Privacy
Policy.

Last updated: 12 January 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how I (the owner and operator of this website) collect, use, store, and protect any personal information you provide when visiting www.hairlosstreatmentclinicsthetruth.co.uk (the "Website").

This site is a personal project created to share my own experience and publicly available information about Hair Loss Treatment Clinics, Shrewsbury Hair Loss Clinic Limited, My Hair Transplant Manchester, and related individuals and entities. It is not a commercial business or service.

1. Who I Am

This website is operated by me, James, as an individual. Contact: hairlossthetruth@icloud.com I am the sole data controller for any personal data collected through this site.

2. What Personal Data I Collect

I collect minimal personal data and only when you voluntarily provide it:

Contact / Share Your Story Form (if you use it): name (optional), email address, and any message you send.
Technical data automatically collected: IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, time/date of access (via server logs or basic analytics tools like Google Analytics).
Cookies — This site uses only essential cookies (for functionality) and optional analytics cookies (Google Analytics). You can disable them via your browser settings.

I do not collect sensitive personal data (e.g., health information, financial details) unless you voluntarily include it in a form message

(in which case it is processed only to respond or moderate).

3. How I Use Your Personal Data

I use your data only for the following purposes:

To respond to messages or form submissions you send (e.g., if you share your story).
To moderate content and prevent spam/abuse on the site.
To understand site usage (anonymous analytics only – no personal tracking).
To comply with legal obligations (e.g., if required by law or regulators).

I do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for marketing. I do not use it for advertising.

4. Legal Basis for Processing

I process your data on the following legal bases under UK GDPR:

Consent — when you submit a form or agree to optional cookies.
Legitimate interests — for essential site operation, security, and basic analytics (with minimal impact on your privacy).
Legal obligation — if required by law (e.g., responding to a court order).

5. Data Sharing

I may share your data only in these limited circumstances:

With hosting providers or service providers (e.g., domain registrar, email service) under strict data processing agreements.
If required by law, court order, or regulatory authority (e.g., CQC, GMC, police).
In the unlikely event of a sale or transfer of the site (you would be notified).

6. Data Storage & Security

Data is stored securely on encrypted servers in the EU/UK.
I retain data only for as long as necessary: form submissions are kept for up to 12 months or until resolved, then deleted unless required for legal reasons.
I use industry-standard security measures (HTTPS, firewalls), but no system is 100% secure — I cannot guarantee absolute protection.

7. Your Rights (UK GDPR)

You have the following rights regarding your personal data:

Right to access (request what data I hold)
Right to rectification (correct inaccurate data)
Right to erasure ("right to be forgotten")
Right to restrict processing
Right to object to processing
Right to data portability

8. Third-Party Links

This site contains links to external sites (e.g., Trustpilot, Google Reviews, CQC reports). I am not responsible for their privacy practices. Check their policies when visiting.

9. Changes to This Policy

I may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted here with the updated date. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept them.
