Health Information & Confidentiality
B Therapy collects relevant health information to ensure treatments are suitable, safe and tailored to your individual needs.
Health information is considered sensitive personal data and is handled with additional care and confidentiality.
Where explicit consent is relied upon to process health information, it will be requested separately during the consultation process.
Clients are responsible for providing accurate information and informing B Therapy of any relevant changes to their health before subsequent appointments.
Health information is not used for marketing purposes without an appropriate lawful basis and any required consent.
Legal Basis for Processing Information
B Therapy processes personal information in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.
Depending on the purpose, information may be processed on the following grounds:
Contractual necessity: To manage appointments, provide treatments and fulfil purchases.
Legal obligations: To maintain financial records and comply with applicable laws.
Legitimate interests: To manage the practice, respond to enquiries, maintain security and protect legitimate business interests, where these are not overridden by individual rights.
Consent: Where required, including certain marketing activities and the processing of sensitive health information.
Health information is subject to additional legal protections, including the requirement for an applicable special-category processing condition.
Where processing relies on consent, this can be withdrawn at any time without affecting the lawfulness of previous processing.
Booking, Payment & External Providers
B Therapy uses trusted third-party providers to support its services.
These include:
Fresha: Online bookings, client registration, digital consultation forms, appointment reminders and treatment records.
PayPal: Secure online payments, prepaid treatment packages, gift purchases and available instalment options.
SumUp: Secure card payment processing.
Individual treatments are normally paid for following the appointment, while treatment packages require advance payment.
B Therapy does not directly store clients' full payment card details.
External providers may process certain personal information in accordance with their own privacy policies and applicable data protection obligations.
Where personal information is transferred outside the UK, appropriate safeguards must be applied where required by law.
Marketing Communications
B Therapy may occasionally share information about new treatments, special offers, seasonal promotions and practice updates.
Marketing emails, text messages and similar communications are sent only where clients have provided appropriate consent or another lawful marketing exception applies.
Clients who have opted in to marketing through Fresha may receive relevant communications based on their preferences.
Every marketing communication will provide a straightforward way to unsubscribe or opt out.
Choosing not to receive marketing communications will not affect your ability to book or receive treatments.
Essential appointment confirmations, reminders and service-related messages may still be sent.
How Your Information Is Protected
B Therapy maintains historical paper consultation records dating back to 2021, while all new client consultations and treatment records are now managed digitally through Fresha.
Historical paper records are stored within the practice, and digital records are maintained through Fresha's platform.
B Therapy takes appropriate measures to protect personal and medical information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse or disclosure.
All client information is treated confidentially and accessed only when necessary for treatment delivery, client safety, professional recordkeeping or legitimate business purposes.
How Long Information Is Kept
Client consultation forms, medical information and treatment records are retained for as long as reasonably necessary for professional, legal and insurance purposes.
This applies to both historical paper records and digital records maintained through Fresha.
Retention decisions take account of the type of information, the purposes for which it was collected, applicable legal requirements, insurance conditions and relevant limitation periods.
Records are reviewed periodically and securely destroyed or deleted when no longer required.
Financial and transaction records are retained for the periods required by applicable tax and accounting legislation.
