How to contact us
WHAT INFORMATION WE COLLECT ABOUT YOU
We collect information about you when you book an appointment for a service or treatment, visit the clinic for consultation or treatment, buy a product or apply for a job, whether contact is online, on paper, by email or over the phone.
The information you give us may include your name, address, email address, phone number, relevant history which may suggest that a service or treatment should not go ahead, or certain products should not be used (e.g., allergies, pregnancy, skin conditions), payment and transaction information, IP address and CVs.
For clients under the age of 16, we will only keep and use their personal information with the consent of a parent, carer or guardian.
HOW INFORMATION ABOUT YOU WILL BE USED
In law, we are allowed to use personal information, including sharing it outside the Clinic, only if we have a proper reason to do so, for example:
To fulfil a contract with you i.e., to provide the service or treatment you have requested and to communicate with you about your appointments, as well as sending email and text reminders.
When it is in our legitimate interest i.e. there is a business or commercial reason to do so, unless this is outweighed by your rights or interests.
When you consent to it: we will always ask for your consent to hold and use health and medical information.
We will therefore share your information with:
Providers of our Clinic software – Phorest Salon Software
Mailing houses – MailChimp
Suppliers of our website – ICAAL
We have rigorous data protection and security policies in place with all our suppliers.
Some of the people working for Eden Skin Clinic Limited are self-employed. Where software systems and reception facilities are shared, our self-employed colleagues will have access to your information.
We will not share your information with any other third party without your consent except to help prevent fraud, or if required to do so by law.
MARKETING
We would like to send you information about products and services which may be of interest to you. We will ask for your consent to receive marketing information via email or written consent.
If you have consented to receiving marketing, you may opt out at a later date.
You have the right at any time to stop us from contacting you for marketing purposes or giving your information to third party suppliers of products or services. If you no longer wish to be contacted for marketing purposes, please contact Eden Skin Clinic on hello@edenskinclinic.co.uk.
EMPLOYMENT
The information we collect about employees, the purposes it is used for and who it will be shared with is set out in our employment contracts and employee handbook.
HOW LONG YOUR INFORMATION WILL BE KEPT FOR
Unless you request otherwise, we will keep your information to contact you for a maximum of 2 year from your last visit to the Clinic.
After 2 years we will delete all your personal information, except for your name, relevant client history (e.g., allergy test records and financial transactions) (which we are obliged to keep for 10 years).
Information about unsuccessful job applicants will be deleted after four months.
See our data retention policy for further information, including employee data.
WHERE YOUR INFORMATION IS KEPT
Your information is stored within the European Economic Area on secure servers provided by Rushcliffe Private Practise Software. Any payment transactions are held securely. Sending information via the internet is not completely secure, although we will do our best to protect your information and prevent unauthorised access.
ACCESS TO YOUR INFORMATION AND CORRECTION
You have the right to request a copy of the personal information that we hold about you. This will normally be free, unless we consider the request to be unfounded or excessive, in which case we may charge a fee to cover our administration costs.
If you would like a copy of some or all of your personal information, please contact Eden Skin Clinic on hello@edenskinclinic.co.uk.
We want to make sure that your personal information is accurate and up-to-date. You may ask us to correct or remove information you think is inaccurate.
You have the right to ask us to object to our use of your personal information, or to ask us to delete, remove or stop using your personal information if there is no need for us to keep it.
E-NEWSLETTERS
We email e-newsletters to inform you about products, services and treatments provided by our Clinic. You have the opportunity to unsubscribe from e-newsletters at any time.
E-newsletters may contain subscriber tracking facilities within the actual email, for example, whether emails were opened or forwarded, which links were clicked on within the email content, the times, dates and frequency of activity. We use this information to refine future email campaigns and provide you with more relevant content based around your activity.
