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.

  1. 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.
  2. Keep your wording factual. Don't claim the prize treats or cures anything.
  3. 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.
  4. Set an age limit if your prize isn't suitable for minors. Switch on Minimum Age on the Pre-Entry tab.
  5. Check your Terms & Conditions. We generate them for every Competition, and you can add anything specific under Additional Terms.
  6. 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.
