We will only use personal information for appropriate purposes and in accordance with applicable law.

4. Legal Basis for Processing

Under UK data protection law, we must have a valid legal basis for processing personal information. Depending on the circumstances, these may include:

  • Contract: To manage appointments, fulfil orders and provide requested services.
  • Legal obligation: To meet applicable legal, accounting and regulatory requirements.
  • Legitimate interests: To operate, secure and improve our business, where these interests do not override your rights.
  • Consent: Where you have agreed to optional marketing or non-essential cookies, or where consent is otherwise required.
  • Health data processing: Where necessary for healthcare provision, we rely on an applicable UK GDPR Article 9 condition and other relevant legal requirements.

We will not rely on consent where another appropriate lawful basis applies.

5. Clinic Bookings and Third-Party Services

Clinic appointments may be managed through Cliniko or another third-party booking platform.

When you book an appointment, relevant information may be processed by that provider to facilitate bookings, appointment reminders and related clinic administration.

The provider’s own privacy policy and terms may also apply. Please refer to the relevant provider’s website for further information.

6. Online Shop and Payments

Our online shop uses WooCommerce to manage product listings, shopping carts, checkout and order administration.

Payments may be processed through third-party payment providers, such as Stripe or another configured payment service.

These providers process relevant information in accordance with their own privacy and security practices. We do not intend to collect or store full payment card details directly through our website.

We may also share necessary information with delivery providers to fulfil orders.

7. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. We use the following categories of cookies:

  • Strictly necessary cookies – required for the website to work, for example website security, your shopping basket and checkout (WooCommerce), payment fraud prevention (Stripe) and remembering your cookie choices. These do not require consent.
  • Analytics cookies – help us understand how visitors use our website so we can improve it, for example Google Analytics (cookies such as _ga and _ga_*). These are only set if you consent.
  • Marketing cookies – help us measure the effectiveness of our advertising and show relevant content on other platforms. These are only set if you consent.

Our website also displays review widgets provided by Trustpilot and Google reviews, and links to our Cliniko online booking system. These third parties may process information in accordance with their own privacy and cookie policies.

When you first visit our website you can accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies or choose your preferences. You can change or withdraw your consent at any time using the Cookie Settings link in the footer of our website. You can also delete or block cookies through your browser settings, although some parts of the website may then not work correctly.

  • Website hosting, maintenance and security providers.
  • Email delivery, contact form and customer support services.
  • Delivery and fulfilment providers.
  • Analytics providers, where appropriately configured and permitted.
  • Professional advisers, regulators or public authorities where legally required.

We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

We require relevant service providers to handle personal information appropriately and securely.

9. International Data Transfers

Some third-party service providers may process information outside the United Kingdom.

Where personal information is transferred internationally, we will take appropriate steps to ensure that the transfer complies with applicable UK data protection law, including any required safeguards.

10. How Long We Keep Your Information

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including clinical care, order administration, legal obligations and dispute resolution.

Retention periods may differ depending on the type of information and applicable professional or legal requirements.

When information is no longer required, we will securely delete it or anonymise it where appropriate.

11. How We Protect Your Information

We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration or disclosure.

However, no method of electronic storage or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
