Retention
Usually up to 90 days, and longer only where we need records for abuse prevention or incident investigation.
Until you unsubscribe or withdraw consent. We may keep a minimal suppression record afterwards so we do not accidentally email you again.
Usually up to 24 months after the last meaningful contact unless a longer period is needed for a live contract or dispute.
Usually up to 6 years after the end of the relevant financial year where we need the data for tax, accounting, audit, or legal claims.
Up to 6 months on this device, or until you change your choice or clear browser storage.
We review retention regularly. Where data is no longer needed, we delete it, anonymise it, or reduce it to the minimum record needed to honour opt-outs, defend legal claims, or meet tax and accounting duties.
International transfers
Some suppliers may process personal data outside the UK, including in the United States. Where that happens, we rely on an appropriate transfer mechanism such as UK adequacy regulations, the UK Extension to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework where relevant, or contractual safeguards such as the UK IDTA or the UK addendum to standard contractual clauses.
We do not knowingly upload patient records or special-category clinical files through this website stack. The site is designed for education, signups, and commercial enquiries, not for handling confidential medical histories.

Medical boundary
The Educating GP is a public education platform. It is not a patient portal and it is not designed to receive special-category clinical records, diagnostic images, or urgent medical information.
If you send highly sensitive medical information through a contact route connected to this site, we may delete, redact, or redirect it because the service is not set up for personal care or ongoing clinical case management.
Cookies
We store your privacy preference locally so we can remember your choice. This stays on because it is needed to respect the setting you make.
If you allow optional cookies, pages that offer the newsletter may load the Beehiiv signup embed. If you reject optional cookies, the site keeps direct signup and PDF links available instead.
We do not currently run third-party advertising or retargeting cookies on the site. If that changes, this notice and the cookie banner will be updated before those tools are switched on.
Cookies and similar storage
We always use the minimum local storage needed to remember your privacy choice and keep the site working. The only optional third-party storage currently used on this site comes from the Beehiiv newsletter embed. If you reject optional cookies, we keep the signup link available but block the embedded form.
You can change this choice at any time. Details are in our Privacy Policy.
