The purpose of processing client data
In order to give professional reflexology treatments, I will need to gather and retain potentially sensitive information about your health. I will only use this information for the purpose of carrying out reflexology treatments and making associated recommendations concerning your health and wellbeing. If you contact me via my website or by text or email, I will take basic contact details and information to allow me to contact you and handle bookings. If you provide me with any sensitive or medical/health information at the enquiry or booking stage, I will only hold and use this information if we proceed to treatment; otherwise it will be deleted.

Lawful basis for holding and using client information
As a full member of the Association of Reflexologists, I abide by the AoR Code of Practice and Ethics. The lawful basis under which I hold and use your information is my legitimate interests. This means I need to retain your information in order to provide you with the best possible treatment options and advice. As I hold special category data (i.e. health related information), the additional condition under which I hold and use this information is for me to fulfil my role as a health care practitioner bound under the AoR Confidentiality as defined in the AoR Code of Practice and Ethics.

What information I hold and what I do with it
In order to give professional reflexology treatments, I will need to ask for and keep information about your health. I will only use this for informing reflexology treatments and any advice I give as a result of your treatment and for contacting you about details of my services. The information to be held is:
• Your contact details
• Medical history and other health-related information (which I will take from you at first consultation)
• Treatment details and related notes (which I will take after each consultation)

I will NOT share your information with anyone else (other than within my own practice, or as required for legal process) without explaining why it is necessary, and getting your explicit consent.

How long I retain your information for
• Under the terms of my ‘claims occurring’ insurance, I will keep your information for 7 years after your last treatment
• Children’s records will be kept until the child is 25 or, if 17 when treated, 26

Your data will not be transferred outside the EU without your consent.

Protecting your personal data
I am committed to ensuring that your personal data is secure. In order to prevent unauthorised access or disclosure, I have put in place appropriate technical, physical and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information I collect from you.
