Privacy Policy

This privacy policy has been updated to reflect the new General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR).

 

‘Personally, Identifiable Information’ (PII) Is information that can be used on its own or with other information to identify, contact, or locate a single person, or to identify an individual in context. This policy explains why we collect the data we do and how it is used within the business.

 

Please read our privacy policy carefully to get a clear understanding of how we collect, use, protect or otherwise handle your Personally Identifiable Information in accordance with our client consultation and client record keeping process, customer service, website interaction and online booking process.

 

 

 

What information does L.P Massage Therapies collect about me?

 

For insurance purposes we collect information from you during the initial consultation meeting such as name, address, date of birth, email address and phone number, any past or current medical conditions including allergies, current medications taken and if you are receiving medical treatment or under a doctor’s supervision for any suspected medical condition. 

This information is required as some treatments may not be appropriate for people with certain conditions and/or, you may be asked to obtain a doctor’s approval (in writing) before treatment can commence.

 

To make an accurate assessment to determine whether your treatment is as safe and effective as possible, it is also a legal requirement to perform a mini consultation before every treatment, even for regular clients. Changes to your health, such as new medical conditions or medication will be recorded and this may mean that a treatment is no longer suitable or safe to be carried out by the therapist. Also, skin, hair and nails can change over time, and if a client has been visiting for years then chances are they won’t be in the same condition as their first consultation!

We also record information when you contact us, including customer service requests and notes or details explaining what you asked and how we responded.

Stripe Online Payment Porcessing

At Stripe, privacy, data protection, and data security are at the very heart of everything we do. We’re continuously working to reset the bar for ourselves in the security and data privacy realm, and view the GDPR as an opportunity for the entire industry to come together on this and improve.

 

Stripe started its efforts towards GDPR compliance back in 2016, and we are working to ensure that our services are GDPR-compliant on the effective date of May 25, 2018.

 

GDPR compliance is comprised of many elements. Among others, we are updating our documentation and agreements to align with GDPR requirements. We are also revising our internal policies and procedures to ensure that they adhere to the GDPR standard.

 

Most of the GDPR compliance elements take place “under the hood” of an organization as they relate to updates on how an organization is processing personal data. These are some of the steps platforms like Stripe are performing for their users (and themselves) in anticipation of the GDPR:

 

Perform a gap analysis between the requirements imposed by the Data Protection Directive and the GDPR, as applicable to the company’s business operations.

 

Review and update internal tools, procedures and policies where necessary.

 

Revise data mapping and data inventory practices, and update where necessary, to comply with record retention obligations under the GDPR.

 

Perform a dedicated gap analysis of privacy and data protection review tooling to meet the Data Protection Impact Assessment requirements.

 

Update approach to international data transfers.

 

Update contracts to reflect Art. 28 GDPR obligations as they relate to the company’s contracting parties.

 

Review and, where necessary, revise relationships with vendors to meet the requirements of the GDPR to ensure that those third parties receive and process personal data in a lawful way.

 

Update the company’s Privacy Compliance Program with continuous employee training to reflect the changes to be implemented for the GDPR.
