WHAT DATA DO WE STORE & HOW IS IT USED?
The Posture Practice will collect your name and basic contact details for the purpose of booking your sessions. You will also be required to fill in a PAR-Q detailing your basic medical status in order to ensure that you are suitable for the exercise programmes being offered and you may be asked to fill in a lifestyle questionnaire. This information is stored securely in digital form and may be printed and stored under lock and key and is not accessed by anybody other than Steph at The Posture Practice (except in rare circumstances where there may be an emergency or danger to life, in which case Steph at The Posture Practice may be ethically obliged to share your information with the relevant authorities).
​
For all Low Back Pain sessions and occasionally prior to other sessions (stated when booking) you will be asked to provide more in depth information about your medical history, current status and medications - it may be necessary in some circumstances to communicate with your GP/healthcare professional in regards to your medical status/history. All information shared will be treated in strictest confidence, only viewed by Steph at The Posture Practice; and information only ever shared with your GP/healthcare provider with your explicit consent (except in rare circumstances where there may be an emergency or danger to life, in which case Steph at The Posture Practice may be ethically obliged to share your information with the relevant authorities). This information is stored securely in digital form and may be printed and stored under lock and key and is not accessed by anybody other than Steph at The Posture Practice.
The information is used solely for the purposes of communication in relation to your bookings, risk stratification, and towards designing exercise programmes tailored to your needs and abilities. Information will not be used for marketing purposes unless express permission is granted by you.
