Data

The only way I collect data from and about you is through direct interactions. You may give me your name and contact details by filling in my online form when you request further information about my services. Through the website I collect, use, store and transfer Identity Data (name) and contact data (email address and phone number).

If you then go on to build a relationship with MindChoice and use my services I also keep more detailed contact details and notes that arise from the relationship.

Digital data is retained in email and cloud storage and is password protected and only accessible by me.

I keep the information you give me for seven years after your treatment, which is the length of time suggested by my professional body.

Direct marketing

Direct marketing is the act of selling products or services directly to consumers rather than through retailers. I market directly to you through the content of our website and through our email marketing if you subscribed to one of our mailing lists. You can unsubscribe at any time by clicking on the 'Unsubscribe' link in the footer of any email you receive from me.

Third Parties

I may sometimes discuss the work undertaken in professional development, supervision or training but will not reveal your name.

Your Rights

You can request a copy, correction or deletion of the personal data I hold about you. You have a right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) if you have any problem with the way I store or use your data, or if you do not think your rights are being respected.
