Privacy at a glance
BodyRepair processes personal information to provide its website, user accounts, health-led pathways, programme tools, support services and optional professional collaboration.
We aim to explain what information is collected and why it is needed.
We seek to collect only information relevant to the service, pathway or enquiry.
Optional professional access is intended to remain permission-based and revocable.
Data-protection law provides rights concerning access, correction, restriction and other uses of personal data.

2. What does this policy cover?
This privacy policy applies to personal information processed through:
Separate or additional privacy information may be provided when a specific feature requires more detailed explanation at the point where information is collected.
3. Information we may collect
A visitor using the public website provides far less information than a registered user completing a health-led BodyRepair pathway.
4. Health and special-category information
Information concerning health, injury, treatment, medication, pregnancy and related matters may constitute special-category personal data under UK data-protection law.
Where BodyRepair processes this information, it must identify both an Article 6 lawful basis and an additional condition permitting the processing of special-category information.
Before launch, BodyRepair must confirm the precise lawful bases and special-category conditions that apply to each clinical and health-data workflow. These depend on the final operating model, contracts, professional roles and purpose of the processing.
BodyRepair should also provide relevant just-in-time notices where sensitive information is requested, explaining why the information is needed and whether providing it is optional or necessary for pathway access.
5. Why we use personal information
The applicable lawful basis depends on the processing activity. The table below describes the intended framework and must be reviewed against the final BodyRepair service.
| Purpose | Information involved | Potential lawful basis |
|---|---|---|
| Create and administer user accounts | Identity, contact, authentication and account information | Contract and legitimate interests |
| Deliver BodyRepair pathways and requested services | Account, programme, activity, recovery and pathway information | Contract; special-category condition required where health data is involved |
| Conduct health and safety screening | Health, injury, symptom, medication and treatment information | To be confirmed before operational launch; appropriate special-category condition required |
| Respond to contact and support enquiries | Contact details, enquiry content and technical information | Contract steps, legitimate interests or legal obligation depending on the request |
| Maintain platform security and prevent misuse | IP address, access logs, device information and security events | Legitimate interests and legal obligations |
| Enable optional professional sharing | Selected health, pathway, treatment and performance records | User instruction, contract and an appropriate special-category condition |
| Process privacy and legal requests | Identity, correspondence and verification information | Legal obligation |
| Improve accessibility and platform performance | Usage, technical, feedback and error information | Legitimate interests, with consent where required for non-essential technologies |
| Send marketing communications | Name, email address, preferences and engagement information | Consent or another permitted basis under applicable direct-marketing rules |
6. Where information comes from
BodyRepair may receive personal information from:
Where information is obtained from another source, BodyRepair will provide relevant privacy information unless an applicable legal exception applies.
7. Artificial intelligence and automated processing
BodyRepair may use artificial intelligence or rule-based systems to organise user-provided information, identify patterns, produce summaries, support pathway generation or surface safety prompts.
BodyRepair does not intend to use unrestricted AI to diagnose medical conditions or independently override defined health and safety rules.
Where a decision produces a legal or similarly significant effect through solely automated processing, BodyRepair will assess whether additional rights and safeguards apply.
8. Who we may share information with
Personal information may be shared with:
BodyRepair does not sell personal health information to third parties.
Optional professional access
Where professional sharing is enabled, BodyRepair is designed to provide controlled access to information selected by the user.
9. International transfers
Where personal information is transferred to a country or organisation outside the United Kingdom, BodyRepair will assess the transfer mechanism and safeguards required under applicable data-protection law.
These safeguards may include:
The final notice should identify the actual categories of international transfers after BodyRepair confirms its hosting, authentication, email, analytics, AI and support providers.
10. How long information is kept
Retention depends on the type of information, the purpose for which it is used and any legal, contractual, safety or dispute-resolution requirements.
| Record | Indicative retention approach |
|---|---|
| Contact enquiries | Retained only for the period needed to respond, manage follow-up and meet applicable legal requirements |
| Account records | Retained while the account is active and for an appropriate period after closure |
| Health and pathway records | Retained according to the user service, safety requirements, contractual arrangements and the final BodyRepair retention schedule |
| Professional-sharing records | Retained to document permissions, access, recommendations and withdrawal where appropriate |
| Payment and transaction information | Retained for accounting, taxation, fraud prevention and legal requirements |
| Security and technical logs | Retained for a proportionate period needed for security, troubleshooting and misuse prevention |
| Legal and privacy requests | Retained as necessary to demonstrate compliance and respond to disputes or regulatory enquiries |
Precise retention periods should be inserted after the final database, clinical operating model, insurance requirements and contractual arrangements have been reviewed.
11. How information is protected
Depending on the service and the final technical implementation, safeguards may include:
No online system can guarantee absolute security. Users should protect their credentials, use strong unique passwords and report suspected unauthorised access promptly.
12. Your data-protection rights
The availability of a particular right can depend on the lawful basis, the type of information and any applicable legal exception.
Receive clear information about how your personal data is used.
Request confirmation and a copy of personal information held about you.
Ask for inaccurate or incomplete personal information to be corrected.
Request deletion in circumstances where the right applies.
Ask for processing to be limited in certain circumstances.
Request eligible information in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format.
Object to certain processing, including direct marketing.
Request appropriate safeguards where solely automated processing produces a qualifying significant effect.
Withdraw consent at any time where consent is the basis for processing, without affecting earlier lawful processing.
13. How to exercise your rights
To make a privacy request, email:
BodyRepair may need to verify your identity before disclosing, correcting or deleting personal information. You will not normally be charged for exercising a data-protection right, although applicable law permits fees or refusal in limited circumstances involving manifestly unfounded or excessive requests.
14. Complaints
Please contact BodyRepair first so that we have an opportunity to investigate and respond.
You also have the right to complain to the United Kingdom’s data-protection supervisory authority, the Information Commissioner’s Office.
Current ICO contact details and complaint procedures should be obtained from the ICO’s official website.
15. Children and young people
The final BodyRepair service must state whether it is intended for people under 18, the minimum account age and how parental responsibility, consent, safeguarding and age-appropriate privacy information will be managed.
Do not remove this section until BodyRepair has formally determined its age eligibility and safeguarding model.
16. Cookies and similar technologies
Essential cookies or local-storage technologies may be used to provide security, remember settings, maintain sessions and support core website or application functions.
Optional analytics, advertising or preference technologies should not be activated unless the required notice and consent arrangements are in place.
17. External websites and services
BodyRepair may link to third-party websites, app stores, professional services or compatible device providers. This privacy policy does not control how those separate organisations process personal information.
Review the privacy information provided by the relevant third party before providing information or enabling an integration.
18. Changes to this policy
BodyRepair may update this privacy policy to reflect changes in services, suppliers, technology, law or regulatory guidance.
Material changes affecting how personal information is used should be brought to users’ attention before the new processing begins where required.
The effective date and last-reviewed date at the top of this page will be updated when the policy changes.
