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

What data do I keep and why do I need it?

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

Address, email address, phone number – 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.

Next of kin/medical professional’s details – 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.

Session notes – I keep brief notes of our session(s), they will be held on a password protected computer with a password protected thumb drive.

Will I share your data and if I do, who will I share it with and for what purpose?

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 a court. If there is reasonable chance of harm to you or anyone we discuss, I may have to pass this information on. I may also discuss your case during legal counsel, but I only use your first name.

It is mainly stored on my password protected commuter and/or in a locked filling cabinet. Immediately after the work is finished, I transfer the data with your initials to my password protected computer on my password protected thumb drive and/or my locked filling cabinet. Your phone number(s)/emails may be kept in my business mobile phone and with your first name and on my computer with your full name, Only I will access your information.

 How long will I store your data for and how will I dispose of it?
