Privacy notice.

Who is responsible for your information

The Context is an independent nutrition and lifestyle consulting practice run by Gauri Vishwas. When you enquire or become a client, your information is held by the practice, not by a company or a clinic.

Questions about anything here: thecontextnutrition@gmail.com

What is collected, and when

If you visit this website, the hosting provider may process standard technical information needed to deliver and secure the website.

If you enquire, the information you send is held in that email exchange. Please do not attach reports or detailed medical information to your first message.

If you become a client, the practice collects:

• your name and contact details
• your health history, symptoms and current concerns
• food, sleep, activity, routine and stress information
• laboratory and diagnostic reports you choose to share
• notes made during consultations
• the assessments, plans and reports produced for you

You choose what to share. Some things cannot be assessed without the relevant information, and you will be told when that is the case rather than left to guess.

Why it is collected

Only to do the work you have asked for: understanding your situation, deciding what to look at first, producing your assessment and plan, and following up. It is not used to market to you, and it is never sold or shared for advertising.

Your consent

You give information voluntarily and you can withdraw consent at any time by writing to the contact address below. If you withdraw consent, the practice stops using your information for new work. Some records may need to be retained for the period described below. Contact: thecontextnutrition@gmail.com.

Who else can see it

• Service providers used to run the practice, including Google Drive, Google Forms, email and video-call services. These services enable business operations and may store or process information on the practice’s behalf.
• Software used to prepare your documents. Your information, including material that goes into your report, may be processed through third-party software tools, including AI-assisted ones, to help organise and draft your assessment. Every interpretation and recommendation is made, reviewed and signed off by Gauri, who remains responsible for the content of your report.
• Nobody else, unless you ask for it, or unless the law requires it.

Referral

Where your information suggests that medical assessment is needed, you will be told and directed to a qualified professional. Your information is not sent to anyone without your agreement.

How long it is kept

Client records are kept for three years after your last consultation, so that your history is available if you return and so that the practice can answer questions about work it has done.

How it is protected

Your information held in Google Drive and Gmail is stored in an access-controlled Google account with two-step verification enabled. No system is perfectly secure, and this notice does not claim otherwise.

Your rights

You can ask to:

• see what information is held about you
• correct anything inaccurate
• have your information erased, subject to the retention above
• withdraw consent
• nominate someone to act for you if you are unable to

Write to thecontextnutrition@gmail.com. You will receive a response within 30 days. If you are not satisfied, you may raise a complaint with the Data Protection Board of India.

Children

This work is for adults. Information is not knowingly collected from anyone under eighteen.

Changes

If this notice changes, the updated version appears here with a new date. Material changes affecting existing clients will be communicated directly.
