The Personal Data We Process and What We Do with It

We record and use the following categories of personal data which include: name, address, email, telephone numbers, date of birth and health data relevant for treating you at our clinic.  For those using health insurance policies, we also collect details of your policy in order to invoice your treatment and collect payment.

 

Our lawful basis for storing and using this data is contract, legitimate interests and to comply with our legal obligations.  We are allowed to store and use your health data as we are a recognised health care provider. 

 

We have internal policies and controls in place to ensure that your data is not lost, accidentally destroyed, misused or disclosed, and is not accessed except by our employees and processors in the proper performance of their duties.

 

​

How We Obtained Your Data

Your personal data has been collected directly from you, via our new patient registration procedure and health information given to the practitioner.   Occasionally, we also collect personal data from a third-party referrer such as a consultant, GP or insurance agent.

 

Sharing Your Personal Data

We only share your personal data with a third party with your explicit consent, where, for example we are co-managing your case with another healthcare professional or if you would like us to advise a physical trainer on an exercise regime.  As health insurance companies are co-controllers of your data, we do not ask your consent to share your information with your healthcare insurance providers.

 

Retaining Your Personal Data

We will retain data on adults for a period of eight years after your last treatment and for minors, until they also reach the age of 25 as this is a requirement of a registered Chiropractor in the UK.

 

Automated Decision Making and Profiling

We do not use any systems which use automated decision making or profiling in respect of your personal data.
