We will call this type of information ‘data’. Your images, reports and test results are also part of your personal data, but are a bit more specific, therefore we might call it “patient data”.
The types of data we collect and use, may include:
If you are employed by London Pregnancy Clinic we will also hold and process other information relating to your employment (You can obtain a copy of the Employee Privacy Notice from our Head of Staff).

Our legal basis for using your data
UK GDPR requires us to have a lawful basis for everything we do with your personal data, and — because health information is “special category” data — a second, additional condition for that. This table sets out both. Our handling of your clinical information is also covered by the common-law duty of confidentiality that applies to all healthcare professionals.
| What we use it for | Lawful basis (Article 6) | Additional condition for health data (Article 9) |
|---|---|---|
| Providing your care — appointments, scans, tests, results and clinical records | Article 6(1)(b) — performance of our contract with you | Article 9(2)(h) — health or social care, subject to professional secrecy (DPA 2018 Sch 1 Pt 1 para 2) |
| Taking payment, invoicing and refunds | Article 6(1)(b) — performance of our contract with you | Not applicable — no health data is used for this |
| Meeting our legal and regulatory duties, including CQC requirements and record retention | Article 6(1)(c) — compliance with a legal obligation | Article 9(2)(h) and, where relevant, 9(2)(i) — public health and healthcare standards |
| Patient safety, complaints and clinical governance | Article 6(1)(c) and 6(1)(f) — legal obligation and our legitimate interest in safe care | Article 9(2)(h) — health or social care |
| Marketing emails and review invitations | Article 6(1)(a) — your consent, which you can withdraw at any time | Not applicable — no health data is used for this |
| Analytics and advertising cookies, and advert conversion measurement | Article 6(1)(a) — your consent, given through our cookie banner | Not applicable — no health data is used for this |
| CCTV in our waiting room and reception | Article 6(1)(f) — our legitimate interest in the safety of patients and staff | Not applicable |
Where we rely on your consent, you can withdraw it at any time by emailing info@londonpregnancy.com. Withdrawing consent does not affect anything we did before you withdrew it, and it does not affect the care we have already provided.
Our service providers (data processors)
The table below lists the third-party services we use to run the clinic, what each one does, the data it handles, and where it is based.

How long do we hold your data for?
We only hold your personal data for as long as it is necessary or in consistence with the legal requirements.
We are required to keep clinical records for a set period. Following the Records Management Code of Practice for Health and Social Care, we keep maternity records (including your antenatal scans) for 25 years after the birth of your last child, and other adult clinical records — gynaecology, fertility, GP and genetics — for 8 years after your last appointment. Records for a patient under 18 are kept until their 25th birthday.
We have an internal retention policy in place which sets out how we use your data, other than patient data (delivery of services, marketing, improvement of our service), which includes the associated retention periods. For example, for marketing purposes, we only keep your data while you give your consent to receive communications from us.
We keep anonymous data about our patients for an indefinite period of time. This type does not contain personal information that could be used to identify you.
Differential retention requirements will require differential storage periods and capacity.
When we are to delete your data, we fully abide by the duty to ensure confidentiality is maintained during the destruction of health records, including when the task is given to a third-party contractor.
Where is your data stored and how do we keep it secure?
Any medical data you give us is stored safely on a private database. This database is only used by our doctors, customer support team, and a small number of other employees on a need-to-know basis, such as IT support. This platform is hosted on our servers or third party’s server, based in the EU. These providers are ISO 27001 certified which is the international standard that describes best practice for information security management.
Our promise
Although we do everything we can to protect your personal data, sending information over the internet is never completely secure.
If you know of any security problem, please tell us as soon as possible.
- Our security measures protect you against unauthorised access, changes, disclosure, or destruction of your data.
- We regularly review our security measures, including how we collect, process and store data. Part of this means encrypting data and putting in place physical and organisational security measures to protect our storage systems.
- Your payment transaction and your personal data are encrypted using SSL technology
- Every member of our staff signs and agrees to a confidentiality agreement when they start working for us and are trained on data-protection regulations.
- Access to your data is only given to employees on a need-to-know basis.
- All our suppliers have to abide to privacy undertakings, in accordance with the applicable data protection laws and regulations.
- Some countries may not offer the same level of personal data protection as in the EEA in which case we will have a specific agreement with our suppliers to ensure adequate safeguards are in place for transferring data, that meet the standards of the EU model.
