Privacy Policy

Last updated: 8 September 2026

​

Simply Nourished respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information.

​

This privacy policy explains how I collect, use and protect your personal information when you visit this website, contact Simply Nourished or use my nutritional therapy services.

​

Who I am

​

Simply Nourished is operated by Kiara Carthy-Barke, Nutritional Therapist.

​

For the purposes of UK data protection law, I am the data controller for personal information processed by Simply Nourished.

​

If you have any questions about this policy or how your information is used, you can contact me at:

Email: kiara@simplynourished.co.uk
Website: simplynourished.co.uk

​

Information I may collect

​

The personal information I collect depends on how you interact with Simply Nourished.

This may include:

​

  • your name and contact details, including your email address and telephone number;

  • information you provide when completing a contact form, booking a discovery call or making an enquiry;

  • information required to arrange appointments and provide services;

  • communications between you and Simply Nourished;

  • payment and transaction information;

  • information about how you use this website, where analytics or similar technologies are enabled; and

  • information you choose to provide when subscribing to emails or downloading resources.

 

If you become a nutritional therapy client, I may also collect information about your health, medical history, symptoms, diet, lifestyle, medications, supplements, test results and other information relevant to providing nutritional therapy.

​

Health information is considered special category personal data under UK data protection law and is treated with additional care and protection.

​

How I use your information

​

I may use your personal information to:

​

  • respond to enquiries and contact requests;

  • arrange discovery calls and appointments;

  • provide nutritional therapy services;

  • prepare and maintain appropriate client records;

  • communicate with you about your appointments or programme;

  • process payments and administer services you have purchased;

  • send resources or communications you have requested;

  • send marketing emails where you have chosen to receive them;

  • manage and improve the website and services;

  • meet professional, legal, regulatory, insurance and record-keeping requirements; and

  • establish, exercise or defend legal claims where necessary.

 

I will only use personal information where I have a lawful basis for doing so.

 

Depending on the circumstances, this may include:

Contract - where processing is necessary to provide a service you have requested or to take steps before entering into a contract with you.

Consent - where you have given me permission to use your information for a particular purpose, for example certain marketing communications.

Legitimate interests - where it is reasonably necessary to operate and improve Simply Nourished and those interests do not override your rights and interests.

Legal obligation - where I need to process information to comply with a legal requirement.

​

Where I process special category information, such as health information, I will also ensure that an appropriate condition under UK data protection law applies. This may include your explicit consent where appropriate.

​

The appropriate lawful basis and special-category condition may depend on the particular circumstances in which your information is being processed.

​

How your information is stored and shared

​

I do not sell your personal information.

​

I may use trusted third-party providers to help operate Simply Nourished and provide my services. These may include providers used for:

​

  • website hosting and website forms;

  • practice and client management;

  • appointment scheduling;

  • email and communications;

  • payment processing;

  • laboratory testing where you choose or agree to undertake testing;

  • accounting and administration; and

  • website analytics and marketing tools where enabled.

 

Currently, these may include Wix for this website and Practice Better for aspects of client and practice management.

​

These providers may process personal information on my behalf or, in some circumstances, act as separate data controllers.

​

Some service providers may process or store information outside the UK. Where this happens, I take reasonable steps to ensure that appropriate data protection safeguards are in place as required by UK data protection law.

​

I may also disclose information where required by law or where necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

​

How long I keep your information

​

I keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected and to meet applicable professional, legal, regulatory, insurance and tax requirements.

​

Different types of information may therefore be retained for different periods.

​

When personal information is no longer required, it will be securely deleted or anonymised where appropriate.

​

Email marketing

​

If you choose to join my mailing list, I may use your contact details to send you nutrition information, news, resources and information about Simply Nourished services.

​

You can unsubscribe at any time by using the unsubscribe link included in marketing emails or by contacting me.

​

Withdrawing your consent to marketing will not affect other communications that are necessary for services you have requested or purchased.

​

Cookies and website analytics

​

This website may use cookies and similar technologies to enable the website to function and, where you have given the necessary consent, to understand how visitors use the website and support analytics or marketing activities.

​

Non-essential cookies will not be used without the consent required by applicable law.

​

You can find further information in the Cookie Policy and manage your preferences through the website's cookie settings.

​

Your data protection rights

​

Depending on the circumstances, UK data protection law gives you rights over your personal information. These can include the right to:

​

  • ask for access to the personal information I hold about you;

  • ask for inaccurate information to be corrected;

  • ask for your information to be deleted in certain circumstances;

  • ask me to restrict the way your information is used in certain circumstances;

  • object to certain uses of your information;

  • request transfer of certain information to you or another organisation; and

  • withdraw consent where processing is based on your consent.

 

These rights are not absolute and whether a particular right applies depends on the circumstances and the lawful basis for processing.

To exercise a data protection right, contact me at kiara@simplynourished.co.uk.

​

Complaints

​

If you have concerns about how I use your personal information, please contact me first so that I can try to resolve the issue.

You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK's data protection regulator.

Changes to this policy

I may update this privacy policy from time to time, for example if my services, technology providers or legal obligations change.

The latest version will always be available on this website.
