1.1. We regard “personal data” as information about you from which we can identify you (either on its own, or by compiling it with other information).
1.2. We collect this information from various sources to help us manage the business and to keep in contact with you. Typically, these sources are: ‘sign-up’ forms from Internet websites, telephone enquiries, in-person enquiries and email requests. Additional information may be gathered and recorded once a client attends a class.
1.3. We will ask you to agree to use of this data by giving us your consent (i.e. to ‘opt-in’). We require that you opt-in to the use of your personal data by ticking a ‘Consent Given’ box. By doing this, you consent to us collecting and processing the data that you have supplied to us, and to us using it to contact you.
2.1. We hold personal contact information such as name, address, email address, and contact telephone number(s). We may hold contact details for relatives and emergency contact(s). Additionally, we hold some personal data that assists us in providing an efficient clinical service, (such as date of birth and relevant health/medical information). We hold sufficient financial information to allow us to take payment for our services, either directly or through a Third Party.
2.2. We also hold information on previous clients.
2.3. All data records are held in a secure manner and for a time period that is considered appropriate for
our business needs; typically this will be for a minimum of 7 years unless you specifically request otherwise – see the section on ‘Your Rights’.
5.1. We take all reasonable precautions to maintain your personal data in a secure environment. This includes, but is not limited to; the use of password protection for access to applications, computer folders/files and mobile phones; the secure storage of paper records; the archiving of email correspondence.
5.2. We may keep your data for a limited, reasonable period, as appropriate for the needs of the business. The only exceptions to this are where the law requires us to hold personal information for a specified period or to delete it sooner – see the section on ‘Your Rights’.
5.3. We ensure, on an on-going basis, that all employees and contracted staff are made aware of their responsibilities in relation to the use, protection and breaches of personal information.
5.4. Whilst we will strive to protect all of your personal information that we hold, we cannot guarantee the security of any information that you transmit to us over the Internet, and so you do so at your own risk.
Your ‘data subject’ rights: Legislation deems us to be the ‘controllers’ of the personal data that we hold. Therefore, we are responsible for how it is used by us and our third parties and how we inform you of that. You have a number of rights in relation to your personal information under data protection law. If we receive a request from you to disclose the personal data that we hold on you, we will respond to you within 30 days, at no charge to you. Our contact details, and how to contact us, can be found at the end of this policy statement.
6.1. Accessing your personal information: You have the right to ask for a copy of the information that we hold about you by emailing or writing to us at the address listed in our contact details. We may not provide you with a copy of your personal information if it concerns other individuals, or we have another lawful reason to withhold that information.
6.2. Correcting and updating your personal information: The accuracy of your information is important to us. If you change any of your personal details, have reason to believe, or, discover that it is inaccurate or out of date, please contact us so that we can correct it.
6.3. Withdrawing your consent: We rely on your consent as the legal basis for processing your personal data and to receiving direct marketing. You may withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us. If you would like to withdraw consent to receiving direct marketing you can also do so by using our unsubscribe tool. If you withdraw your consent, our use of your personal data before you withdraw is still lawful.
6.4. Objecting to our use of your personal information and automated decisions made about you: Where we rely on our legitimate business interests as the legal basis for processing your personal information, you may object to us using your personal information for these purposes by contacting us. We will temporarily stop processing your personal information in line with your objection until we have investigated the matter. If we agree that your objection is justified in accordance with your rights under data protection laws, we will permanently stop using your data for those purposes. Otherwise, we will provide you with our justification as to why we need to continue using your data. You may object to us using your personal information for direct marketing purposes and we will automatically comply with your request; if you would like to do so, please use our unsubscribe tool.
6.5. Erasing your personal information: You can ask us to remove your personal information that we hold from our internal systems at any time by emailing or writing to us – see our contact details. We will make all reasonable efforts to comply with your request in a reasonable timeframe unless there is a reason that the law prohibits us from doing this.
6.6. Restricting your personal information: You may ask us to restrict the processing of your personal information where you believe it is unlawful for us to do so, or where you have objected to its use and our investigation is pending. In these circumstances we may only process your personal information where we have your consent or we are legally permitted to do so – for example, for storage purposes, to protect the rights of another individual or in connection with legal proceedings.
6.7. Transferring your personal information in a structured data file: Where we rely on your consent as the legal basis for processing your personal information, you may ask us to provide you with a copy of that information in a structured data file format. We will provide this to you electronically in a commonly used machine readable form, such as a CSV file. You can ask us to send your personal information directly to another service provider if this is technically possible. We may not provide you with a copy of your personal data if it concerns other individuals or if we have another lawful reason to withhold that information.
6.8. Data Breaches: In the unlikely event of a breach of your personal data, we will notify you of this within 72 hours of our discovery. If we consider this to be a serious breach we will also notify the Regulator. We will identify and put in place measures to prevent a similar occurrence in a timely manner and ensure appropriate and suitable protection of personal data is incorporated in future design of our systems and processes.
6.9. Complaining to the UK data protection regulator: You have the right to complain to the Information Commissioners Office (ICO) if you are concerned about the way we have processed your personal information. Please visit the ICO’s website for further details.
