Privacy & Cookie Policy
Last updated: July 2026
At HealthBits (accessible from healthbits.co.uk), one of our main priorities is the privacy of our visitors. This Privacy Policy document contains types of information that is collected and recorded by HealthBits and how we use it.
1. General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) Compliance
We are a Data Controller of your information. HealthBits legal basis for collecting and using the personal information described in this Privacy Policy depends on the Personal Information we collect and the specific context in which we collect it:
- HealthBits needs to perform a contract with you (e.g. eligibility checks).
- You have given HealthBits permission to do so (e.g. newsletter subscriptions).
- Processing your personal information is in HealthBits legitimate interests.
- HealthBits needs to comply with UK medical directory regulations.
2. Information We Collect
The personal information that you are asked to provide, and the reasons why you are asked to provide it, will be made clear to you at the point we ask you to provide it.
- Eligibility Checker Data: When you run our BMI eligibility checker, we temporarily collect height, weight, gender, and clinical risk parameters to calculate eligibility. This data is not stored permanently on our servers unless you explicitly sign up for a report.
- Email Subscriptions: If you subscribe to our price alerts or newsletters, we collect your email address. This is stored securely in our subscription registry and is never shared with third parties.
3. Cookies and Web Beacons
Like any other website, HealthBits uses “cookies”. These cookies are used to store information including visitors’ preferences, and the pages on the website that the visitor accessed or visited. The information is used to optimize the users’ experience by customizing our web page content based on visitors’ browser type and/or other information.
4. Consent
By using our website, you hereby consent to our Privacy Policy and agree to its terms. If you have additional questions or require more information about our Privacy Policy, do not hesitate to contact us.
