This information may be provided during consultations, through booking or consultation forms, by email or through other direct communication with The Remedy Box.

Health-related information is treated as special category data under UK data protection law. We collect and use this information only where we have an appropriate lawful basis and an appropriate condition for processing special category data, which may include your explicit consent where applicable.

It is used only where necessary to provide personalised support, manage your consultations, maintain appropriate records and meet applicable legal or professional responsibilities.

We do not ordinarily share health-related information with third parties without your consent unless there is a legal, regulatory, professional or safeguarding reason requiring or permitting us to do so.

  • When you subscribe to the newsletter

Legal Basis for Processing

Depending on the circumstances, we may process personal information using one or more of the following lawful bases:

  • Consent, for example where you choose to receive marketing communications
  • Contractual necessity, for example where information is needed to arrange, manage and deliver a consultation or service
  • Legitimate interests, for example to respond to enquiries, maintain website and business security and administer our services, where those interests are not overridden by your rights

Where personal information is transferred internationally, appropriate safeguards are used where required under applicable UK data protection law.

Data Retention
