Privacy Policy

Last updated: 29 October 2026

Weight Wellness Pathway ("we", "us") respects your privacy. This policy explains what personal information we collect through weightwellnesspathway.com, why we collect it, and your rights under UK data protection law (UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018).

1. Who we are

The data controller is Dr Samantha Obom, trading as Weight Wellness Pathway.

For any privacy question or request, contact us at dr@weightwellnesspathway.com.

2. What information we collect

Founding Pilot application: your name, email address, your main metabolic or clinical interest, and any optional notes about what you have tried.
Newsletter sign-up: your name and email address.
Consultation enquiries: the details you send when you ask about 1:1 sessions.
Technical data: basic information such as IP address, browser type and the pages you visit, which our website host and security tools may record.

Some information you share in the Pilot application may relate to your health. This is "special category" data. We only use it with your explicit consent, which you give by ticking the consent box on the form. You can withdraw it at any time.

3. How and why we use it

To run the Founding Pilot and send you the educational emails you signed up for.
To send our research newsletter (only if you opted in).
To reply to your questions and consultation requests.
To produce anonymised, aggregated findings for research reviews. You will not be identifiable.
To keep the website secure and working properly.

Our lawful bases are your consent, steps taken at your request before providing a service, and our legitimate interests in running and securing the website.

4. Who we share it with

We never sell your data. We use trusted providers to run the service:

Hostinger: website hosting.
WordPress and WPForms: running the site and handling form submissions.
Mailchimp: sending emails and newsletters.
Google Search Console: helps us see how the website appears in Google search. It does not receive your personal form details.

Some of these providers may process data outside the UK. Where they do, appropriate safeguards are used, such as approved international transfer mechanisms.

5. Cookies

This website uses only the cookies needed to make it work and keep it secure. If we add analytics or marketing cookies in future, we will ask for your consent first and update this policy. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings at any time.

6. How long we keep it

We keep your information only as long as needed for the purposes above. Newsletter and Pilot details are kept until you ask us to delete them or you unsubscribe. Anonymised research data may be kept longer.

7. Your rights

You have the right to access, correct or delete your data, to restrict or object to its use, to withdraw consent at any time, and to request a copy of your data. To use any of these rights, email dr@weightwellnesspathway.com.

If you are unhappy with how we handle your data, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.

8. Medical disclaimer

Weight Wellness Pathway provides educational and metabolic guidance. It is not an emergency service and does not replace diagnosis or care from your GP or specialist.

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top shows when it was last changed.
