Privacy Policy

**Last updated: September 2026**

At Dr Huw Aesthetics, your privacy and confidentiality are important to us. As part of providing aesthetic consultations and treatments, we may need to collect and securely retain personal and medical information about you.

This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it, how it is used and how we protect it.

Information We Collect

We may collect personal information including your name, date of birth, address, telephone number, email address and other contact details.

As a medical-led aesthetics service, we may also collect information relating to your health and medical history where this is relevant to assessing your suitability for treatment and providing safe and appropriate care. This may include details of medical conditions, medications, allergies, previous treatments and other relevant health information.

We may also retain consultation and treatment records, consent forms, photographs and details of treatments provided.

How We Use Your Information

Your information may be used to:

- Assess your suitability for treatments and provide safe, appropriate care.
- Maintain accurate consultation and treatment records.
- Contact you regarding appointments, consultations, treatments and aftercare.
- Meet our professional, medical, insurance, legal and regulatory obligations.
- Respond to enquiries or concerns regarding your care.
- Process payments and administer our services.

Medical and health information is treated as confidential and will only be accessed or used where appropriate and necessary.

Marketing

**We will not use your personal or medical information for marketing purposes unless you have specifically consented to receive marketing communications from us.**

Choosing not to receive marketing will have no effect on the care or services you receive.

Where you have given consent, you can withdraw that consent at any time by contacting us or by using the unsubscribe option provided in our marketing communications.

We will not sell your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes.

Treatment Photographs

Photographs may be taken where appropriate as part of your consultation, treatment planning or medical record.

Photographs held as part of your confidential treatment record will not automatically be used for advertising, social media, our website or other promotional purposes.

We will obtain your separate consent before using identifiable photographs for marketing, promotional or social media purposes.

Sharing Your Information

We do not routinely share your personal or medical information with third parties unless there is an appropriate reason to do so.

Information may be shared with trusted service providers who assist us in operating the clinic, where necessary and subject to appropriate confidentiality and data-protection safeguards.

We may also disclose information where required by law, where necessary to meet our professional or regulatory obligations, or where there is another lawful basis for doing so.

How We Protect Your Information

We take appropriate measures to protect personal and medical information against unauthorised access, disclosure, loss, alteration or misuse.

Access to patient information is limited to those who have a legitimate reason to access it.

We retain personal and medical records for as long as reasonably necessary to provide your care and to comply with applicable legal, professional, regulatory and insurance requirements.

Your Data Protection Rights

Under UK data-protection law, you may have rights in relation to your personal information, including the right to request access to information we hold about you and, in certain circumstances, to request correction, restriction, deletion or transfer of your information.

Some rights are subject to legal exceptions. For example, we may be required to retain certain medical or treatment records even if you ask us to delete your information.

You may also withdraw consent where we are relying on your consent to process your information.

Cookies and Website Information

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to help the website operate correctly and understand how it is being used. Where required, you will be given the opportunity to manage your cookie preferences.
