Depending on how you interact with the website or Dr Khan's services, we may collect:

Health information is classed as special category personal data under UK data protection legislation and is subject to additional protections.

Please avoid providing unnecessary or highly detailed medical information through the website's initial enquiry form.

The lawful basis relied upon will depend on the reason your information is being processed and may include:

Consent

Where you have given permission for your information to be used for a particular purpose.

Contract

Where processing is necessary to provide a service you have requested or to take steps at your request before providing that service.

Legal obligation

Where information must be processed to comply with applicable legal or regulatory requirements.

Legitimate interests

Where processing is reasonably necessary to operate and administer our services, provided those interests do not override your rights.

Where health information or other special category personal data is processed, an appropriate additional condition under UK data protection legislation will also be relied upon.

Dr Khan's services may include consultation regarding treatments or procedures that are subsequently provided by an independent external practitioner or provider.

Where referral is appropriate and you have agreed to proceed, relevant personal information may be shared with the practitioner or provider concerned to facilitate that referral.

Only information reasonably necessary and appropriate for the referral will be shared.

The receiving practitioner or provider may become a separate data controller in respect of information they subsequently collect and process.

Their use of your information will be subject to their own privacy policies and data protection responsibilities.

Where necessary and lawful, information may be shared with:

Reasonable technical and organisational measures are used to protect personal information against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, loss or misuse.

Access to personal information should be limited to individuals who have an appropriate reason to access it.

No internet-based service can guarantee absolute security. Visitors should therefore avoid including unnecessary sensitive or detailed medical information within general website enquiries.

Personal information will only be retained for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected and to meet applicable legal, regulatory, professional or record-keeping requirements.

Different retention periods may apply depending upon the nature of the information.

For example, a general website enquiry may be retained for a different period from information that subsequently becomes part of an appropriate clinical record.
