retention obligations and relevant care-sector requirements.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Clear answers to common questions from care providers evaluating HealthCare Rota.

Can managers adjust shifts quickly without rebuilding the rota?

Yes. Managers can move shifts horizontally to adjust time, move them between carers, and resize from either edge with quarter-hour snapping for faster, more accurate scheduling.

Does the system help prevent invalid scheduling?

Yes. The platform helps prevent conflicts, enforces minimum shift lengths, keeps times within the daily 00:00 to 24:00 range, and reduces overlapping assignment issues.

Can the rota be filtered for faster review?

Yes. Managers can filter by carer name, client location, and date, making it easier to review schedules quickly and identify the right records.

Does the platform support modern user preferences such as dark mode?

Yes. HealthCare Rota includes a dark mode toggle, stores the selected theme locally, restores it on return visits, and can fall back to system preference where appropriate.
