We also require and request your consent to receive appointment text reminders and special offers from us after 25th May 2018 should you wish to do so. Remember, your preferences and information can be updated, reviewed or deleted at any time.

 

SECTION 1 - PERSONAL INFORMATION 

       When you become a client with us, we require certain basic information from you, including your name, address, email address, and phone number.  We refer to this information as ‘basic client information.’ Depending on the type of treatments requested by you, it may be necessary to ask you questions and record your answers in writing regarding your health status, skin type, prescription medication, allergies, surgery, past treatments, lifestyle queries, UVA exposure etc. We do this with the sole reason of the regard to your well-being so that we may determine your suitability for our various treatments and to avoid any possible adverse reactions to them by you. We are also required to do so by our insurers and underwriters should any eventuality occur. Your ‘basic client information’ may also be required by us in order to fulfill purchase contracts we might have with you, such as Gift Voucher credit and pre-paid treatment course commitments.

 

SECTION 2 - HOW WE USE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

      We use the Client Information that we record as a reference and log of the treatments you are booking and have undergone. With regard to more specialist treatments such as Laser, Diathermy etc. it is necessary to record patch test results, skin type, time periods between appointments, adverse reactions, acknowledgement of understanding, treatment progress, treatment course records and session logs so that we are able to manage and oversee your treatments properly. We also sometimes take photographic records to visually record your condition and its progress solely for our own use.

     We may be required by law to make available your basic Personal information to respond to a lawful request for information we receive, or to otherwise protect our rights in any legal situation. Other than this, we will never discuss, use or divulge your personal information to anyone or any other third party. Rest assured that we will respect your confidentiality at all times as has always been our policy.

      We may from time to time on rare occasions, send you text messages by phone regarding exclusive discounts and special offers. Please note that we do not use any of your information to market our treatments and products in any other way. We also send all clients appointment text reminders which is a complimentary service that our clients have found to be very useful.
