Lawful bases and health information
The final notice must state the lawful bases relied upon for each activity and the additional condition used for special-category health information. A general website enquiry form should collect only what is necessary and should not invite detailed clinical information.

The final notice must list or describe the relevant categories of recipient and explain any international-transfer safeguards used by hosting, analytics, communications or form providers.

Information should be retained only for as long as required for the purpose, professional record-keeping or legal obligations. The practice must insert its approved retention periods and the security arrangements relevant to website enquiries.
Your rights
Depending on the circumstances, individuals may have rights to access, correct, erase or restrict personal information, object to certain processing, request transfer of information or withdraw consent. The final notice should explain how to exercise these rights and how to contact the Information Commissioner’s Office.
