Your data protection rights under UK GDPR
The UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) is the United Kingdom's primary data protection law following Brexit. It works alongside the Data Protection Act 2018 to set out the key principles, rights, and obligations for the processing of personal data.
Heath-leopard is committed to complying with UK GDPR requirements and protecting the personal data of all individuals who interact with our services.
For the purposes of UK GDPR, heath-leopard acts as the data controller for personal information collected through our website and educational services. This means we determine the purposes and means of processing your personal data.

Under UK GDPR, we must have a lawful basis for processing your personal data. We rely on the following bases:
When you enrol in one of our programmes, we process your data to fulfil our contractual obligations to you. This includes managing your enrolment, communicating about sessions, and providing programme materials.
We process certain data based on our legitimate business interests, provided these interests do not override your fundamental rights and freedoms. This includes improving our services, website functionality, and responding to general enquiries.
Where required, we obtain your explicit consent before processing personal data. You may withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out prior to withdrawal.
We may process data where necessary to comply with legal or regulatory requirements.
You have the right to receive clear, transparent information about how we use your data. This GDPR page, together with our Privacy Policy, fulfils this obligation.
You may request a copy of the personal data we hold about you. We will respond to valid requests within one month. There is no fee for most requests, though we may charge a reasonable fee for manifestly unfounded or excessive requests.
If personal data we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to have it corrected. We aim to rectify data within one month of receiving a valid request.
Also known as the "right to be forgotten," you may request deletion of your personal data in certain circumstances, including when the data is no longer necessary for its original purpose or when you withdraw consent.
You may request that we limit how we use your data while concerns about accuracy or lawfulness are resolved.
Where technically feasible, you may request that your personal data be provided to you or transferred directly to another organisation in a commonly used, machine-readable format.
You have the right to object to processing based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing purposes. We will cease processing unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds.
You have the right not to be subject to decisions based solely on automated processing that significantly affect you. We do not currently use automated decision-making processes.
To exercise any of your UK GDPR rights, please contact us at [email protected]. We will verify your identity before processing requests and aim to respond within one month.
Our youth programmes involve processing data of individuals under 18. For children under 13, we require parental or guardian consent before processing personal data. Parents and guardians may exercise data protection rights on behalf of their children.
We primarily process data within the United Kingdom. If any data is transferred outside the UK, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place in accordance with UK GDPR requirements.
In the event of a personal data breach that poses a risk to individual rights and freedoms, we will notify the Information Commissioner's Office within 72 hours. Where the breach is likely to result in high risk to affected individuals, we will also notify those individuals directly.
If you are dissatisfied with how we handle your personal data, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office:
