Your Data Privacy Rights:

You can request to access, correct, update or request deletion of your personal information, at any time. Email me at rosiesharpcounselling@gmail.com.

You have the right to complain to the ICO (the UK data protection authority) about the collection and use of your personal information.

 As part of my privacy policy, I will always keep any information provided through this website confidential.

I will not contact you unless you indicate that you would like me to do so, e.g. by sending me an email or telephoning me.

I take your privacy seriously and will never share your personal details with a third party, without your permission.

GDPR Specific Information:

What do you do with contact details made via the website? (phone or email)

I store email addresses and phone numbers confidentially for the purpose of contact during the time you are in therapy. Once therapy has discontinued your details will be deleted digitally. I keep paper records for a period of 5 years in a locked file which is the time recommended by my ethical body, BACP. Once this period has passed all paper data will be destroyed. 

​How long will you retain it?

Digital data will be removed as soon as therapy has discontinued. All paper copies shall be retained for 5 years in keeping with my insurance requirements.

​How and why are you collecting data?

I collect data for the purpose of the therapy and for communication purposes. The notes I keep which are stored on the secure client management software, Bacpac are minimal and for supervision purposes. Any brief paper notes I keep are kept in a locked cabinet.
