The Purpose of processing Client Data
For the purpose of providing professional treatments, Remedies by Emily will need to gather and retain potentially sensitive information about your health. I will only gather information that is relevant and necessary for your treatment. During your initial consultation I will make notes, which may include details concerning medication, treatment, and any other issues affecting your health.

I take basic contact details and information via my website to allow me to contact you and handle bookings. Any data provided is held securely, and privately. In order to be able to process your personal data, it is a condition of any treatment that you give your explicit consent to allow Remedies by Emily to document and process your personal medical data. Contact details, such as your email address or phone number, may be used to remind you of future appointments, and provide reports or other information concerning your treatment.
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 i.e.my requirement to retain the 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. 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
Remedies by Emily will process personal data during the duration of any treatment and will continue to store only the personal data needed for 7 years after the contract has expired, to meet any legal obligations. After 7 years all personal data will be deleted or safely disposed of, unless basic information needs to be retained by us to meet our future obligations to you. Any records concerning minors who have received a treatment will be retained until the child has reached the age of 25.
Your data will not be transferred outside the EU without your consent.
