How we look after your information

Your name, contact details and date of birth; details of your surgery and hospital; and the answers you give in your questionnaire about your health, lifestyle, symptoms and wellbeing.

To understand your health before surgery and support you with coaching and guidance to help you feel as ready as possible. We only collect what we need for this.

We use your information because you’ve given us your consent. You can withdraw it at any time.

Your surgeon and hospital team, when needed to support your care — especially if anything you tell us may be clinically significant or suggests a risk of harm.

Hospital coordinators can see whether you’ve completed your questionnaire, but not your answers. We never sell your data or use it for advertising.

Beyond Surgery Ltd is the data controller for the information you give us. For any question about your data, email hello@beyondsurgery.co.uk.

Under UK GDPR, we use your information because you have given us your consent. Information about your health is special category data, and we use it only with your explicit consent. You can withdraw your consent at any time.

We keep your information securely for 12 months, after which it’s permanently deleted.

Please let us know in the app if your surgery date changes, or if anything changes clinically — for example, if you start a new medication — so we can keep supporting you safely.

Beyond Surgery is a coaching programme. It isn’t designed for clinical diagnosis or treatment, and doesn’t replace advice from your surgical team, GP or other healthcare providers.

Under UK GDPR you can ask to see the information we hold about you, ask us to correct or delete it, or withdraw your consent at any time. If you’re unhappy with how we’ve handled your data, you can complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ico.org.uk).

Email us at hello@beyondsurgery.co.uk — we’re always happy to help.
