6. Special Category Health Data
If you choose to share health-related information with us, including through the AI chat assistant, this may be considered special category data under UK GDPR, which requires additional protection and an explicit condition for processing.
Where we process health-related information, we rely on your explicit consent and the fact that you voluntarily provided the information for the purpose of receiving holistic wellness support.
You may withdraw your explicit consent at any time by contacting us. However, this may affect our ability to provide personalised wellness support.
We do not use health information for advertising, profiling, automated decision-making, or selling to third parties.
Please be mindful that any health information you share through the AI chat assistant is transmitted to Anthropic’s API for processing. We recommend not sharing sensitive medical information through the chat widget.
7. AI Chat Assistant
This website features an AI-powered chat assistant to help visitors find relevant information about Holistic Better You’s services, wellness programmes, and Coral Club products.
How the chat assistant works:
The chat assistant is powered by Claude, an AI model provided by Anthropic PBC. Messages you send through the chat widget are transmitted securely to Anthropic’s API, which generates a response. Anthropic processes these messages in accordance with its own privacy policy, available at anthropic.com/privacy.
What data is collected through the chat assistant:
- The content of messages you send during a chat session
- The page you were visiting when you used the chat
- Your approximate session identifier (anonymised and hashed — no name or email unless you provide them)
- Your detected language preference
- Whether you provided your name and email through the lead capture form within the chat
How chat data is stored:
Anonymised conversation logs may be stored server-side on this website to help monitor service quality and improve the assistant’s relevance and accuracy. These logs do not contain your name or email address unless you chose to provide them through the lead capture form. IP addresses are stored in hashed, non-reversible form and cannot be used to directly identify you.
Lead capture through the chat assistant:
If you choose to provide your name and email address through the chat assistant’s lead capture form, this information will be added to our email subscriber list via MailerLite. You will receive an email with wellness resources as described at the point of submission. You can unsubscribe at any time.
Automated responses:
The AI chat assistant generates responses automatically. It is not operated by a human in real time. For personal advice, consultations, or sensitive enquiries, please contact Dace directly via the contact page or WhatsApp.
8. Email Marketing
If you sign up for our newsletter, free resource, or email series—including through the AI chat assistant—your name and email address will be stored and processed using MailerLite.
We will only send you marketing emails where you have opted in. You can unsubscribe at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in any email or by contacting us directly.
