Contact details: Anthony Gore, trading as Anthony Gore Nutrition, Finglas, Dublin, Ireland. Email: anthonygore@anthonygorenutrition.com.
1. Our services
Anthony Gore Nutrition provides nutritional therapy services, including consultations, dietary and lifestyle analysis, personalised nutrition and lifestyle recommendations, supplement guidance, biochemical testing support, workshops, seminars and corporate wellness services.
2. Personal data we collect
Depending on how you interact with us, we may collect:
· identity and contact details, such as your name, postal address, email address, telephone number, date of birth and emergency contact details;
· appointment, enquiry and correspondence records;
· health and lifestyle information, including medical history, symptoms, diet, medication, supplements, test results, consultation notes and agreed health plans;
· information about your GP or other healthcare providers, where relevant;
· billing, transaction and payment status information. Payment card details are normally processed by our payment provider and are not retained by us;
· Depending on your choices and the MailerLite features we enable, we may collect your email address, subscription date and source, consent record, unsubscribe status, and information about whether a newsletter is opened or a link is selected. We use this information to manage subscriptions, demonstrate consent, deliver newsletters, understand engagement and improve our communications.
· technical information generated when you use our website, such as IP address, device and browser information, cookie identifiers and website usage data.
Please provide only information that is accurate, relevant and necessary. If you give us personal data about another person, please ensure you are entitled to do so.
3. How we collect personal data
We collect personal data directly from you when you complete forms or questionnaires, book or attend a consultation, make a payment, subscribe to communications, or contact us by website, email, telephone or post. We need certain identity, contact, appointment, payment and relevant health information to enter into or perform our contract with you. If you do not provide information that is necessary for these purposes, we may be unable to arrange or provide the requested service. With your knowledge and, where required, your consent, we may also receive information from laboratories, testing providers, your GP, another healthcare professional, a referrer or a person acting on your behalf. Our website and service providers may collect limited technical data automatically.
4. How and why we use personal data
We use personal data only where we have a lawful basis under data protection law. Our purposes and usual lawful bases are:
· Providing and administering services: to respond to enquiries, arrange appointments, deliver agreed services, maintain records and manage payments. The usual basis is performance of a contract or taking steps at your request before entering a contract.
· Clinical records and health information: to assess your needs and provide nutritional therapy. Health data is special category data. We process this data with your explicit consent under Article 9(2)(a) GDPR. We may also retain or use limited health information where necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal claims under Article 9(2)(f) GDPR. You may withdraw consent at any time, but this will not affect processing already carried out or information that we must retain for another lawful reason.
· Safety, legal and professional obligations: to protect vital interests, comply with law, establish or defend legal claims, handle complaints and meet applicable professional or insurance requirements.
· Business administration and service improvement: to operate and secure our practice and website, prevent fraud or misuse, maintain business records, understand how our services are used and improve our services. We rely on our legitimate interests in running an efficient and secure practice and improving our services, except where those interests are overridden by your rights and interests.
· Marketing: to send newsletters or promotional communications where permitted by law. We normally obtain your clear, affirmative consent before sending electronic marketing. In limited cases, we may contact an existing customer about our own similar services where the conditions of the Irish ePrivacy Regulations are met. We provide a clear way to opt out when details are collected and in every electronic marketing message. You may unsubscribe or object to direct marketing at any time.
When you subscribe, we will add you to our mailing list. We will not send spam and will use the mailing list only to share helpful and inspiring information about our services and related topics. You can unsubscribe at any time by using the unsubscribe link in any marketing email or by contacting us.
Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw it at any time. Withdrawal does not affect processing carried out before withdrawal.
5. Sharing personal data
We do not sell personal data. We may share the minimum necessary information with the service providers described below. Squarespace processes website hosting, website forms and website analytics data; MailerLite processes newsletter subscriptions, consent records and marketing communications; and Zoho processes business email and related correspondence. We also use laboratories, testing providers, payment or booking providers, cloud storage, IT, accounting and professional advisory providers where required to operate our practice. These providers may act as processors on our instructions or as independent controllers, depending on the service and circumstances.
· laboratories, testing providers, supplement suppliers and other service partners involved in delivering services to you;
· your GP or another healthcare provider, normally with your explicit consent;
· payment, booking, email, website hosting, cloud storage, IT, accounting and professional advisory providers acting under appropriate obligations;
· our professional association, registration body or insurer where necessary to address a complaint, claim or professional obligation; and
· courts, regulators, law-enforcement bodies, emergency services or safeguarding authorities where disclosure is required or permitted by law, or necessary to protect someone’s vital interests.
We may discuss cases for supervision, training or professional development only where information is anonymised so that you are not identifiable, unless you have given explicit consent to another arrangement.
6. International transfers
Squarespace, MailerLite, Zoho and other service providers may process or permit access to personal data outside the European Economic Area. Where a restricted international transfer occurs, we rely on an applicable adequacy decision, approved standard contractual clauses or another lawful transfer mechanism, together with additional safeguards where required. You may contact us for information about the safeguards relevant to your personal data.
7. Data retention
We keep personal data only for as long as necessary for the purpose for which it was collected and to meet legal, professional, insurance, tax and accounting requirements. Our retention schedule covers clinical records, enquiries, Zoho email correspondence, Squarespace form and analytics data, MailerLite subscriber and consent records, financial records and marketing preferences. In setting each period, we consider the purpose of processing, the sensitivity and volume of the data, applicable legal and professional requirements, relevant limitation periods and the need to establish or defend legal claims. At the end of the applicable period, we securely delete or anonymise the data where this is within our control. We may retain a limited suppression record after you opt out of marketing so that we can continue to respect your preference.
8. Security
We may communicate with you through our Zoho business email account. Email messages may contain personal data and, where you choose to include it, health information. Please avoid sending unnecessary health information by ordinary email. We apply appropriate access and account-security controls, but ordinary email may not provide the same protections as a dedicated secure client portal.
9. Cookies and website analytics
Our website uses Squarespace Analytics to help us understand website traffic and how visitors use the site. Analytics cookies and similar non-essential technologies remain disabled unless you give consent through our cookie controls. Strictly necessary cookies may be used without consent where they are required to provide a service you request. The controls offer equally clear options to accept or reject non-essential cookies, do not use pre-selected consent choices and allow you to change or withdraw consent as easily as you gave it.
Our cookie settings identify the cookies and similar technologies currently used on this website, including their providers, purposes and durations. You can reopen the cookie settings at any time to review or change your choices. Browser settings may also allow you to block or delete cookies, although doing so can affect website functionality.
10. Your data protection rights
Subject to applicable conditions and exemptions, you may have the right to:
· ask for access to your personal data;
· ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete data;
· ask us to erase data;
· ask us to restrict processing;
· object to processing based on legitimate interests or to direct marketing;
· receive certain data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and transmit it to another controller;
· withdraw consent at any time; and
· not be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing that produces legal or similarly significant effects, where the right applies.
We do not currently use solely automated decision-making of this kind. To exercise a right, contact us using the details at the start of this policy. We may need to verify your identity. We normally respond within one month, although the law permits an extension in certain circumstances. Rights are not absolute, and we will explain if an exemption applies.
11. Children’s data
Our services are not directed to children through the website unless expressly stated. If services are provided to a person under 18, we will take appropriate steps to involve a parent or guardian where required, provide suitable privacy information and identify a valid legal basis for processing.
12. Complaints
If you have a concern about how we use your personal data, you may contact us using the details at the start of this policy so that we can try to resolve it. You are not required to contact us before lodging a complaint with the Irish Data Protection Commission. Information about making a complaint is available at dataprotection.ie.
13. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy to reflect changes to our services, technology or legal obligations. The latest version will be published on our website with an updated date. If a change materially affects how we use personal data, we will take reasonable steps to bring it to your attention.
We periodically review this policy to ensure that it accurately reflects the personal data collected through our website and practice, including our contact forms, questionnaires, booking and payment systems, email and marketing tools, analytics, cookies, hosting, cloud storage, laboratories and other service providers. We update the policy whenever these arrangements materially change.
