Privacy Policy

Introduction

Health and Longevity Optimisation Limited (referred to as “Hooke”, “Hooke London”, “Hooke Fitness”, “we” and “our” in this policy) is committed to ensuring the privacy of our clients. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect and process Personal Data (as defined below).  

Hooke London provides an integrative, personalised, preventative, high-end health service, including comprehensive screening, ongoing assessments by clinicians and health experts, advanced analytics, personal training, physiotherapy and osteotherapy all enabling the optimisation of clinical and lifestyle interventions (the ‘Services’).

Information we collect and how

For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, the term “Personal Data” means any information which identifies you or which allows you to be identified when combined with other information.

“Special Category Data” means any data that requires more protection because it is sensitive.  This includes health information and medical data.

Personal Data and Special Category Data does not include data where your identity has been removed (“Anonymised Data”).

Information we collect from you

Basic Identifiers and Contact Information: We collect some information from you when you provide it to us directly, such as via an email or an online form.  This information may include your name, email, and phone number as well as other information.

Health and other Special Category Data: You may provide us with health and medical information directly. We will also receive such information from our third party providers in the course of providing the Services to you, as described below.  

Information we obtain from third party providers

In the course of providing the Services, we will receive Personal Data from third parties with whom we have agreements in place.  These include:

• Third party service providers such as genomic sequencing and pathology laboratories, and reporting providers;
• Wearable device services, where you choose to share such device data with us.

Aggregated Anonymised Data

We may use anonymised aggregated data to improve our Services or otherwise in connection with our business.   Such data is not considered to be Personal Data.  

However, if we combine or connect any anonymised aggregated data with any of your Personal Data that enables you to be directly or indirectly identified, we will treat such data as Personal Data to be used in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

CCTV Monitoring

We operate CCTV cameras to help maintain the security of our premises, our staff and our clients, and for the prevention of crime.  Physical notices of CCTV camera use are posted at our premises.

Purposes for which we will use your Personal Data

We will collect and use your Personal Data in order to provide the Services you have requested.  

The legal bases we rely upon to use your Personal Data include the contract we have with you, where we need to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation or when you have given your consent.  

The legal bases upon which we will process health and other Special Category Data in delivering the Services to you are: the provision of preventative medicine; medical diagnosis; and the provision of health care and treatment. CCTV images may be used to identify an individual, in which case processing will be necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, or carried out on the basis of substantial public interest for the purposes of detecting and preventing crime 

We will only use your Personal Data for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose.   If we need to use your Personal Data for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and we will explain the legal basis which allows us to do so.

We may use your Personal Data in line with our legitimate interests, including:

• To administer, protect and improve our Services and website (including troubleshooting, data analysis, testing, support, fraud, reporting and hosting of data).
• To inform you of products or services that we provide.
• In the case of CCTV cameras on our premises, to prevent crime, to protect against damage or theft, and to protect the safety of staff and clients.

Purposes for which we will share your Personal Data

In order to provide Services to you, we will use third parties as set out below.

Sharing with our service providers

We may share your Personal Data with our third party business service providers who perform functions on our behalf in order to provide the Services.  These may include:

• Providers of Hooke Fitness physiotherapy, osteopathy, and personal training services.
• IT service providers and system administrators;
• Data hosts and providers of programming or technical support;
• Professional advisers including lawyers, accountants, bankers, auditors, regulators.

We may share Special Category Data in order to provide the Services, with:

• Third party service providers such as genomic sequencing, pathology and reporting providers, and Hooke Fitness trainers, physiotherapists and osteopaths;

• Chemists, and any other health care practitioners with whom you may consent for data to be shared.

When required by law

We may also share Personal Data if we are also under a duty to disclose or share your Personal Data in order to comply with any legal obligation, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of our business, our customers or others.

To enforce legal rights

We may also share Personal Data: (i) If disclosure is required in legal proceedings; (ii) as necessary to protect legal rights; (iii) to enforce our agreements with you; and (iv) to investigate, prevent, or take other action regarding illegal activity, suspected fraud or other wrongdoing.

Cross-border data transfers

Sharing of Personal Data sometimes involves cross-border data transfers, including transfers outside of the EEA in accordance with the law. We only transfer Personal Data to entities in third countries that have been held to provide an adequate level of protection for Personal Data, or where contractual terms have been adopted to meet the legal requirements for such transfers.

Data security

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your Personal Data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed.  We use encryption in order to store your Personal Data and your Special Category Data as well as to share your data with the MDT.

We limit access to your Personal Data to those employees, agents, contractors, healthcare providers and other third parties who have a business need to know.  We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

Data retention

We will retain your Personal Data for as long as necessary to comply with a contract we have with you, or to comply with our legal obligations (for example, if we are required to retain your data to comply with applicable laws), resolve disputes, comply with insurance obligations and enforce our legal agreements and policies.  As a regulated independent healthcare provider, we are required by law to retain health and medical records for prescribed periods.  For medical records, this will typically be for a period of 8 years following the end of treatment, and where mental health care is provided, for 20 years following treatment.

CCTV recordings will be retained only for as long as necessary for any incidents such as unauthorised access to the premises or theft to come to light and to be investigated and for no longer than 1 year.  Recordings will thereafter be permanently deleted.

Your duty to inform us of changes

It is important that the personal data we hold about you is accurate and current. Please keep us informed if your personal information changes during your relationship with us.
