Privacy Policy

I am committed to complying with the terms of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and to the responsible and secure use of your data. I have a legitimate interest in processing personal data in order to provide counselling services. The purpose of this statement is to let you know what personal information I collect and hold, why I collect this data, how long it is kept and your rights over your personal data. I am registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) reference C1435481

1. I collect personal information from you when you enquire about my counselling service in order to set up an initial appointment. This information includes contact details, your availability and other relevant personal information. Once a client finishes counselling, all data regarding their counselling is stored securely for seven years and then destroyed.
2. Your personal information will be used only to provide you with my service and to give you information relating to my service. I will not share your personal details with any other person or organsation without your knowledge and permission, unless there is a legal requirement, if there is a child or adult safeguarding issue, or a perceived risk of harm. A breach of confidentiality is when a person shares information with another in circumstances where it is reasonable that the information will be kept confidential.
   
3. I will take all reasonable precautions to prevent the loss, misuse or alteration of information you give me. Communications in connection with this service may be sent by email. For ease of use and compatability, communications will not be sent in an encrypted form. Whilst I endeavour to keep my system and communications protected against viruses and other harmful effects, I can not be responsible for all communications being virus free.
