We have years of experience working with aesthetic clinics in South Korea for high level plastic surgery.
I operate in a medical field, where sensitive data is processed.
Our service does not require medical data, only customer name, email and number.
Also, customer complaints, where we filter out negative feedback, are forwarded to you directly and not sent or shown in our system, avoiding the possibility of sensitive data sharing.
My customers did not opt in for communications
If we explore GDPR laws:
"Businesses do not need consent to collect feedback from customers if it is for market research and directly linked to a specific sale or service. However, this feedback cannot be used for marketing without additional consent. A reviews provider acting as a Data Processor can send feedback requests without requiring customers to log in or create accounts, and explicit opt-in is not needed for this purpose."
So provided we are not directly marketing to your customers, feedback requests are acceptable under GDPR and PECR laws.
What are the rules around us giving a 3rd party like Clinic Enhance our customer data?
Clinic Enhance processes customer data as a third-party provider under the GDPR, ensuring compliance with privacy laws. This is typically allowed as part of the client’s service agreement, provided appropriate privacy policies and data protection measures are in place.
Data Processing Agreement (DPA):
Clinic Enhance offers a legally binding DPA, detailing commitments to:
• Process data only for agreed purposes (e.g., review requests).
• Implement strong data security measures.
• Comply with GDPR and relevant legal frameworks.
Legal Basis for Review Requests:
1. Legitimate Interest (GDPR Article 6(1)(f)):
Businesses can process personal data for review requests if it is linked to prior customer interactions, without overriding the customer’s rights.
2. Third-Party Involvement:
• Businesses must inform customers in their privacy policy about data sharing with third-party processors like Clinic Enhance.
• A DPA ensures compliance and transparency.
3. Soft Opt-In Exception:
Review requests can be sent if:
• Contact details were collected during a transaction.
• Customers are informed and given an opt-out option.
Clinic Enhance’s Compliance Measures:
• Signs DPAs with clients to formalize data usage.
• Processes only necessary non-sensitive data (e.g., name, email, phone).
• Includes opt-out options in all communications.
• Keeps all communications strictly review-related and non-intrusive.
Do your contact methods follow compliance laws?
Our email templates will include your company’s full address, as well as an obvious opt out function.
Our SMS similarly will have the sender ID and an obvious opt out function.
Therefore all communications channels comply with privacy laws in both the UK and USA where we operate.
What software do you use to process data?
We use GoHighLevel software to store customer information, who are GDPR compliant. More information can be found on their site at the following links:
