5. Our Lawful Basis for Processing Your Information
Under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), organisations must have a lawful basis for collecting and processing personal information.
The lawful basis depends on the purpose for which your information is being used.
Providing Healthcare and Therapeutic Services
The majority of the personal information we collect, including health information, is processed because it is necessary to provide safe, effective and personalised complementary healthcare services.
Without relevant information about your health, medical history and current circumstances, we may be unable to determine whether treatment is appropriate or deliver care safely.
Where health information is collected, it is treated as Special Category Data under UK GDPR and is afforded additional legal protection.
Contract
When you book an appointment with Integrity Wellbeing, we process your personal information to fulfil our agreement with you.
This includes:
-
Managing your bookings.
-
Communicating with you about your appointments.
-
Providing the services you have requested.
-
Processing payments and administering appointment reservations.
Legal Obligations
We may process your personal information where necessary to comply with legal or regulatory obligations.
Examples include:
-
Maintaining appropriate clinical records.
-
Meeting professional and insurance requirements.
-
Responding to lawful requests from regulatory bodies or public authorities.
-
Complying with legal proceedings where disclosure is required by law.
Legitimate Interests
In certain circumstances, we process personal information because it is necessary for the legitimate interests of Integrity Wellbeing, provided those interests do not override your rights and freedoms.
These legitimate interests include:
-
Maintaining accurate business and clinical records.
-
Managing appointments and client communications.
-
Improving the quality and efficiency of our services.
-
Protecting the security of our clinic, systems and records.
-
Preventing fraud or misuse of our services.
Consent
In some situations, we will ask for your explicit consent before processing your personal information.
This may include:
-
Sending newsletters or marketing communications.
-
Retaining clinical photographs.
-
Using photographs, testimonials or case studies for educational or promotional purposes.
-
Processing information where consent is required by law.
Where processing is based on your consent, you are free to withdraw that consent at any time.
Withdrawing your consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before your consent was withdrawn.
6. Special Category Health Information
Information concerning your physical or mental health is classified as Special Category Data under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR). This type of information is considered particularly sensitive and is therefore given additional legal protection.
The health information collected by Integrity Wellbeing may include:
-
Your medical history and current health conditions.
-
Medication, supplements and herbal remedies.
-
Allergies and sensitivities.
-
Pregnancy and postnatal information, where relevant.
-
Previous injuries, surgery or medical procedures.
-
Musculoskeletal pain, tension, restricted movement or other physical concerns.
-
Skin conditions, sensitivities and treatment concerns.
-
Lifestyle information relevant to your care, including sleep, stress, nutrition and movement.

-
Your response to treatment and any relevant progress information.
We collect and use this information only where it is relevant and necessary to:
-
Assess whether a treatment is safe and appropriate for you.
-
Identify contraindications, precautions or necessary treatment adaptations.
-
Provide personalised treatment and appropriate aftercare.
-
Maintain accurate clinical records.
-
Support continuity of care.
-
Meet our legal, professional and insurance responsibilities.
-
Establish, exercise or defend a legal claim, where necessary.
To process health information lawfully, Integrity Wellbeing must identify both an appropriate lawful basis under Article 6 of the UK GDPR and an additional condition under Article 9 for processing Special Category Data. Health information requires this additional level of justification and protection.
Where applicable, Integrity Wellbeing processes health information because it is necessary for the provision and management of health, wellbeing and complementary therapeutic services. In other circumstances, information may be processed with your explicit consent or where it is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
Your health information will:
-
Be treated as strictly confidential.
-
Be accessed only where necessary for your care or the operation of the clinic.
-
Be stored securely and protected against unauthorised access.
-
Not be disclosed to another practitioner or healthcare professional without your consent, unless disclosure is required or permitted by law.
-
Never be used for marketing purposes without your separate, explicit consent.
You are encouraged to inform Integrity Wellbeing if your health, medication, pregnancy status or other relevant circumstances change, so that your records can be kept accurate and your treatment can continue to be provided safely.
7. How We Store and Protect Your Information
Integrity Wellbeing takes the security of your personal information seriously and is committed to protecting it against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration or disclosure.
We use a combination of physical, electronic and administrative safeguards to help ensure that your information remains secure and confidential.
Paper Consultation Forms
Integrity Wellbeing primarily uses paper consultation forms and handwritten clinical records as part of our commitment to providing a thoughtful, personal and distraction-free consultation experience.
Completed consultation forms and treatment records are stored securely within the clinic when not in use and are accessible only to authorised personnel.
Appropriate measures are taken to protect paper records from unauthorised access, accidental loss or damage.
Electronic Records
Where electronic records are required, they are stored using reputable service providers that employ appropriate technical and organisational security measures.
Electronic records are protected through password-controlled access and other suitable safeguards designed to prevent unauthorised access.
Appointment Booking System
Integrity Wellbeing uses Timely to manage appointments, client records and booking administration.
Timely securely processes the personal information necessary to manage your appointments and acts as a data processor on our behalf.
Where clients choose to reserve appointments using payment card details, card information is securely processed and stored by Timely's authorised payment provider. Integrity Wellbeing does not have access to, or store, your full payment card details.
Email and Communications
Email correspondence and other communications are stored securely and are retained only for as long as necessary to support your care, manage appointments or meet legal and professional obligations.
While we take reasonable steps to protect electronic communications, no method of transmitting information over the internet can be guaranteed to be completely secure. We therefore encourage clients not to send highly sensitive medical information by email unless requested.
Photographs
Where clinical photographs are taken with your consent, they will be stored securely and treated as part of your confidential clinical record.
Wherever possible, progress photographs are taken using your own device so that you retain ownership and control of the images.
If Integrity Wellbeing retains copies of clinical photographs, these will only be stored with your explicit written consent and will never be used for marketing, educational or promotional purposes without your separate written permission.
Access to Your Information
Access to your personal information is strictly limited to those who need it to provide your care or to fulfil legal, regulatory or professional responsibilities.
Integrity Wellbeing will never sell your personal information or disclose it to third parties for marketing purposes.
All information is treated as confidential and handled with the utmost care and professionalism.
Keeping Your Information Secure
We regularly review our working practices and security procedures to help protect the personal information entrusted to us.
Although no system of storing or transmitting information can ever be completely secure, we take appropriate steps to minimise risk and to safeguard your information using measures that are proportionate to the nature of the information we hold.
8. Sharing Your Information
Integrity Wellbeing treats all personal information as confidential.
We will never sell your personal information, rent it to third parties or share it for marketing purposes.
Your information will only be shared where it is necessary to provide your care, where you have given your consent or where we are legally required or permitted to do so.

These providers process personal information only on our instructions and are required to keep your information secure and confidential.
With Your Consent
With your explicit consent, we may share relevant information with another healthcare professional or practitioner involved in your care where this would benefit your treatment.

Any information shared will be limited to what is reasonably necessary.
9. How Long We Keep Your Information
Integrity Wellbeing retains personal information only for as long as it is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including providing your care, meeting legal and professional obligations, resolving disputes and maintaining appropriate clinical records.
Clinical records, consultation forms and treatment notes are generally retained for seven years following your last appointment.

Different types of information may be retained for different periods depending on their purpose. For example:
-
Appointment and treatment records.
-
Consultation forms.
-
Clinical notes.
-
Correspondence relating to your care.
-
Financial records where required for accounting or tax purposes.
