Why I collect data
I need to know this data in order to provide my services to you. I only collect the personal data I need from you in order to provide the best services I can to you. I will hold all personal data responsibly and in strictest confidence. This policy details how.
What data I collect
I only collect data that you provide. This comprises:
- Marketing & Communications Data: Name and email address if you sign up to my newsletter
- Enquiries: If you make a enquiry about my services, I will have your email and if we arrange to speak, I will take your phone number and relevant details during our conversation. Any notes I make electronically will not identify you. If you choose not to go ahead with 1-1 sessions, I will delete any notes I have made during our conversation. If you choose to have 1-1 sessions with me, see this next section which details what happens with your data.
- Session Data: If you become a client of mine through 1-1 sessions or my online courses, I will take relevant details during and after our sessions to enable me to deliver the best possible service to you.I will use your email for purposes of communication regarding administration of appointments and to respond to your emails in-between sessions. I will only contact you via phone with your express agreement. Any client notes I make will contain any identifying features as I use a coding system. Whilst an active client, I store your mobile number on a password protected spreadsheet with your email and the mobile number is removed on conclusion of our work.The computer which this is stored on is also password protected.

How the data is collected
Newsletter subscription: Data is collected via my newsletter subscription form via my website or by you signing up to my newsletter at events and workshops or in an email exchange.

NB: If you enquire about my services, I do not assume permission to contact you beyond communication about your enquiry. I will ask if you would like to go on my newsletter and I will need your consent before I add you. You can sign up here.
How data is stored
I have a Data Protection policy in place to oversee the effective and secure processing of your personal data. I will keep all your private information, including your email address, in the strictest confidence. I am committed to ensuring that your information is secure. In order to prevent unauthorised access or disclosure I have put in place suitable physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure all the information I collect. I have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where I am legally required to do so.
I have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed.
My website has an SSL certificate means data sent between the server and the visitor’s browser is encrypted and therefore protected.
I have appointed a trusted colleague in case of my serious illness or death. They would access your contact details to contact you to let you know if I was unable to continue working with you, and help signpost to other practitioners if needs be. They would respectfully close my practice, including safe disposal of client notes and data.
How to revoke consent for me to store this data
If you opted in to receive news and updates, your name and email address is added to to a database stored at Mailchimp. You can read Mailchimps Privacy Policy here.
Your information is used for my newsletter in which I share my latest news, details of events and workshops and relevant news and stories. You will stay on my database until you notify me that you no longer wish to receive this information.
You may revoke consent to receive email updates by
- Using the unsubscribe link in the footer of every newsletter
- Emailing me at [email protected]
Regarding client data, I am required under the terms and conditions of my professional insurance to keep client data for seven years after our work has completed. After this time the records will be destroyed.
The Right to Erasure: However the ‘right to be forgotten’ gives individuals the power to request the removal of their personal data when there is no compelling justification for its continued processing by a company. If you wanted to have your data deleted before the 7 years had elapsed, you wouldneed to email me. I will need to ensure that it is you, and not a third party. I have to keep a suppression list to evidence I had complied with the request. Information about third parties (or where a second person has been part of the therapeutic process, cannot be destroyed without their express consent).
What I do and don’t do with your data
I will only use your data for the purpose for which it was collected. I will never knowingly share your data with any person or 3rd party unless I am required by law to do so or unless further express permission is given as part of our ongoing client agreement.
If you opted in to receive my news, updates and marketing information, I will from time to time send you a newsletter. This information is not shared with third purposes and you can unsubscribe at any time via the newsletter or email. If this is something you would like to sign up to, please get in touch.
You have the right to request a copy of any information I hold about you. If you would like to request this, please contact me. I will need to ensure that it is you, and not a third party. Information will be provided to you within 30 days. If you attend sessions with another person, then the notes remain confidential material of the client relationship (both people) and one person cannot request access for a third party.
