Clinic Privacy Notice

How the CHE Homeopathy Clinic uses your information

This notice explains how we use your information if you are a patient of the online CHE Homeopathy Clinic. The clinic sees adults aged 18 and over only. Please read it with the Clinic Terms. For anything else about CHE, see our Privacy and Cookie Policy. This notice applies instead of that policy where the two differ.

1. Who we are

The CHE Homeopathy Clinic is run by CHE Health & Wellbeing Limited (company number 10722903), 4th Floor, 100 Fenchurch Street, London EC3M 5JD, which is the controller of your information and is registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office under registration number ZB035578.

Our Data Protection Lead is Marcus Fernandez: [email protected], 020 3405 4580.

Our EU representative is Prighter Group. If you are in the EU, you can contact us through Prighter at https://app.prighter.com/portal/EU-GDPR.

2. What information we collect

  • Your name, contact details, address and date of birth
  • Information about your health: symptoms, medical history, medication, lifestyle and emotional wellbeing
  • Case notes and remedy prescriptions
  • Video and audio recordings of your consultations
  • Booking and payment details. Your card details are held by our payment providers, and we do not see your card number

3. How and why we use it

Purpose
Lawful basis
Providing your consultations
Contract, UK GDPR Article 6(1)(b)
Using your health information
Your explicit consent, UK GDPR Article 9(2)(a), which you give on the Patient Consent Statement when you book
Using your case or recording in teaching or our professional case library
Your consent, UK GDPR Article 6(1)(a), only if you tick the separate teaching opt-in
Protecting life in an emergency
Vital interests, UK GDPR Article 9(2)(c), only if we believe you or someone else is at risk of serious harm and we cannot get your consent

Your consultation is carried out by a trainee homeopath, observed live by a clinician and other students, so that students learn safely under supervision.

Consultations are recorded so clinicians can review and support the trainee homeopath.

Observation and recording are conditions of using the clinic, because it is a supervised training clinic. If you do not want either, we will signpost you elsewhere.

Only if you tick the separate teaching opt-in do we use your case or recording in teaching or our professional case library. Cases are anonymised under our written standard, and identifiable clips are used only with your specific agreement.

In an emergency, we share only the information needed to protect life.

4. Who can see your information

Your trainee homeopath, clinicians and any students observing, all bound by confidentiality agreements, and a small number of CHE staff who run the clinic.

We use trusted providers to run the service:

Some of these are based in the USA. Transfers are protected by UK adequacy regulations, the UK Extension to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, or the International Data Transfer Agreement or UK Addendum.

5. How long we keep it

Information
How long we keep it
Case notes and consent forms
7 years after your last consultation
Consultation recordings
Deleted 12 months after the consultation
Material you opted in to teaching use
Identifiable material is removed as soon as possible if you withdraw consent. Fully anonymised cases may be kept

6. How we keep it safe

Records are kept only in restricted, access-controlled folders. Every consultation uses a Zoom passcode or waiting room, and recordings are never downloaded to personal devices.

7. Your rights

You can ask for a copy of your information, ask us to correct or delete it, restrict how we use it, receive it in a portable format, and withdraw your consent at any time. Withdrawing does not affect anything we did before you withdrew. You can withdraw teaching consent at any time and keep your consultations. If you withdraw consent to observation or recording, we cannot continue your consultations and will signpost you elsewhere.

Contact [email protected]. We will respond within one month.

8. Complaints

If you are unhappy with how we have used your information, please contact our Data Protection Lead first at [email protected]. We will acknowledge your complaint within 30 days. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk or on 0303 123 1113.
