We require all third parties to whom we transfer your data to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law. We only allow such third parties to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.  

INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS 

We are subject to the provisions of the General Data Protection Regulations that protect your personal data. Where we transfer your data to third parties outside of the EEA, we will ensure that certain safeguards are in place to ensure a similar degree of security for your personal data. As such: 

  • We may transfer your personal data to countries that the European Commission have approved as providing an adequate level of protection for personal data by; or 
  • If we use US-based providers that are part of EU-US Privacy Shield, we may transfer data to them, as they have equivalent safeguards in place; or 
  • Where we use certain service providers who are established outside of the EEA, we may use specific contracts or codes of conduct or certification mechanisms approved by the European Commission which give personal data the same protection it has in Europe. 


If none of the above safeguards is available, we may request your explicit consent to the specific transfer. You will have the right to withdraw this consent at any time.

THIRD-PARTY LINKS

Information about e-mail and TEXT usage

E-mail contact provides a quick and convenient means of communication. Whilst information sent by email or submitted by clients using our website contact forms, email is not a completely secure method of communication. Whilst you can use email to contact me, you should not:

  • Provide more personal information than we need to process your request
  • Ask us to send you personal details that you would not want seen by other people
  • Share highly confidential or sensitive data that could be intercepted or viewed by other people
  • If you have an urgent question or feel at risk after therapy please contact an emergency service e.g. 111 NHS emergency service or 999 for life threatening conditions by telephone. Do NOT email or send us an SMS or DM

CUSTOMER 

We will collect information from you at the point of signing your Therapy Agreement / Contract. This information will include your e-mail address, phone number and postal address so we can provide what we have contracted to invoice you and keep records of our business relationship

Financial and debit / credit card details

We do not receive or store your debit / credit card details. Card payments are handled by an external secure processor in accordance with their data security policies. We receive limited information from our processor for us to tie up payment with your invoice. When you pay us by BACS we only know what the bank tells us, which is usually the name of the person who paid us and how much and the reference number.

We do not routinely keep credit scores nor use credit reference agencies.

Will This Privacy Notice CHANGE  

This privacy notice may change. We will not reduce your rights under this Privacy Notice without your consent. If any significant change is made to the Privacy Notice we will provide a prominent notice on this website so that you can review the updated Privacy Notice. This Privacy Notice will be replaced, or more information added, when you send feedback, ask to use a service online or make a payment for a service through this website.

This Privacy Notice was last updated in June, 2022

Sharing information with Other Healthcare Professionals and Family

You must specifically name other people, with whom you would like us to share information about you. We make best efforts to ensure that information provided over the telephone is restricted to those you have named and we share on a need-to-know basis. Sometimes this means refusing to disclose information about you to someone who feels they should know about your treatment and progress. Please make your family and friends aware of this.

Special Situations

Sometimes we have a legal duty to provide information about clients i.e where personal risk is a factor and when a court order instructs us to do so. Records may also be shared without the patient’s consent in exceptional situations, in order to safeguard adults or children. 

If either a young person or adult engaging in therapy indicates that their well-being or safety is at risk, we will act in accordance with safeguarding procedures.   

Young PEOPLE

When offering an online service directly to a young person in the UK only those aged 13 years or over are able to provide their own consent. When relying on consent, we make sure that the young person understands what they are consenting to, and we do not exploit an imbalance of power in the relationship between us. When relying on “necessary for the performance of a contract”, we consider the young person’s competence to understand what they are agreeing to, and enter into a contract. When offering online therapy to a young person on the basis of consent, we make reasonable efforts (taking into account the available technology and the inherent risks in the processing) to ensure that anyone who provides consent is at least 14 years of age. We don’t seek online consent when offering preventative services / therapy to a young person.

We follow the approach in the ICO’s Data Sharing Code of Practice.
