Requires legal review before launch. This is a structural placeholder, not legal advice. Photographs of hair loss and any medical history you send are health data, which is a special category under Article 9 of the UK and EU GDPR. Processing it needs an identified lawful basis and explicit consent. The live site's existing policy should be reviewed by a qualified adviser and its substance carried over here.
