  • book, manage and deliver smoking or vaping cessation sessions;
  • keep accurate and confidential professional records;
  • process payments, invoices and tax records;
  • respond to complaints, legal issues, insurance matters or safeguarding concerns;

  • Consent: for optional marketing and, where appropriate, health-related information.
  • Legal obligation: for accounting, tax and legal record keeping.

Health, wellbeing and smoking or vaping cessation information may be special category data under Article 9 UK GDPR. Where we process this information, we rely on Article 9(2)(a): explicit consent, unless another lawful condition applies, such as legal claims or safeguarding.

5. Explicit consent for health and cessation data

“I explicitly consent to Greg Nejedly trading as Quit With Greg collecting, using and securely storing my health, wellbeing, smoking, vaping and session information for the purpose of assessing suitability, providing smoking or vaping cessation support, keeping professional records and managing related administration.”

This consent is separate from marketing consent.

You may withdraw consent at any time by emailing hello@quitwithgreg.co.uk. Withdrawal does not affect processing carried out before withdrawal. If you withdraw consent, we may be unable to continue providing services. We may still retain limited records where needed for legal, insurance, accounting, safeguarding or professional reasons.

We may share information only where necessary with:

  • accountants, insurers, legal advisers or professional advisers;
  • HMRC, regulators, courts or law enforcement where required;
