Privacy Statement

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

Name and Age – this is basic information that helps me to get to know you.

I use this as a way of contacting you regarding your sessions. I will mainly use the method you first contacted me on but if I cannot reach you, I will try a different method. 

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.

I keep brief notes of our session(s) via a locked filing cabinet and secure operating system.

It is very unlikely that I will share your data. I will not sell it on 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 only use your first name. 

It is mainly stored as a hard copy in a locked filing cabinet. Immediately after the work is finished, I transfer the data with your initials to my password protected computer and third-party operating system ’17 Hats’. Your phone number(s) may be kept on my business phone with your first name and initial. Only I will access this information.

I will keep your details and session notes for the time required by my insurer, currently 7 years. After this time, I will destroy any document with your personal information and delete your number out of my phone.
