When you visit this website, technical data such as your IP address, browser information, device information and access logs may be processed by hosting and website-service providers to deliver, protect and maintain the site. We do not offer an online appointment booking or contact submission form on this website.
If you choose to contact the practice by email or telephone, we may process the contact information and content you provide to respond to your enquiry. Please avoid sending sensitive medical information through ordinary email unless necessary; contact the practice to arrange an appropriate communication channel.
Technical processing supports website operation, security and service delivery, based on applicable legitimate interests or other appropriate legal grounds. Information received through email or telephone is used to handle your request and may be processed on the basis of steps requested before providing services, legitimate interests or applicable legal obligations, as appropriate. Where a separate legal basis is required for health-related data, that basis is assessed in the context of healthcare provision.

Website hosting, analytics and communications providers may process relevant data on our behalf or as independent service providers. Google Analytics is provided by Google. Processing or access from outside the European Economic Area may occur, subject to applicable data protection safeguards. Details of specific providers and retention settings should be reviewed against the website's actual configuration.
Subject to applicable conditions under the GDPR, you may request access to personal data, correction, erasure, restriction of processing, portability where relevant, and object to certain processing. Where processing relies on your consent, you may withdraw it at any time without affecting earlier lawful processing.
