Why This Policy Exists
This data protection policy ensures that Elite Physio and Therapy complies with data protection law and follows industry best practices to protect the rights of staff, customers, affiliates, and partners and is open about how it stores and processes individuals’ data to protect from the risks of a data breach
EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) Protection Law
The GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) protection law describes how organisations who conduct business with individuals or entities located in EU (European Union) nations — including Elite Physio and Therapy — must collect, handle, and store personal information.
These rules apply regardless of whether data is stored electronically, on paper, or in any other manner.
To comply with the law, personal information must be collected and used fairly, stored safely, and not disclosed unlawfully. The EU GDPR is underpinned by eight core principles. These state that personal data must:
Be processed fairly and lawfully
Be obtained only for specific, lawful purposes
Be adequate, relevant, and not excessive
Be accurate and kept up to date
Not be held for any longer than necessary
Processed in accordance with the rights of data subjects
Be protected in appropriate ways
Not be transferred outside the European Economic Area (EEA), unless that country or territory also ensures an adequate level of protection.

It is important that this information is handled lawfully and appropriately, in line with the requirements of the Data Protection Act 2018 and the General Data Protection Regulation (collectively referred to as the ‘Data Protection Requirements’).
We take our data protection duties seriously, because we respect the trust that is being placed in us to use personal information appropriately and responsibly.
