Can I Run a Giveaway for a Health Related Business?
Clinics, coaches, studios and wellness brands run giveaways all the time. The risks sit in how you describe the prize and what you ask entrants for.
- Choose a prize that doesn't imply a medical outcome. A class pass, a product bundle or a service credit is safe. "Lose 10 pounds" isn't.
- Keep your wording factual. Don't claim the prize treats or cures anything.
- Ask for as little personal information as you can. Health information is special category data under UK and EU GDPR, so avoid collecting it in a form field or a Question action unless you need it, and explain why if you do.
- Set an age limit if your prize isn't suitable for minors. Switch on Minimum Age on the Pre-Entry tab.
- Check your Terms & Conditions. We generate them for every Competition, and you can add anything specific under Additional Terms.
- Keep entry free and follow the platform rules where you promote it.
The Health & Fitness Giveaway template is a good starting point. Rules for health products and services differ by country, and this isn't legal advice, so ask a lawyer if you're unsure.
