How we get the personal information and why we have it

We collect medical history and lifestyle information to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the complementary health treatments we provide. Specifically, this information is used to:

  • Identify any potential contraindications to ensure the treatment is suitable for you.

  • Prepare for safe practice and emergency management should you require assistance during a session.

  • Ensure that our care meets your specific health needs and expectations.

We do not share this information with any third parties / organisation (unless required by law).

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

(a) Your consent. You are able to remove your consent at any time. You can do this by contacting Ash and Elder Wellbeing using the contact details above.

(b) We have a legitimate interest.

Special Category Data (Health Information)

Because we collect medical history and lifestyle information to ensure safe treatments and assess contraindications, this data is classified under UK GDPR as "Special Category Data." In addition to the lawful bases above, we process this sensitive health data under the following condition:

  • Article 9(2)(h): Processing is necessary for the provision of health or social care or treatment (administered by a health professional).

How we store your personal information

Your information is securely stored in hard (paper) and digital formats.

We keep your personal information as listed in this policy for a minimum of 5 years, as clients can often return for treatment after a period of absence. If you as a client are no longer seeking treatment after 5 years, then your information is disposed of securely (via secure shredding/digitally erased).
