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. If you choose not to enter therapy with me, I will not store any contact details at all. Once therapy has discontinued your details will be deleted digitally. For clients 18+ I keep paper records for a period of 7 years. For clients under 18, I will keep paper records for a period of 7 years after their 18th birthday. All client records will be kept in a locked file which is a requirement of my insurance. 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 7 years in keeping with my insurance requirements (clients under 18 at the time of therapy, will have their records kept for 7 years after their 18th birthday).
- How and why are you collecting data?
I collect data for the purpose of the therapy, as stipulated by my Ethical Body, the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists, and for communication purposes.
- How do you want people to let you know if they do not wish for there information to be kept?
If you choose for your information to not be stored this will impact your eligibility for treatment as Alex Clarke Therapy requires your contact information in order to arrange treatment. Note keeping- All notes are kept are minimal and for supervision purposes only. They are annonymised and no personal details (i.e. name, address, phone number, email) are kept alongside clinical notes.
