Other special category information may include information about:

- religious or philosophical beliefs;
- genetic data;
- biometric data used for identification;
- sex life;

- physical or mental health.
We will only collect or use this information where it is relevant, necessary and lawful.
When we process special category data, we will identify both an appropriate lawful basis for processing and an additional special category condition.
Depending on the circumstances, the additional condition may include explicit consent, health or social care purposes, vital interests, substantial public interest, legal claims or another applicable condition under data protection law.
15. Information About Criminal Offences
We do not ordinarily seek information about criminal convictions or offences from clients.
However, such information may occasionally be disclosed in connection with safeguarding, risk, legal proceedings, complaints or service safety.

27. Newsletter Subscriptions
When you subscribe to our newsletter, we may collect your name, email address, subscription date, consent record, communication preferences and limited interaction data.
Newsletter systems may record whether an email was delivered, opened or selected. This helps us understand whether communications are useful and whether the system is functioning correctly.

28. Cookies and Similar Technologies

- remember privacy preferences;
- support security;
- understand website traffic;
- improve user experience;
- measure content performance;
- support booking or payment features;

Cookies that are not strictly necessary will be used only where appropriate consent has been obtained.
You can manage your choices through the website’s cookie consent tool and your browser settings.

We may use third-party systems to manage:
- appointment availability;
- booking requests;
- calendar invitations;

These providers may process personal information on our behalf or, in some circumstances, as independent data controllers.
You should review any separate privacy information presented by the provider during booking.

Where consultations are delivered remotely, we may use telephone, video-conferencing, secure messaging or other communication platforms.
Remote consultations may involve the processing of:
- contact information;
- appointment details;
- audio or video transmitted during the session;
- technical and connection data;

We do not ordinarily record consultations.
A consultation will only be recorded where there is a clear reason, appropriate notice has been given and any necessary consent has been obtained.
31. Email and Messaging
We may communicate through email, telephone, text message or another agreed channel.
Standard email and messaging services may not provide complete security. You should avoid sending unnecessary sensitive health information through general messaging channels.
Where more detailed information is required, we may provide instructions for a more appropriate method of transfer.
You are responsible for ensuring that the contact information you provide is accurate and that you can access communications privately.
32. Social Media
If you communicate with us through social media, the relevant platform will also process your information under its own privacy terms.
You should not post confidential medical or personal information publicly.
Private social media messages are not intended for emergencies, urgent clinical concerns or detailed health assessments.
33. Payment Providers
Payments may be processed by an independent payment provider.
The provider may collect card, bank, identity, device and transaction information under its own privacy policy.
We normally receive confirmation of the transaction, payment status, amount, date and transaction reference rather than complete payment-card details.

We will only share information that is reasonably necessary for the relevant purpose.
35. Sharing Information With Healthcare Professionals

We will not routinely contact your healthcare team without your knowledge and an appropriate legal basis.
Where you ask us to communicate with a healthcare professional, we may request written or clearly recorded consent.
Information may be shared without consent where required by law or where necessary to address a serious and immediate safety or safeguarding concern.
36. Service Providers Acting on Our Behalf

- use the information only for authorised purposes;
- follow appropriate instructions;
- maintain suitable security;
- assist with data protection obligations;
- limit access to authorised personnel; and
- delete or return information when appropriate.
We seek to use reputable providers and carry out proportionate due diligence.
37. Business Changes

Any such disclosure will be limited to what is necessary and subject to appropriate confidentiality and data protection safeguards.

Some service providers may store or process personal information outside the United Kingdom.
Where information is transferred internationally, we will take reasonable steps to ensure that an appropriate legal mechanism and safeguards are in place.

No website, email system, cloud platform or electronic communication method can be guaranteed to be entirely secure.
You should take reasonable care when sending sensitive information and should only provide information that is relevant and necessary.
40. Personal Data Breaches
If we become aware of a personal data breach, we will assess its nature, scope, likely consequences and the steps required to contain and address it.
Where required by law, we will notify the Information Commissioner’s Office and affected individuals within the applicable timescales.
41. How Long We Keep Personal Information
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected and for applicable legal, tax, accounting, insurance, safeguarding, professional and record-keeping requirements.
Retention periods will depend on:
- the type of information;
- the service provided;
- the sensitivity of the information;
- the duration of the client relationship;
- legal and accounting requirements;
- professional responsibilities;
- insurance conditions;
- safeguarding considerations;
- complaint or dispute risks;
- the need to establish or defend legal claims; and
- whether information can be anonymised.
General enquiries that do not lead to a service relationship may be retained for a shorter period.
Consultation, programme, health-related, safeguarding, complaint and payment records may need to be retained for longer.
When information is no longer required, we will securely delete, destroy or anonymise it.
42. Anonymised and Statistical Information
We may anonymise information so that it no longer identifies an individual.
Anonymised information may be used for:
- service evaluation;
- quality improvement;
- reporting;
- education;
- research planning;
- understanding service demand; and
- developing future services.
Information that has been effectively anonymised is not personal data.
43. Your Data Protection Rights
Depending on the circumstances, you may have the following rights in relation to your personal information.
44. The Right to Be Informed
You have the right to receive clear information about how and why your personal information is used.
45. The Right of Access
You may ask us to confirm whether we hold personal information about you and request a copy of that information.
46. The Right to Rectification
You may ask us to correct information that is inaccurate or complete information that is incomplete.
47. The Right to Erasure
You may ask us to delete personal information in certain circumstances.
This right is not absolute. We may need to retain information for legal, professional, safeguarding, contractual, insurance or record-keeping reasons.
48. The Right to Restrict Processing
You may ask us to limit how information is used in certain circumstances, such as while accuracy or the legal basis for processing is being considered.
49. The Right to Data Portability
In certain circumstances, you may request personal information in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format or ask for it to be transferred to another organisation.
50. The Right to Object

You have an absolute right to object to the use of your personal information for direct marketing.
51. The Right to Withdraw Consent

Withdrawal will not affect processing that took place lawfully before consent was withdrawn.
52. Rights Relating to Automated Decision-Making
You may have rights relating to decisions made solely by automated processing where those decisions produce legal or similarly significant effects.
We do not currently use solely automated decision-making to determine whether a person will receive cancer wellness services or to make significant clinical or service decisions.
53. Exercising Your Rights
To exercise a data protection right, contact:
Email: info@drsethcancerwellness.com
Postal address:
Dr Seth Cancer Wellness Ltd
12 Barn Close
Bracknell

RG12 2TR
Please describe the information or right concerned clearly enough for us to understand and respond to your request.
We may ask for evidence of identity or authority where this is reasonably necessary to protect personal information.
We will respond within the timescale required by data protection law. Where a request is complex or involves a substantial volume of information, we may seek clarification or explain where an extension is permitted.
Data protection rights are not always absolute. We will explain if we cannot comply fully with a request and will identify the reason where appropriate.
54. Children and Young People
Our website is primarily directed towards adults.
Where a service may involve a child or young person, we will take additional care with their information.
Depending on age, understanding, circumstances and the service involved, we may need to consider:
- the young person’s own wishes;
- their capacity to understand the service and information use;
- parental responsibility;
- consent or another lawful basis;
- safeguarding;
- best interests; and
- whether another professional should be involved.
We do not knowingly seek unnecessary personal information from children through general website forms.
If you believe a child has provided personal information inappropriately, please contact us promptly.
55. Family Members, Carers and Representatives
Where a family member, carer or representative contacts us on someone else’s behalf, we may need to confirm:
- their identity;
- their relationship to the individual;
- whether the individual has authorised their involvement;
- whether they have legal authority to act; and
- what information may appropriately be shared.
Being a relative or carer does not automatically entitle a person to receive confidential information.
56. Safeguarding and Serious Safety Concerns
There may be limited situations in which we need to use or share information without consent.
This may include circumstances involving:
- risk to life;
- serious risk of harm;
- abuse or neglect;

- domestic abuse;
- exploitation;
- a court order;
- a legal duty;
