4. SECURITY OF AND ACCESS TO YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION We endeavour to ensure that there are appropriate and proportionate technical and organisational measures to prevent the loss, destruction, misuse, alteration, unauthorised disclosure of or access to your personal information. In particular, your personal information will only be accessible by appropriately trained staff and will be stored in a computerised database protected by anti-virus software and password access.

When we communicate with you through means of our Emails, we may add your email address to an email mailing list maintained by Mail Chimp. You can view Mail Chimp's privacy policy here: https://mailchimp.com/legal/privacy/ Subscribers to the list can update their preferences at any time by following the links in any email we send them, or by contacting us directly using the contact information below. Apart from this, the personal information we collect for the purposes of your application will not be disclosed to any third party, unless we are required to do so due to any legal or regulatory obligation.

For Clients: As a client in a therapeutic relationship, you have a strong legal entitlement to a duty of confidentiality that protects your personal information from unauthorised disclosure. This entitlement to confidentiality exists as part of my duty of care to my client. However confidentiality is never protected as an absolute right and may be overwritten in certain circumstances including (1) For the prevention of serious physical harm to clients or others (2) When it is permitted by law for example by a court order or pursuant to a statutory obligation and (3) For the purposes of enhancing the quality of service offered by your therapist, for example, obtaining professional supervision and support or sharing information with colleagues in a team setting. Should any of those circumstances arise, the types of people/organisation with whom I will share your data could include appropriate agencies if for example there is a risk of serious harm or with a solicitor pursuant to a court order. A breach of confidentiality occurs when there has been disclosure of confidential information made (1) without appropriate consent; or (2) without a court order; or (3) made not in the public interest. Clients are generally entitled to be informed of any breaches of confidentiality, regardless of whether these were accidental or deliberately made following careful consideration unless there are grounds of public interest or legal obligations which prevent the client being informed. When clients are entitled to information about the disclosure of confidential information, I will use all reasonable efforts to tell clients what was disclosed, to whom and when, as soon as is reasonably possible after the event.

In general, the personal information that we collect from you will be stored at a destination within the UK or European Economic Area. Please note that we cannot guarantee the security of personal information transmitted via the internet.


5.LAWFUL PROCESSING The General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (“GDPR”) requires us to rely on one or more lawful grounds to process your personal information. For the purposes of this application, we consider the grounds listed below to be relevant:

a. Clients:(a) Consent: you have given clear consent for me to process your personal data for a specific purpose; and/or (b) Contract: the processing is necessary for the purposes of our therapeutic contract; and/or (c) Where there is a legitimate interest in me doing so. The GDPR allows me to collect and process personal information if it is reasonably necessary to achieve our legitimate interests (as long as that processing is fair and balanced and does not unduly impact your rights). In general, “legitimate interests” mean the interests of our therapeutic relationship. Where I process your personal information to achieve such legitimate interests, I consider and balance any potential impact on you (both positive and negative), and your rights under applicable data protection/privacy laws. I will not use your personal information for activities where our interests are overridden by the impact on you, for example where use would be excessively intrusive (unless, for instance, we are otherwise required or permitted to by applicable law). b. Subscribers; Consent: you have given clear consent for us to process your personal data for a specific purpose;


6. YOUR RIGHTS Once we have collected and as long as we continue to process your personal information, you have the following rights:

b. The right of erasure; you can ask us to delete your personal information in certain circumstances.

c. The right of rectification; if you believe that our records of your personal information are inaccurate, you have the right to ask for those records to be updated.

e. Right to object; you have the right to object to our processing of your personal information in certain circumstances including where we use it for direct marketing.

f. Right to data portability; where we are processing your personal information (i) with your consent or (ii) because such processing is necessary for the performance of a contract, you may ask us to provide the personal information to you – or another service provider – in a machine-readable format.

To exercise any of these rights, please send a description of the personal information in question using the contact details in section 9 below. Where we consider that the information you provide does not enable us to identify you or the personal information in question, we reserve the right to ask for (i) personal identification or (ii) further information.

Please note that you may only use/benefit from some of these rights in limited circumstances. For more information, we suggest that you consult guidance from the Information Commissioner’s Office ("ICO") – - or please contact us using the details in section 9 below.

7. FOR HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?

In general, unless still required in connection with the purpose(s) for which it was collected and/or is processed, we remove your personal information from our records six years after the date it was collected. However, if before that date (i) your personal information is no longer required in connection with such purpose(s), (ii) we are no longer lawfully entitled to process it or (iii) you validly exercise your right of erasure, we will remove it from our records at the relevant time.
