Information about our patients/customers is important to the business. We share your personal information for very limited reasons and in limited circumstances, as follows:
We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to provide you with my services and as described in my Privacy Policy. However, may also be required to retain this information to comply with my legal and regulatory obligations, to resolve disputes, and to enforce my agreements. The retention of podiatry records is normally a minimum of 8 years, after the last appointment. For customers who are not patients but may have bought products from the business we will keep any data you may have provided for a minimum of 6 years in line with tax legislation.
We may store and process your information through third-party hosting services in the US and other jurisdictions. As a result, we may transfer your personal information to a jurisdiction with different data protection and government surveillance laws than your jurisdiction. If we are deemed to transfer information about you outside of the EU, we rely on Privacy Shield as the legal basis for the transfer, as X Cloud is Privacy Shield certified.
