This Privacy Policy details how we, Dr Malaika Clinics Limited, collect, use and process personal data provided to us. If you have any questions on this Privacy Policy or otherwise relating to how we process your personal data you can contact us at [email protected].

This Privacy Policy affects your legal rights and obligations so please read it carefully. If you do not agree to be bound by this Privacy Policy, please do not provide your personal data to us. This means that you will be unable to use many of the services offered on our website.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time at our discretion and in particular to reflect any changes in applicable laws. If we do so, and the changes substantially affect your rights or obligations, we shall notify you of the updates if we have your email address. Otherwise, you are responsible for regularly reviewing this Privacy Policy so that you are aware of any updates.

We are the controller of the personal data provided to us for the purposes of applicable data protection legislation.

Our website address is: https://drmalaikaclinics.co.uk.

Whose data we collect

By personal data we mean identifiable information about you, such as your name, email address, gender, age, mobile and home telephone number and your IP address.

We do not knowingly collect personal data about any individual under the age of 18.

Information you provide to us

From time to time you may provide to us personal data. This may be because you wish to:

  • use our website; 
  • create an account with us on our website;
  • book an appointment;
  • otherwise contact us including with queries, comments or complaints.

You may provide personal data to us directly, or to us through our social media platforms.

We shall process all such personal data in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Certain personal data is mandatory to be provided to us in order that we can fulfil your request.

If you provide to us personal data about any other individual, for example, if you wish to book an appointment for another individual, you must have their consent to do so.

All personal data that you provide to us must be true, complete and accurate. If you provide us with inaccurate or false data, and we suspect or identify fraud, we will record this and we may also report this to the appropriate authorities.

At our request, you shall promptly provide evidence of your identity. 

When you contact us by email or post, we may keep a record of the correspondence and we may also record any telephone call we have with you.

  • how long you used the website and which services and features you used.

Some of this information is collected using cookies and similar tracking technologies.

Information we receive from others

We may receive personal data about you from our training providers, and from other users of our website and services if they choose to provide it to us for any reason.

If we reasonably believe that any of the personal data you have provided to us is inaccurate, we may receive further personal data from third parties, confirming or otherwise, your identity.

Lawful use of your personal data

We will only use your personal data where we have a lawful basis to do so. 

The lawful purposes that we rely on under this Privacy Policy are:

  • consent (where you choose to provide it);
  • performance of our contract with you;
  • compliance with legal requirements; and
  • legitimate interests.

When we refer to legitimate interests we mean our legitimate business interests in the normal running of our business which do not materially impact your rights, freedom or interests.

We may from time to time need to use your personal data to comply with any legal obligations, demands or requirements, for example, as part of anti-money laundering processes or to protect a third party’s rights, property, or safety.

We may also use your personal data for our legitimate interests including:

  • to improve our website and services;
  • in connection with, or during negotiations of, any merger, sale of assets, consolidation or restructuring, financing, or acquisition of all or a portion of our business by or into another company;
  • to deal with any customer services you require;
  • for audit purposes; and
  • to contact you about changes to this Privacy Policy as set out above.

Who we share your data with

To book an appointment, we use a third party site Glowday, who will retain certain identifiable information about you, such as your name, email address, gender, age, mobile and home telephone number and your IP address. You can view their privacy policy here: https://www.glowday.com/privacy-policy

For our legitimate interests, we may share your personal data with our service providers, sub-contractors and agents that we may appoint to perform functions on our behalf and in accordance with our instructions, including IT service providers, payment providers, accountants, auditors and lawyers.

We shall provide our service providers, sub-contractors and agents only with such of your personal data as they need to provide the service for us and if we stop using their services, we shall request that they delete your personal data or make it anonymous within their systems.
