What the booking form collects
When you request an appointment the application stores your name, email address, telephone number, the chiropractor and time you chose, the reason for the visit you selected, anything you typed into the notes field, whether you ticked the marketing box, and the IP address the request came from. The IP address is stored only to rate-limit the form against automated abuse.
Why we hold it
To take and keep the appointment, to send you the confirmation and reminder emails, and — where you ticked the box — to send occasional check-up reminders and clinic news. Nothing else. We do not sell, rent or share personal information with anybody, and this website contains no advertising trackers, no analytics scripts and no third-party pixels of any kind.
Health information
The notes field on the booking form is free text and some people use it to describe symptoms. Treat it as what it is: a message to a clinic, transmitted over an encrypted connection and stored in the clinic's booking database. On this demonstration site, please do not put real health information into it.
Emails we send
Booking confirmation
Sent immediately after you book, containing the appointment details and two links: one to confirm and one to cancel. Both links are signed, so they cannot be guessed or altered to reach somebody else's appointment.
Reminder
Sent the evening before your appointment, unless you booked on the same day — in which case you have already had the confirmation email and a reminder would be pointless.
Confirmation and cancellation receipts
Sent when you use one of those links, so there is a record in your own inbox of what you did and when.
Check-up reminders and clinic news
Only if you ticked the box. A few times a year at most, and every message carries a one-click unsubscribe link that works immediately and needs no login.
How long it is kept
Appointment records are kept while they are clinically relevant. Marketing consent is kept until you withdraw it, and withdrawing it takes one click from any message we send. You can ask for your record to be deleted entirely at any time by writing to the address below, and it will be, other than anything a clinic is legally required to retain.
Cookies
This website sets no cookies for visitors. The booking pages use no cookies at all. A session cookie is
set only inside the staff area at /admin.php, which patients never see, and it exists purely to
keep a signed-in member of staff signed in.
Security
The site is served over HTTPS. Staff passwords are stored as salted hashes and never in plain text. Confirm, cancel and unsubscribe links are signed with a keyed hash so that changing a value in the URL invalidates it rather than reaching somebody else's record. Repeated failed sign-in attempts lock a staff account temporarily, and the booking form is rate-limited per IP address.
Your choices
- Unsubscribe from marketing with one click, from any message, with no login.
- Ask what we hold about you, and get a copy.
- Ask for it to be corrected if it is wrong.
- Ask for it to be deleted.
- Book by telephone instead and give us nothing online at all.

Chiropractic care is not a substitute for medical diagnosis. Chiropractic care is not a substitute for medical diagnosis, and nothing on this website is medical advice for your particular problem. We are not physicians: we do not prescribe medication, we do not perform surgery, and we do not treat disease. What we do is examine how your spine and joints move, work on them by hand, and give you something to do between visits. If your problem turns out to be outside that, we say so and refer you — which happens often enough that you should expect it as a normal outcome rather than a failure.
