1. Who we are
Vero Fertility Ltd ("Vero Fertility", "we", "us") operates the website verofertility.com. We are the data controller for personal information collected through this website.
2. What data we collect
We collect the following personal information:
- Quiz data: When you complete the "Find My Match" quiz, we collect your name, email address, phone number (if provided), age range, treatment type, fertility diagnosis, journey stage, timeline, location, budget, priorities, NHS eligibility details, and your contact consent preference. We also store which clinics you were matched with.
- Enquiry data: When you submit an enquiry about a clinic, we collect your name, email address, phone number (if provided), treatment interest, and any message you include.
- Review data: When you leave a clinic review, we collect your name, age group, treatment type, outcome, funding type, and your review text.
- Usage data: We collect anonymous analytics data including pages visited, time on site, referral source, and device type. This data cannot identify you personally.
- Cookies: We use essential cookies to make the site function and analytics cookies to understand how the site is used. See section 7 below.
3. Lawful basis for processing
We process your personal data on the following bases under UK GDPR:
- Consent: When you opt in to receive a consultation offer from a matched clinic, we rely on your explicit consent to share your contact details with that clinic. You can withdraw consent at any time.
- Legitimate interests: We process quiz and usage data to provide our clinic-matching service, improve our algorithms, and enhance the user experience.
4. How we use your data
We use your personal data to:
- Match you with suitable fertility clinics based on your quiz responses
- Forward your contact details to your top-matched clinic if you consent
- Display approved reviews on clinic profile pages

- Respond to questions, complaints, or data requests you send us
We do not sell your personal data to third parties. We do not use your data for advertising.
5. Health-related data
Some information we collect — including fertility diagnosis, treatment type, and NHS eligibility — may be considered health-related data under UK GDPR. We process this data solely to provide you with relevant clinic matches. We do not use it for any other purpose and we handle it with additional care. This data is only shared with a clinic if you explicitly consent.
6. Who we share data with
If you consent to being contacted, we share your name, email, and phone number with your top-matched clinic only. We do not share your data with any other clinic or third party unless required by law. Your diagnosis, quiz answers, and other profile details are never shared with clinics.
7. How long we keep your data
Quiz lead data and enquiry data is retained for 24 months from the date of submission, after which it is deleted. Approved reviews are retained indefinitely as published content (your first name only is displayed publicly). You can request deletion of any of your data at any time by emailing us at [email protected].
