Privacy policy

This is to inform you what data I am collecting from you and what I intend to do with it.

What data do I keep and why do I need it?

Email address or phone number – I use this as a way of contacting you regarding your sessions. I will mainly use email.

Next of kin/medical professional’s details – If I was worried that you were at risk then I may need to contact your next of kin or medical professional if I can. I will let you know when/if I am going to do this.

Session notes – I keep brief notes of our session(s), at a data protected server.

Will I share your data and if I do, who will I share it with and for what purpose?

It is very unlikely that I will share your data. I will not sell it or use it for unethical reasons. I may have to share it if my notes are subpoenaed by court, if you or anyone you tell me about is at harm or risk of harm I may have to pass this information on. I may also discuss your case during supervision but I won’t be using your name.

How will I store your data?

Immediately after the work is finished, I transfer the data with your initials to my password-protected computer. Only I will access your information.

How long will I store your data for and how will I dispose of it?

I will keep your details and session notes for the time required by my insurer.

After this time I will destroy any document with your personal information and delete your phone number out of my mobile phone.
