Privacy Policy

We are committed as a company dealing with members of the public, to protecting the privacy of all individuals using our service.

Personal Information

PEAK Physiotherapy Limited may require personal information from an individual to support their treatment process or in order to collect appropriate information to handle their enquiry.

Personal information may include name, date of birth, address, email address, contact number, source of referral, and brief details of their condition requiring physiotherapy, and may be collected in a number of ways, depending upon the situation:

  • Over the telephone e.g. to confirm details of personal information/treatment status/referral source/appointment time and date etc.
  • By email, e.g. in response to a client enquiry.
  • Via the website, e.g. when an individual completes the ‘contact us’ form with an enquiry.
  • At Initial Assessment, where the assessing therapist completes various forms as part of the client's physiotherapy records.
  • At the point of referral from an external source, e.g. through an insurance intermediary that may be referring the individual, as personal information is sent to us about the individual being referred.
  • Through an informal or formal complaint, where details are required in order to handle the complaint effectively and in accordance with the Company's Complaints Policy and Procedures.

When an individual discloses personal information about themselves verbally, or in writing, they consent to our use of the information for physiotherapy purposes. This information is held and used in compliance with GDPR 2016 (see Confidentiality and Data Protection Policy).

Personal information is not disclosed to any third party without obtaining your prior consent, unless we are required to do so by the referral source (as agreed between the referral source and individual being referred), or by law.

Access to Personal Information

An individual under the care of PEAK Physiotherapy Limited has the right under GDPR 2016 to ask us to provide them with the information we hold about them and to have any inaccuracies corrected.

If an individual requires access to a copy of this information, they must request this in writing as a Data Subject Access Request. Please telephone 07908 684441 and speak to Sarah Joice regarding this process.

Once the request is received and deemed to be valid, a check will be made to establish if this information is held with PEAK Physiotherapy Limited.

Once the request has been validated, the information is gathered and assessed as to whether personal data exemptions may apply (Information Commissioner’s Office and GDPR 2016), whether the individual’s legal rights may be affected, or any other third parties may need to be informed (e.g. the referring insurance intermediary). Requests must be dealt with by PEAK Physiotherapy Liited within 30 days from receipt of the request.
