Privacy Policy

Your privacy is very important to me and you can be confident that your personal information will be kept safe and secure and will only be used for the purpose it was given to me. I adhere to current data protection legislation, including the General Data Protection Regulation (EU/2016/679) (the GDPR),  the Data Protection Act 2018 and the Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003.  This privacy notice tells you what I will do with your personal information from initial point of contact through to after your therapy has ended, including:  

• Why I am able to process your information and what purpose I am processing it for.

• Whether you have to provide it to me.  

• How long I store it for.  

• Whether there are other recipients of your personal information.  

• Whether I intend to transfer it to another country.  

• Your data protection rights. 

• Whether I do automated decision-making or profiling.

I am happy to chat through any questions you might have about my data protection policy and you can contact me via email or telephone. ‘Data controller’ is the term used to describe the person/organisation that collects and stores and has responsibility for people’s personal data. In this instance, the data controller is me.
