Privacy Policy

Introduction

We protect your privacy and your rights under the Data Protection Act. This policy explains the information we hold about you, and who else may have access to it. The only personal information we will have is that voluntarily supplied by you.

Your personal information

Personal information will only ever be collected and stored by the Portobello Clinic, with your consent, for the following purposes:

• To update and enhance the website and the services provided.
• In such cases where we ask you for personal information we will inform you of how we intend to use the information and we will ask for your explicit consent.
• In such cases where we ask for patient information (for example the GP referral form),this information is not stored on the website and is used only by the Portobello Clinic to contact the patient specifically regarding the referral submitted.

Who else might see my personal information?

The Portobello Clinic will not share your personal information with any companies. We are not responsible for the content of the linked websites, and therefore we recommend that you check the privacy policy of those websites to which this website may link. We will share your information where required to do so by relevant legislation or court orders.

What are cookies?

This website deposits certain bits of information called “cookies” in a visitor’s computer. A cookie is a small amount of data, which often includes an anonymous unique identifier, which is sent to your browser from a website’s computer and stored on your computer’s hard drive. We use cookies to tell us how and when pages in a website are visited and by how many people.

Cookie technology does not collect personal identifiable information; the information collected is in an aggregate, non-identifiable form. The use of cookies is an industry standard, and many major websites use them to provide useful features for their customers.

Each website can send its own cookie to your browser if your browser’s preferences allow it, but (to protect your privacy) your browser only permits a website to access the cookies it has already sent to you, not the cookies sent to you by other sites. You can configure your browser to accept all cookies, reject all cookies, or notify you when a cookie is set. (Each browser is different, so check the “Help” menu of your browser to learn how to change your cookie preferences.)

What if this Privacy Policy changes?

The Portobello Clinic reserve the right to change this privacy policy from time to time. We may notify you of such changes, but it is your responsibility to check the policy each time you use the site.
