Privacy Notice, David England
- I am David England. I am a psychotherapist, shamanic guide, and group leader, and a writer, storyteller, and public speaker. I take your privacy seriously and will only use your personal data to communicate with you as set out below.
- Personal data is collected by me for the purpose of sending emails and making phone calls to you regarding my work as a psychotherapist, shamanic guide, and group leader, and a writer, storyteller, and public speaker.
- I will only collect personal data given to me directly by the person concerned.
- If any person for whom I hold personal data, now and in the future, requests that I retain the data but not send them group emails, I will comply with this request.
- If any person for whom I hold personal data, now and in the future, requests that I delete their personal data, I will immediately comply with this request and advise them I have done so.
- The personal data collected includes Names, Job Titles, Organisations, Addresses, Phone Numbers, Email Addresses, Websites, and Emails sent and received.
- The personal data is kept fully secure and will not be shared with or disclosed to any third party person or organisation. The only exception is where a person has given explicit consent to disclose items of their personal data for a specific purpose, eg referrals. If a person withdraws such consent, I shall immediately comply.
- Where emails are sent to a group of people: only the copy function ‘BCC’ will be used, never ‘CC’; each such email will include a clearly displayed opportunity for each recipient to request either not to receive future group emails or deletion of their personal data.
Additional items applying to psychotherapy clients:
- I maintain confidential diary notes for each current and previous client. These are in electronic form (password protected) and paper form (under lock and key).
- Further to item 7 above, I share confidential diary notes with my supervisor, clients being identified by a single forename only. Except for a single forename, shared diary notes exclude all the personal data stated in item 6 above.
- Because it is not uncommon for clients to return after a number of years, I shall retain each previous client’s confidential notes for ten years, unless requested otherwise.
- If a previous client requests deletion of confidential notes relating to them, I shall immediately comply with this request and advise them I have done so.
