Lawful Basis for holding and using case study Information

As a full member of the Association of Reflexologists, I abide by the AoR Code of Practice and Ethics. The lawful basis under which I hold and use your information is my legitimate interests i.e.my requirement to retain the information in order to provide you with the most appropriate training, follow up support, and advice.


You will submit case studies as part of my reflexology training course, these will include health related information and in this instance my requirement is to hold this information until I cease to offer training courses, or for seven years after you have attended my course (as required by my insurance), as this information may be required in the event of an insurance claim made in relation to your training. 


You are required to get signed privacy statements from any person you keep records on, including case studies.  You will be required to submit a copy of this privacy statement along with any case study submitted to your tutor.


As I may hold special category data (i.e. health related information) about your practice clients, the Additional Condition under which I hold and use this information is for me to fulfil my role as a Reflexology trainer bound under the AoR Confidentiality as defined in the AoR Code of Practice and Ethics.

  • Awarding Body
  • The Association of Reflexologists (if required for quality verification purposes), or as required for legal process, or on your request to confirm that you have completed my course satisfactorily) without explaining why it is necessary, and getting your explicit consent. 


I may contact you using the contact preferences you give me in relation to:

  • Providing you with additional supporting material for the course 
  • Reflexology information or information related to health 
  • Future training events, special offers and promotions (you may unsubscribe from this at any time)
