Sharing photos of your skin and details of your health online is a big step, and you deserve to know exactly how that information is protected. Confidentiality is a core part of good medical care, not an afterthought.
Is my information kept confidential?

How is my data kept secure?
Your information is held within a secure system, and your consultations take place over a secure platform.

What are my rights over my information?
Under data protection law, you have clear rights, including the right to know what information is held about you, to request that inaccurate information is corrected, and to understand how your personal data is used.
