one or more of the following legal bases:
Performance of a contract with you:
Where we need to perform the contract we are about to
enter into or have entered into with you.
Legitimate interests:
We may use your personal data where it is necessary to conduct our
business and pursue our legitimate interests, for example to prevent fraud and enable us to give
you the best and most secure patient experience. We make sure we consider and balance any
potential impact on you and your rights (both positive and negative) before we process your
personal data for our legitimate interests. We do not use your personal data for activities where
our interests are overridden by the impact on you (unless we have your consent or are otherwise
required or permitted to by law).
Legal obligation:
We may use your personal data where it is necessary for compliance with a
legal obligation that we are subject to. We will identify the relevant legal obligation when we
rely on this legal basis.
Consent:
We rely on consent only where we have obtained your active agreement to use your
personal data for a specified purpose, for example if you subscribe to an email newsletter.
PURPOSES FOR WHICH WE WILL USE YOUR PERSONAL DATA
We have set out below, in a table format, a description of all the ways we plan to use the various
categories of your personal data, and which of the legal bases we rely on to do so. We have also
identified what our legitimate interests are where appropriate.
DIRECT MARKETING
During the registration process with us when your personal data is collected, you will be asked to
indicate your preferences for receiving direct marketing communications from us via email, SMS
or post.
We may also analyse your Identity, Contact, Technical, Usage and Profile Data to form a view
which services and offers may be of interest to you so that we can then send you relevant
marketing communications.
THIRD-PARTY MARKETING
We will get your express consent before we share your personal data with any third party for
their own direct marketing purposes.

You can ask to stop sending you marketing communications at any time by following the opt-out
links within any marketing communication sent to you or by contacting us by telephone
07894546397 or email admin@tbitherapyassociates.co.uk.

communications that are essential for administrative or patient service purposes for example
relating to appointment confirmations, appointment reminders, updates to our Terms and
Conditions or checking that your contact details are correct.
COOKIES
For more information about the cookies we use and how to change your cookie preferences,
please see our cookie policy.
DISCLOSURES OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA
We may share your personal data where necessary with third party consultants for the purposes
of providing treatments or services to you.
We may also share your personal data with third parties to whom we may choose to sell, transfer
or merge parts of our business or our assets. Alternatively, we may seek to acquire other
businesses or merge with them. If a change happens to our business, then the new owners may
use your personal data in the same way as set out in this privacy policy.
We require all third parties to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in
accordance with the law. We do not allow our third-party service providers to use your personal
data for their own purposes and only permit them to process your personal data for specified
purposes and in accordance with our instructions.
INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS
We do not transfer your personal data outside the UK.
DATA SECURITY
We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being
accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we
limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties
who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions
and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.
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.
DATA RETENTION
HOW LONG WILL YOU USE MY PERSONAL DATA FOR?
We will only retain your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes
we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting
or reporting requirements. 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.
To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature
and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or
disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and
whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal, regulatory,
tax, accounting or other requirements.
By law we have to keep basic information about our patients (including Contact, Identity,
Financial and Transaction Data) for six years after they cease obtaining treatments or services
from us.
In some circumstances you can ask us to delete your data: see paragraph 9 below for further
information.
YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS
You have a number of rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data.
You have the right to:
Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a "subject access request"). This
enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are
lawfully processing it.
Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any
incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the
accuracy of the new data you provide to us.
Request erasure of your personal data in certain circumstances. This enables you to ask us to
delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You
also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully
exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your
information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with
local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure
for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.
Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those
of a third party) as the legal basis for that particular use of your data (including carrying out
profiling based on our legitimate interests). In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have
compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your right to object.
You also have the absolute right to object any time to the processing of your personal data for
direct marketing purposes (see paragraph Opting Out of Marketing above for details of how to
object to receiving direct marketing communications).
Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a
third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machinereadable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially
provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.
Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the
processing of your personal data in one of the following scenarios:
If you want us to establish the data's accuracy;
Where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it;
Where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish,
exercise or defend legal claims; or
You have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding
legitimate grounds to use it.
If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please contact us by email to
admin@tbitherapyassociates.co.uk.
NO FEE USUALLY REQUIRED
You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other
rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive
or excessive. Alternatively, we could refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.
WHAT WE MAY NEED FROM YOU
We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and
ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a
security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to
receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request
to speed up our response.
TIME LIMIT TO RESPOND
We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it could take us
longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of
requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.

COMPLAINTS
You have the right to make a complaint at any time to the Information Commissioner’s Office
(ICO), the UK regulator for data protection issues (www.ico.org.uk). We would, however,
appreciate the chance to deal with your concerns before you approach the ICO so please contact
us in the first instance.
