This Privacy Policy supplements other notices and Privacy Policies and is not intended to override them.

In a situation where you are using the Service, but in aid of a third party, or when you are using Service on behalf of someone else, remember to obtain appropriate authorisation prior to providing this data.

In accordance with Article 14 of UK GDPR please ensure that they have read and understood how their data is used and shared before authorising the use of their data.

This document governs your use of this Service and you should cease using the Service if you do not agree with these provisions.

We will use reasonable efforts to include up-to-date and accurate information in its resources and information, but make no representations, warranties, or assurances as to the accuracy, currency, or completeness of the information provided. We shall not be liable for any damages or injury resulting from your access to, or inability to access, the Service, or from your reliance on any information provided on this Service.

The Service does not constitute in any way medical advice or treatment and should not be taken as such. If you have medical concerns contact your GP, Local Health Service or an accredited medical professional.

Where we need to collect Personal Data by law, or under the terms of a contract we have with you, and you fail to provide that data when requested, we may not be able to perform the contract we have or are trying to enter into with you (for example, to provide you with goods or services). In this case, we may have to cancel a product or service you have with us but we will notify you if this is the case at the time.

We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected Personal Data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

The provision of this information is subject to you giving us your express consent. If we do not receive this consent from you, we will not be able to coordinate your wellness with that provided by other providers which means the wellness provided by us may be less effective.

We will also take reasonable security measures to protect your personal data storage. We may use your personal data where there is an overriding public interest in using the information e.g. in order to safeguard an individual, or to prevent a serious crime. Also where there is a legal requirement such as a formal court order. We may use your data for marketing purposes such as newsletters but this would be subject to you giving us your express consent.

Sharing Your Information with Other Organisations

We may share your information with supplement companies and biochemical testing companies as part of providing you with direct wellness care. We will not include any sensitive information.
We will seek your express consent before sharing your information with your GP or other healthcare providers. However if we believe that your life is in danger then we may pass your information onto an appropriate authority (such as the police, social services or GP) using the legal basis of vital interests.

11. If you want detailed information from Get Safe Online on how to protect your information and your computers and devices against fraud, identity theft, viruses and many other online problems, please visit www.getsafeonline.org. Get Safe Online is supported by HM Government and leading businesses.
 

Data Retention
12. Unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law, we will only hold your Data on our systems for the period necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy or until you request that the Data be deleted.
13. Even if we delete your Data, it may persist on backup or archival media for legal, tax or regulatory purposes.

How long we  hold confidential information for
All records held by us will be kept for the duration specified by guidance from our professional association, the   Kinesiology Association.

We will retain and use your Personal Data to the extent necessary to comply with our legal obligations (for example, if we are required to retain your data to comply with applicable laws), resolve disputes, and enforce our legal agreements and policies. We may retain your Personal Data for a longer period in the event of a complaint or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation in respect to our relationship with you.

All essential contact information will be kept for a duration of 6 years for the basis of accountancy records and our legal requirement to maintain them. After this point the information will be archived, unless a Data Subject exercises their right to removal. If this is exercised, it will be determined what, if any, information needs to be retained by us to comply with current laws.

All personal information that is collected and anonymised as a statistical data set will be retained as long as that statistical information is still relevant to the company or any educational information/statistical analysis that it is needed for. Please note that once data has been added to a statistical data set, as it is anonymised, we would be unable to remove this data. However, once it is part of the data set it is no longer Personal Data as it would not be identifiable.

All correspondence including personal information will be kept for a period of 5 years in case it is needed for reference in continuing communications/education. After this period it will be archived or deleted. Please note that although we make every effort to delete or archive all information, it is often difficult to compile every digital communication (particularly when it is spread across different platforms of communication) and so will likely never cover 100% of communication.

All personal information collected/processed will be kept for a period of 7 years as recommended by the Kinesiology Association. It is unlikely that we have a direct relationship with our users/clients beyond this period. In the cases where a relationship is ongoing, data will be retained until such time that the relationship ceases, at which point the data will be archived, unless a person exercises their right to removal. If this is exercised, it will be determined what, if any, information needs to be retained by us to comply with current laws.
 

Your rights
14. You have the following rights in relation to your Data:
           a. Right to access - the right to request

(i)                 copies of the information we hold about you at any time, or                  

(ii)               that we modify, update or delete such information. If we provide you with access to the information we hold about you, we will not charge you for this, unless your request is "manifestly unfounded or excessive." Where we are legally permitted to do so, we may refuse your request. If we refuse your request, we will tell you the reasons why.
          b. Right to correct - the right to have your Data rectified if it is inaccurate or incomplete.
          c. Right to erase - the right to request that we delete or remove your Data from our systems.

If you want to access your data you must make a subject access request in writing to hello@dragonflyhealingroom.co.uk. Under special circumstances, some information may be withheld. We shall respond within 20 working days from the point of receiving the request and all necessary information from you. Our response will include the details of the personal data we hold on you. [including]:

- Have your information deleted
- Have your information corrected or updated where it is no longer accurate
- Ask us to stop processing information about you were we are not required to do so by law
- Receive a copy of your personal data, which you have provided to us, in a structured, commonly used and machine readable format and have the right to transmit that data to another controller, without hindrance from us

-     Please note we may ask you to verify your identity before responding to such requests.

What safeguards are in place to ensure data that identifies me is secure?
We only use information that may identify you in accordance with GDPR. This requires us to process personal data only if there is a legitimate basis for doing so and that any processing must be fair and lawful. Within the health sector, we also have to follow the common law duty of confidence, which means that where identifiable information about you has been given in confidence, it should be treated as confidential and only shared for the purpose of providing direct wellness care. We will protect your information, inform you of how your information will be used and allow you to decide if and how your information can be shared. We will ensure the information we hold is kept in secure locations, restrict access to information to authorised personnel only, protect personal and confidential information held on equipment such as laptops and encryption (which masks data so that unauthorised users cannot see or make sense of it). We ensure that external data processors that support us are legally and contractually bound to operate and prove security arrangements are in place where data that could or does identify a person are processed. Dragonfly Healing Room is registered with the Information Commissioners Office (IC) as a data controller and collects data for a variety of purposes. A copy of the registration is available through the ICO website (search by business name).
