The GDPR is not a new data protection obligation, it requires us to process personal data with improved security. Replacing and reflecting the previous requirement to have ‘appropriate technical and organisational measures’ under the Data Protection Act 1998 (the 1998 Act). GDPR specifies how we should process and store your personal information (and recognises your rights as a client in relation to this) by ensuring that we minimise the risks of misuse of information and to put appropriate security measures in place (see list below of client rights). Whilst these are broadly equivalent to what was considered good and best practice under the 1998 Act, they are now a legal requirement.

The security and privacy of your data is taken seriously by Beyond Beauty as we need to gather and use information or ‘data’ about you as part of providing you with our services. We are committed to complying with all the Data Protection legal obligations, and will update this as an ongoing document and privacy policy and will inform clients of any changes. (A) This policy applies to clients, and customers both past and present if you fall into one of these categories then you are a ‘data subject’ for the purposes of this policy.

Beyond Beauty has a separate website privacy policy and separate privacy policy. The business has taken steps to protect the security of your data in accordance with our ongoing Data Security Policy and will train staff in data protection responsibilities as part of the induction process. We will only hold data for as long as necessary for the purposes for which we collected it.

This policy explains how Beyond Beauty will hold and process your information. All paper card consultations are stored in a locked cupboard. It will also explain your rights as a data subject.

• be accurate and kept up to date. Any inaccurate data must be deleted or rectified without delay;

Data subjects can make a ‘subject access request’ (‘SAR’) to find out the information we hold about them. This request must be made in writing to the person for responsible for Data in your Company who will coordinate a response.

If you would like to make a SAR in relation to your own personal data, you should make this in writing to the person responsible for Data in the Company. We must respond within one month unless the request is complex or numerous in which case the period in which we must respond can be extended by a further two months.
