Privacy notice

This notice explains how Anchora (the practice of Dr Laura Gastaldi) collects and uses the personal data you provide through this website, in line with UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. Last reviewed 2026.

What we collect

The only personal data this website collects is what you choose to submit through the enquiry form: your name, email address, an optional phone number, the type of enquiry, your message, and your confirmation that you have read this notice.

How we use it, and our lawful basis

We use this information solely to respond to your enquiry and, where you ask us to, to arrange a conversation or consultation. Our lawful basis is your consent in submitting the form, and our legitimate interest in responding to enquiries about the practice. We do not use your details for marketing, and we do not share them with third parties for their own purposes.

Where your enquiry goes

Enquiries are delivered to the practice by email (using Resend, our email provider) and are not stored in any database on this website. Spam protection is provided by Cloudflare Turnstile, a privacy-friendly alternative to traditional CAPTCHAs that does not profile you.

Cookies and analytics

This website sets no tracking cookies and shows no consent banner because none is required. Visitor numbers are measured with Cloudflare Web Analytics, which is cookieless and does not identify individual visitors.

Retention

Enquiry emails are kept only as long as needed to respond and to maintain a record of our correspondence, after which they are deleted. If you become a patient, your clinical records are held separately under the practice's clinical record-keeping obligations, which are described to you at registration.

Your rights

  • To access the personal data we hold about you;
  • To have inaccurate data corrected;
  • To have your data erased, where there is no overriding legal reason to keep it;
  • To restrict or object to certain processing;
  • To withdraw consent at any time.

Data controller and contact

The data controller is Dr Laura Gastaldi, Anchora. ICO registration: TBC. To exercise any of your rights, or to ask a question about your data, email enquiries@lauragastaldi.com. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk).
