Contact Information
Added to our remotely hosted, secure booking system, your contact information is used only to: make, confirm, amend or cancel bookings; contact you with updates to our customer policies and your rights; advise currently and recently attending clients of address, service or price changes only when relevant.
Health Details – Treatment Records
Health information on your consent form and treatment records is used by the therapist delivering your treatment to establish that treatment is safe for your condition and which service would be most beneficial to you.
Health Details – Booking System
Health information may be added to your client record on our booking system. These notes are for your therapist’s reference and also used to establish that treatment is safe for your condition and which type would be most beneficial to you.
How long is it being retained?
Data relating to current clients is retained indefinitely.
Data relating to previous clients is retained for up to 7 years from their last appointment, in line with retention requirements, but may be deleted before this time where it is deemed unreasonable or unnecessary to retain that information, or if removal is deemed to be in the previous client’s best interests.
Do we share you data with third parties?
Barbara Johnson Skin Specialist never shares client data with any party not directly linked to the client as their service provider. The data is still processed in line with regulations, and is only shared for administrative and service delivery purposes, not promotional purposes.
Booking System
Our online booking system is remotely hosted by a third party company, Treatwell. We outsource this because their systems provide us with the necessary levels of security and integrity to handle client data, and employees of the third party company have no unauthorised access to the information.
