How We Store Your Data

Storage Locations

Clinical records are stored in a secure, password-protected folder in Microsoft OneDrive. Intake data is collected via Typeform, downloaded manually, and stored in OneDrive. Local copies are deleted once transferred.

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your data from unauthorised access, loss, or disclosure. All digital systems are password-protected and, where available, encrypted.

Retention Periods

We retain records for the following minimum periods, in line with professional guidance from the CSP:

  • Adult clinical records: 8 years from the date of last treatment

  • Financial and billing records: 6 years, in line with HMRC requirements

  • Marketing contact data: until you unsubscribe or request deletion

 After the relevant retention period, records are securely deleted or destroyed.

Who We Share Your Data With

We do not sell your personal data. We share data only in the following circumstances:

  • Referral letters to your GP, a menopause specialist, or other health professionals — only with your explicit consent and knowledge of the referral content

  • Service providers who process data on our behalf (e.g. email platform, booking software) — only where a data processing agreement is in place

  • Statutory bodies where we have a legal obligation to disclose (e.g. safeguarding, court order)
