Organizing client records in a structured, retrievable way is what a filing system is for. In a facial massage practice you collect various information such as contact details, medical history, consent, and treatment notes. A filing system provides a consistent framework for naming, sorting, and storing these documents so you can locate them quickly, keep them secure, and ensure you comply with data protection requirements. The other terms refer to either the content of the data (personal details), the rights clients have over their data (data protection rights), or who controls how data is processed (data controllers), rather than the method of organizing and storing the information. So the best fit for describing the systematic storage of client information is a filing system.
