I am committed to protecting the personal data that you provide and recognise the importance of being clear about how I intend to use it.
This privacy policy relates to personal data I collect from you or that you provide to me, which will be treated in accordance with GDPR requirements (General Data Protection Regulations applied by European legislation).

2. Basis for holding these information
As a member of the British Association or Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), I abide by the Code of Practice and Ethics required by this organisation.
I only use your data in relation to the delivery of my services, and do not use it for marketing purposes or sell to third parties. There are very specific limited reasons why I may need to share/process your data. In exceptional circumstances and in order to protect life or other circumstances stipulated by UK law, I may be required to pass your personal data to another person or organisation.

Website “Click here to email” button
No information from the “Click here to email” button is stored by the website or the website host. I use the personal data of your email address for correspondence with you regarding your enquiry about my services. I retain the information for the period we are in correspondence and then it is deleted as confidential waste. I do not use the information you supply via the “Click here to email” button for marketing purposes or share with third parties unless I am required to by law. I use Gmail when responding to website enquiries. Gmail encrypts messages in transit. This means that emails can’t be read by third parties in transit. Google servers are based in the US. Gmail as part of Google is covered by the US privacy shield (see https://www.privacyshield.gov/list for more information)
