The Purpose of processing Client Data
In order to give professional therapy treatments, I will need to gather and retain potentially sensitive information about your health. I will only use this information for informing your treatments and associated recommendations concerning aspects of health and wellbeing which I will offer to you.
Lawful Basis for holding and using Client Information
As a full member of the Association of Reflexologists and The British Register of Complementary Practitioners I abide by their Code of Practice and Ethics.

I collect information about you when you use this website, for example when you use my contact form to enquire about my services.
The personal information I collect might include for example: name, address, telephone number, e-mail address and any potentially sensitive health information you may share.
When you come to see me I will need to ask for and keep information about your health.

The information held is your contact details, medical history and other health-related information (which I will take from you at your first consultation), treatment details and related notes (which I take after each consultation).
I will NOT share your information with anyone else (unless required for legal process) without explaining why it is necessary, and getting your explicit consent.

How Long I Retain Your Information for
I will keep your information for 7 years after your last treatment as is legally required by my professional insurance.

I am committed to ensuring that your personal data is secure. Your personal medical details and treatment records are not electronically recorded – only paper records are used. These are stored in a locked filing cabinet and are not accessed by anyone other than your therapist.
The only electronic records used at Sole Retreat are your contact details: Email address and landline / or mobile telephone number which will only be used to contact you regarding appointment times and necessary or requested changes or answer specific questions submitted by yourself via email or text.
