Privacy Policy

As of 25th May 2018 data protection laws have changed. In order to comply Nathalie Kaufmann Health4You London LTD has produced a privacy statement. This provides information on why I collect your personal data and what I do with it. The full privacy statement can be found below.

PRIVACY NOTICE

(Why I collect your personal data and what I do with it)   

When you supply your personal details to this clinic they are stored and processed for 4 reasons (the bits  in bold are the relevant terms used in the General Data Protection Regulation – ie the law):   

1.  I need to collect personal information about your health in order to provide you with the  best possible treatment. Your requesting treatment and my agreement to provide that care  constitutes a ​contract​. You can, of course, refuse to provide the information, but if you were to  do that I would not be able to provide treatment.  

2. We have a “​Legitimate Interest​” in collecting that information, because without it I couldn’t  do my job effectively and safely.    

3. I also think that it is important that I can contact you in order to confirm your  appointment with me or to update you on matters related to your medical care. This again  constitutes “​Legitimate Interest​”, but this time it is your legitimate interest.    

4. Provided I have your ​consent​, I may occasionally send you Invoices, and general health information in  the form of articles, advice or newsletters. You may withdraw this consent at any time – just let  me know by any convenient method.    

I have a ​legal obligation ​to retain your records for 8 years after your most recent appointment (or  age 25, if this is longer), but after this period you can ask me to delete your records if you wish.  Otherwise, I will retain your records indefinitely in order that I can provide you with the best  possible care should you need to see me at some future date.    

Your record is stored in  a secured locker. Where I am the only one who has access to it. 

I will never share your data with anyone who does not need access without your written consent. Only  the following people/agencies will have routine access to your data:    

● The medical records service who store and process our files  

● Your practitioner(s) in order that they can provide you with treatment  

● Our reception staff, because they organise our practitioners’ diaries, and coordinate  appointments and reminders (but they do not have access to your medical history or sensitive  personal information)  

● Other administrative staff, such as our bookkeeper. Again, administrative staff will not have  access to your medical notes, just your essential contact details.  

● We also use Mindbody to coordinate our messages, so your name and email address may be  saved on their server.    

From time to time, I may have to employ consultants to perform tasks which might give them access  to your personal data (but not your medical notes). I will ensure that they are fully aware that they  must treat that information as confidential, and I will ensure that they sign a non-disclosure  agreement.    

You have the right to see what personal data of yours I hold, and you can also ask me to correct any  factual errors. Provided the legal minimum period has elapsed, you can also ask us to erase your  records.    

I want you to be absolutely confident that I am treating your personal data responsibly, and that  I am doing everything I can to make sure that the only people who can access that data have a  genuine need to do so.  

Of course, if you feel that I mishandle your personal data in some way, you have the right to  complain. Complaints need to be sent to what is referred to in the jargon as the “​Data Controller​”. Here  are the details you need for that:
