The purpose of processing Client Data

If you contact me by email, ‘phone, ‘What’s App’, via my website contact form/newsletter sign-up form, or any other social media platforms, or via my Neal’s Yard shop, you will be providing me with personal information (e.g. name, telephone number, email address, home address) and possibly sensitive information about your current or past health and wellbeing.

Sensitive information will only be requested in order to fulfil my role as a healthcare practitioner, bound under the Association of Reflexologist’s confidentiality as defined in its Code of Practice and Ethics. Any data relating to enquires that do not proceed to an appointment will be erased where I am able to do so.

In order to give professional treatments, if you confirm an appointment with me, I will need to gather and retain sensitive information about your health. I will only use this information for informing treatments and associated recommendations concerning aspects of health and wellbeing which I will offer to you. You will be required to read and sign a copy of this Privacy Notice before/at your appointment.

As a member of the Association of Reflexologists (AoR), I abide by the AoR Code of Practice and Ethics.
