Any information that will be collected and will be used in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation and the Data Protection Act 2018 and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003.

WHO WE ARE

This Privacy Notice is provided by Flawless Aesthetic Clinic which is the trading name of Sarah Barker, Registered Nurse. This Notice applies to all data subjects whose personal data is collected by Flawless Aesthetic Clinic.

Flawless Aesthetic Clinic is a clinic that provides an extensive list of treatments for face and body. We provide a bespoke treatment for each client matching the services we offer with the needs of the clients. Flawless Aesthetic Clinic is located at Unit 16 Mayden House, Long Bennington Business Park and the correspondence address is available on request. 

The GDPR owner and data protection representative is Sarah Barker 07841389233.

The purpose of this notice is to inform you (data subjects) of what personal data we collect about you in line with the requirements of GDPR.

HOW WE COLLECT DATA

Flawless Aesthetic Clinic will generally only receive personal data from the individual concerned directly in the course of conducting business. This may be in person, via email, web form or telephone. However, in some cases personal data will be supplied by third parties (for example online booking platforms or job sites) but only when you have specifically booked a service/treatment or responded to a vacancy offered by Flawless Aesthetic Clinic on a third party platform.

THE DATA WE COLLECT

In the course of our business Flawless Aesthetic Clinic will collect certain types of personal data which will include:

  • Names, postal addresses, telephone numbers, email addresses, and other contact details (telephone calls may also be recorded for training purposes).
  • Financial information which could include bank details and credit card details
  • Personnel files in connection with employment and recruitment
  • Information supplied in the medical questionnaire about a person’s health and relevant medical conditions that could affect the suitability of treatments
  • Still images of clients during the treatment process (to assess before and after) and any video captured by the CCTV security system installed at our premises.
  • Technical information such as cookies, IP address, browser type etc when you visit our website
  • For any disclosure of information of another person, you must have full consent of the person to disclose and process their personal information in accordance with this policy.
  • Where Flawless Aesthetic Clinic is required to process the data of a child (individuals under the age of 16) we will ask for consent to be authorised by the holder of parental responsibility for the child.

WHY WE PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA

During the course of our business, we need to process a wide range of personal data and we will only do so in accordance with the law. Some of this is done to fulfil Flawless Aesthetic Clinic’s legal obligations including those related to its employees or contractual obligations such as those to its insurers. In other cases, we will process data where it is in our legitimate interest except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject.

Flawless Aesthetic Clinic believes the following use will fall within the category of legitimate interest:

  • For the purpose of recommending and providing treatments & products
  • For the purpose of providing information on pre- and aftercare before and following treatment.
  • For the purpose of confirmation and reminding individuals of appointments via email & text messages.
  • For the purpose of our newsletter and other relevant offer emails updating clients on new products and services offered by Flawless Aesthetic Clinic. You can opt out of this at any time.
  • For the purpose of security to protect our websites, infrastructure and premises from attacks or threats and to report any illegal activities

Given that we need to collect health information and this is classed as a special category of personal data we need to identify a specific condition under Article 9. The condition on which we rely is that processing is necessary for the purposes of providing health care or treatment.

WHO HAS ACCESS TO DATA & WHO WE SHARE IT WITH

Personal information gathered will not be shared with any third party companies for direct marketing. Usually, personal data collected by Flawless Aesthetic Clinic will remain within Flawless Aesthetic Clinic and will be processed by appropriate employees. Some of the processing is carried by third parties such as website developers, cloud storage providers but is at all times kept securely and only processed with the directions of Flawless Aesthetic Clinic.

On occasion, we will need to share personal information, to meet our legal obligations or for contractual reasons, with third parties such as banks lawyers, insurers, accountants or government authorities such as HRMC if you are an employee.

If you decide to apply for finance we will only share your email address with the finance company so that they may communicate with you directly.

HOW LONG WE KEEP PERSONAL DATA

We are committed to complying with our legal obligation to the retention and deletion of personal information. The type of data and the purpose for collection will determine how long Flawless Aesthetic Clinic will retain your data. We will not process your personal information for purposes longer than necessary.

Employee data can be kept for up to seven years following departure from the company. Details of an unsuccessful applicant to vacancies will be stored for up to one year.

Our insurers require Flawless Aesthetic Clinic to keep Client records, including medical data, images and treatment data for 10 years from the date of your last treatment following which it will be securely disposed of.

Data of those engaged with the business such as contacts for an active contract or receivers of our monthly newsletter will be retained as long as the service is being contracted or newsletter is being sent.

Emails of those who have opted out of receiving our newsletter services will be kept indefinitely to ensure continued compliance.

Financial and accounting records will be kept for 6 years from the end of the last company financial year they relate to or longer if the tax return was late or if HMRC requests it.
