Information we take and why
We don’t need to take your name or address because we’re not giving you medication*. However, we do take some basic information. There are two main reasons we do this.
- Firstly it is so that we can find you again when you return for more condoms.
- Secondly it is so that we can get a picture of who we’re seeing across islington. We want to reach people across all parts of the borough and to do that we need to check the data that we collect.
- Initials
- Date of Birth
- Gender
- Ethnicity
- First part of your postcode
- Your sexual orientation (if you choose to share this)
- Whether you’re having sex at the moment or just thinking about it.
The information is not used for anything else
We take the following information
We may ask some other questions as part of our discussions with you, but these won’t be written down and you don’t have to answer them if you don’t want to.
* If you sign up at a clinic they may ask you to register with the clinics as well. If this is the case they will ask you for a bit more information such as your name and address in case you use additional services like taking STI tests. This is confidential.
