Data Security
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.
I will contact you using the contact preferences you have given me.
The only details I will hold on you are: the completed consultation form you completed and signed on your first visit and any subsequent updates, your telephone number on my phone and possibly your email address on my email account should that be your preferred method of contact. We may have had Facebook contact on my Reflexology site in messenger and normally these are rarely deleted so I can keep up with any conversations or changes we may have discussed on there regarding your appointment or health. No one else has access to these.
Why do I need your personal details?
This is to ensure you receive the best treatment from me tailored to your personal expectations and health needs. Details such as lifestyle help to determine stress levels and any recommendations I can make to help you. Contact details are important so we are able to keep in touch regarding your appointment and health changes and for emergency contact purposes. If there are any details you would like me to destroy. Please contact me and I will be happy to do so.
