Special Category personal information relating to health can include (but is not limited to) clinical notes, examination findings, medical imagingdata related to your care, diagnostic test results, correspondence and communications from other clinical professionals which relates to your current or past clinical care.
We will process your personal information for reasons set out in this Privacy Notice. By law, we need to have a lawful basis or bases for processing your Standard personal information and a lawful basis or basesfor processing your Special Category personal information. Additionally, for Special Category personal information, we are required to identify a condition or conditions for processing this data (as well as a lawful basis or bases).
These two types of personal information are discussed above in the section “Categories of personal information that we process”
As we are a provider of health care services to you, we have several reasons for processing your Special Category personal information. We would not be able to provide healthcare services to you unless we can process this information.
We undertake to process this information in line with Data Protection Laws as defined in the section “Definitions of terms within this Privacy Notice” within this document.
We process Standard personal information about you if it is determined:
We process Special Category personal information about you if it is determined:
The conditions under which we need to process your Special Category personal information are:
The law requires us to our balance the processing of your Standard personal information against your interests, rights and freedoms. We conduct a legitimate interests assessment to ensure we ensure the Standard personal information we process does not override your interests, rights or freedom that relate to your information.
The Legitimate Interests we have identified that allow us to process your Standard personal information are:
If you book into our clinic as a potential patient and we hold no previous clinical records that relate to your direct care, and then you cancel the booking, we will no longer have a legitimate interest in processing your data. In most instances, we would delete any personal information that was used to make the booking.
Please note, that if you are a patient currently undergoing treatment or have appointments booked, we will use your email address to inform you of any changes that relate to our clinic. Examples include changes to fees and change of clinic address. Even if you ask us to not send you marketing or educational emails, we will still use your email address to communicate with you regarding this clinic related information.
We process Standard personal information to fulfill our Legal Obligation, which requires us to maintain complete records relating to the health care services we supply to you. The records that we maintain require that we process a subset of your Standard personal information, with the lawful basis being a Legal Obligation. The Standard personal information we will then process under a Legal Obligation is your:
Full name; address; date of birth; gender; ontact details (such as an email address or telephone number); your parent(s) or legal guardian details if you are a minor; GP contact details
Please note, that whilst we initially use Legitimate Interests as a lawful basis for processing your data, once you attend clinic and we take any notes relating to your clinical care, we will then process your Standard personal information on the lawful basis of our Legal Obligation.
People directly involved in your healthcare that are designated as being regulated by the regulatory bodies as listed in the Medical Act 1983 or the Health Professionals Order 2001 are legally required to record information about you, that relate to preventive or occupational medicine, for medical diagnosis or the provision of health care or treatment.We are required to demonstrate we follow the legal requirements as listed in:
Which includes:
PART 3, Section 2, Regulation 17 (c)
Which state:
(c) maintain securely an accurate, complete and contemporaneous record in respect of each service user, including a record of the care and treatment provided to the service user and of decisions taken in relation to the care and treatment provided;
Note, you as the patient are the “service user”.
We are also required by our Regulatory body, the General Medical Council (GMC), to take and process medical records, which are required to support safe and effective care. As our regulatory body is covered by UK law, this also demonstrates a legal requirement to record and maintain clinical records that relate to your clinical care.
We sometimes need to share your information with other people or organisations for the purposes set out in this Privacy Notice. We will, where required, share the minimal amount of your personal data as appropriate with the other people or organisations we are communicating with:
Generally, we store your personal information on secure systems that reside within the EEA. Where we store systems that are outside of the EEA, we will ensure that there are suitable contractual or other safe guards in place to protect your data.
These measures may include data controller (us) to data processor contracts who we have checked have the required data protection law compliance, or ensuring your data is transmitted from the EEA to other global areas in a highly encrypted format, that is then stored on secure systems using “zero knowledge” encryption. This means your data can not be decrypted by a data processor.
As we are processing your personal data for provision of health care services, we have a legal obligation to process this data.
There are also industry standard guidelines for retention of records (set bythe UK National Health Service) that we follow, in accordance with our regulatory body requirement.
Normally we will process or store your personal information for eight (8) years, but this can increase if there are specific circumstances. If you have any queries about how long we are processing your data for, please contact us.
We will also store information to ensure we can deal with any legal claims that arise from you using our services, and the data will be stored for as long as is required and advised by our legal counsel.

Any personal information that is used for marketing purposes, that has been provided using consent, will be erased in accordance with your rights if requested.
You have the following rights, however please note, that the rights are not absolute. The only absolute right you have is to request that we do not use your personal information for direct marketing.
Please do contact us if you are unsure about your rights as detailed below.We will always endeavour to help explain how your rights apply to the personal information we process, for our specified lawful reasons.
We need to inform you the name and contact details of our organisation, which is at the top of this document.
You have the right to be informed about how we collect and use your personal data. We are obliged to provide this right to be informed in a clear and concise manner. This Privacy Notice you are reading is designed to inform you how we collect and use your personal data.

This is known as a Subject Access Request or ‘SAR’ , but you do not have to specify this term when requesting your personal information from us. You also have the right to request a copy of your personal data that we process.
We will need to identify you using reasonable means before we will start the process of collating your personal information.
Once we have identified you, we will reply to any requests for your personal information (SARs) within 30 days, unless we deem the request to be complex, or repetitive, where we will notify you that we may take an additional two months to provide your personal information.
We will not charge you to request information from us. However, we will charge a reasonable fee if the request for information is repetitive. If we’ve provided information to you and you wish to request it again, we ask that you contact us beforehand to discuss what our reasonable fee is.
Where we refuse to respond to a request, we will explain why to you, informing you of your right to complain to the ICO without undue delay and at the latest within one month of our refusal.

You have the right to request erasure of personal information. If you have subscribed to any of our email educational or marketing correspondence, you have the right to request erasure from our email list, or you can click on the ‘unsubscribe’ link that appears in all emails we send. We will only use your personal information to send you marketing or educational material if you have given us your explicit permission.
We will consider all requests in conjunction with our legal obligation to retain information relating to your health care provided by us, as well as data protection law which clearly states when the right to erasure does not apply. Normally, this means we will not erase any information, unless it was not required for legal reasons.
If we determine we cannot delete data, you still have the right to ask us to restrict processing of your personal data.
You can request that we restrict processing of personal information. This means that we will stop actively processing it, and it will just be stored. Stopping processing will mean that we will not add any additional information to your existing information. This will, however, mean that we will not be able to continue seeing you as a patient.
As we do not process personal information using a lawful basis of either a)consent or b) for the performance of a contract, the right to data portability is not applicable.
You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances.
You also have an absolute right to stop your data being used for direct marketing (an example being a newsletter sent out via email each week that you don’t wosh to receive anymore).
We have the right to continue to process data if there is a compelling reason to do so, and we will discuss this with you when required.
