The type of personal information we collect: 

We currently collect and process the following information:

·      DOB and medical information including, medications, previous operations and illnesses

 

How we get the personal information and why we have it:

Most of the personal information we process is provided to us directly by you for one of the following reasons:

·      When booking an appointment on-line by you, or for you by us

·      Before and after some treatments in the form of photographic encapsulation with your written permission

·      When providing us with information at our consultation stage when we assess your needs and/or requirements and check suitability of treatments requested by you, or suggested by us.  Currently this is manually recorded as a paper record and updated each treatment session.

We use the information that you have given us in order to reserve your appointment slot, and, if necessary, to contact you about your appointment(s), especially if we need to alter an appointment for any reason or need to discuss a treatment request.

We retain the information you give us at our consultation stage and refer to it, and update it as and when appropriate, to enable us to carry out treatments safely and appropriately.   This is not only essential so that we can check for contra-indications but it is a requirement of our insurers.

We may share this information with your GP if appropriate but only with your permission.

Under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), the lawful bases we rely on for processing this information are: (delete as appropriate)

(a) Your consent. 

(b) We have a contractual obligation.

(c) We have a legal obligation.

(d) We have a vital interest.

(e) We need it to perform a public task.

(f) We have a legitimate interest.

 

How we store your personal information 

Your information is securely stored. 

We keep your contact information on our password controlled booking system until requested to remove it.  

We keep paper consultation sheets, treatment record cards and any printed photos in lockable filing cabinets and retain them for a minimum of 7 years after the last treatment carried out, or longer in the case of minors when we hold their information for a minimum of 7 years beyond the age of 18.  We will then dispose of this information by shredding or burning.

Photos digitally stored are kept on a password protected tablet or phone.
