Footprints Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how and when I collect, use, and share information when you attend an appointment at my clinic. This is to comply with the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) 2018.

Information I Collect
To aid your treatment you will normally provide me with certain information, such as your name, postal address, telephone numbers and medical information. I will store your information on an electronic patient record system which is fully password protected.

Why I Need Your Information and How I Use It
I rely on a number of legal bases to collect, use, and share your information, including:

• It is necessary for the purpose of provision of health care that I use your information to fulfil your podiatry assessment and treatment.
• Medical professionals. With your consent I will share information with medical professionals such as your GP to allow continuity of care.
• Business transfers. If I sell or merge my business, I may disclose your information as part of that transaction, only to the extent permitted by law and with your consent.
• Compliance with laws. I may collect, use, retain, and share your information if I am legally required to.

Data Retention
I am required to retain your information to comply with my legal and regulatory obligations, to resolve disputes, and to enforce my agreements. The retention of podiatry records is normally a minimum of 8 years, after the last appointment.

How to Contact Me
For purposes of the GDPR, I, Julie Allan am the data controller of your personal information. If you have any questions or concerns, you may contact me at this address:
