Health care professionals providing you with care are required by law to maintain records about your health and any treatment or care you have received. These records help to provide you with the best possible treatment and help us to ensure that safe care is provided to you.
We collect and hold data for the purpose of providing treatment services to you and running our clinic, which includes monitoring the quality of care that we provide.

Our records include basic details about you, such as your name and address, in addition to more sensitive information about your health, including medical history, results of investigations: laboratory tests, x-rays, etc., in order to plan and provide the appropriate treatment and care for you.

We do not make, and do not allow Google to make, any attempt to find out the identities of those visiting our website.
Like most webpages, our web pages use “cookies”. A cookie is a small file of letters and numbers that we place on your computer or mobile device if you agree.

Demographic and statistical information about user behaviour collected via Google Analytics is used to evaluate the effectiveness of 92 Harley Street’s website and help enhance our content to be more useful, such as seeing which pages are most used, which pages people spend the most amount of time on etc. We also use it to look at the impact of our marketing campaigns, for example, to see if more referrals come from a specific website we have been partnering with.
Any disclosure of this information is always anonymised and will never identify individual users.

We will never share your information outside of health partner organisations without your explicit consent unless there are exceptional circumstances, such as when the health or safety of others is at risk, where the law requires it, or to carry out a statutory function.
