Privacy Policy

General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) 2018.

1.0 Introduction

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) comes in to force on 25 May 2018, superseding the  Data Protection Act (1998).

Under the terms of the new GDPR, a privacy notice is required to explain to our patients what personal  data is held about them, how it is collected, processed and who has access to it.

All businesses who collect data about people need to comply with the GDPR European legislation and  will need to continue to adhere to it once the U.K. leaves the E.U.
