Privacy Policy
When you supply your personal details to this clinic it is stored and processed for 4 reasons (the bits in bold are the relevant terms used in the General Data Protection Regulation – i.e. the law):
1. We need to collect personal information about your health in order to provide you with the best possible treatment. Your requesting treatment and our agreement to provide that care constitutes a contract. You can, of course, refuse to provide the information, but if you were to do that we would not be able to provide treatment.
2. We have a “Legitimate Interest” in collecting that information, because without it we couldn’t do our job effectively and safely.
3. We also think that it is important that we can contact you in order to confirm your appointments with us or to update you on matters related to your medical care. This again constitutes “Legitimate Interest”, but this time it is your legitimate interest.
4. Provided we have your consent, we may occasionally send you general health information in the form of articles, advice or newsletters. You may withdraw this consent at any time – just let us know by any convenient method.
We have a legal obligation to retain your records for 8 years after your most recent appointment (or age 25, if this is longer), but after this period you can ask us to delete your records if you wish. Otherwise, we will retain your records indefinitely in order that we can provide you with the best possible care should you need to see us at some future date.
Your records are stored:
Supporting information about you, and regarding you is stored:
We will never share your data with anyone who does not need access without your written consent.

Your records are stored:
- On paper, in locked filing cabinets. The offices are always locked and alarmed out of working hours.
Supporting information about you, and regarding you is stored:
- Some limited information about you (your name, email address, phone number, appointment information) is held within the 10to8 booking system. This provider has given us their assurances that they are fully compliant with the General Data Protection Regulations. Access to this data is password protected, and the passwords are changed regularly.
- Your name, phone number and email is likely stored on our Associates’ phones and notepads for the purpose of contacting you regarding your treatment. It should be noted also that clinic software Ovatu and Rehab My Patient (see above) is also accessible via these devices. These devices are locked with passwords also.
We will never share your data with anyone who does not need access without your written consent.
