Privacy Policy

Introduction

 

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 personal information you submit via the contact form on the contact page of this website and about any data security issues.

​

‘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.

​

I am registered on the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) website.

I take the security of the data I hold about you very seriously and as such I take every effort to make sure it is kept secure. I use encrypted devices and all data folders and documents are password protected.

This is the system I use to request your name and email address in order to get in touch with you to arrange an appointment and to contact you while we are working together.

This information is held in the strictest confidence, and I never share it with anybody else. I delete all emails after three months.

​

I use legitimate interests as my lawful basis for holding and using your personal information in this way when you visit my website.
