Disclosure of personal information

 

For coaching clients, I will never disclose any personal information about you that forms part of our coaching (including the contents of the coaching sessions and other personal information exchanged between us in connection with the coaching relationship) except:

​​

The information you provide to me may be accessed by or given to third parties or bodies who work with me, work for me, act for the purposes set out in this Policy or for other purposes approved by you. Those parties may process information, fulfil and deliver orders, process credit card payments and/or provide support services to me and/or to you on my behalf. My professional body may use my provision of your name and email address as part of its assessment of my practice for the purposes of my professional accreditation.

​

For users of this website, I may disclose your identity and contact details to (1) any third party who claims to me that any material posted or uploaded by you to my site constitutes a violation of their intellectual property rights or their rights of privacy, and (2) to other bodies, authorities, companies and organisations for the purposes of fraud protection, credit risk reduction, crime reduction and law enforcement. I may also pass aggregate information on the usage of this website to third parties but this will not include information that can be used to identify you.

​

If I enter into any joint venture with, or my business is sold to or merged with, another business or entity, your information may be disclosed to that other business or entity. 

​

Transferring your personal information outside the United Kingdom and the EU

 

  • I will not intentionally transfer your personal information outside of the United Kingdom and the EU without ensuring appropriate safeguards are in place. For example, I may put in place standard contractual clauses, or, if that is not appropriate, I may seek your explicit consent.

  • Currently, I do not knowingly transfer your personal information outside the United Kingdom and the EU.

  • However, I have no control over the routes emails take, and even emails exchanged between two people in the UK could appear on equipment in countries outside the United Kingdom and EU, where they may not be protected by strong privacy or data protection laws.

  • You will probably not consider this an issue, but if you have any concerns please raise them with me and we can make alternative arrangements.

​

Deletion of personal information

​

  • I will keep your personal information for a maximum of 7 years, after which time I will securely delete it. 

 

What non-personally identifiable information do I collect and how is it used?

 

  • I collect and track certain non-personally identifiable information, including, but not limited to, IP numbers and browser type, access times, domain names, usage habits and other information which does not specifically identify any individual.

 

Automated decision making

 

  • I provide a very personal service in my coaching practice and do not make any decisions which could have a legal effect, or other significant effect on you, based solely on automated processing of your personal data.

 

Mailing list and Subscribers

 

  • I maintain a mailing list of those who have subscribed via the “Keep in Touch” facility on this website (“Subscribers”).

  • I may, from time to time, send or post surveys or requests for your feedback in order to help me make this website and services better. Any responses I receive from you will be used only to evaluate this website and services and no personally identifiable information from respondents will be shared with those who do not work for me except that information provided in the Feedback/Comments areas.

  • If you are chosen for a promotion or as a winner in a contest, I will not disclose any details until I request your permission to use your name, image and other information about you, for sharing purposes.

  • You may choose to unsubscribe from Subscriber status at any time by sending an email to me via the email address at the end of this Policy.

They are widely used in order to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site. I use cookies to identify you and allow you to log in once to my website and search or post without having to log in again and again.

Merchants and advertisers

 

  • This website may contain links to various third party websites and the external websites of advertisers and/or third party partners. Each of these websites may have a privacy policy that differs from that of this Policy. This Policy does not cover the privacy policies of other websites. I urge you to check the privacy policies of each website that you may visit or interact with.

  • The only voluntary information that may be shared between me and one of my partner websites is that which pertains to information used in the furtherance of tracking an order and providing you with correct information regarding same.

Data security

​

  • I keep your personal data secure and safe using modern and regularly updated firewalls and anti-virus software.

  • I employ physical and computer security measures to protect, so far as reasonably possible, your information from access by unauthorised persons and against unlawful processing, accidental loss, destruction and damage.

  • I keep very few - if any - details of what is discussed during our coaching sessions.  When having professional supervision I do not disclose your full name or any details that could obviously be used to identify you.

  • I may keep copies of email exchanges. 

  • I require that any advertisers and partners I may work with must ensure the security of the data that you provide to them. However, in the event of a breach of their security measures, I am not liable for any losses or damages and in using this website and/or undertaking coaching with me you agree to this.

  • Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the Internet is not completely secure. Although I will do my best to protect your personal data, I cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to my site. Any transmission to me of your personal data is at your own risk.

 

Access to the information I collect about you

​

  • You are entitled to see the personal data about you that I hold, to ask me how, why and where I process and store it, and to ask me to make any necessary changes to ensure that it is accurate and kept up to date. If you wish to do any of this, please contact me via the email address at the end of this Policy.

  • I do not charge for providing you with details of the information I hold about you, but I may charge you where such a request is manifestly unfounded or excessive, in particular if they are repetitive in character. In such circumstances I may either charge a reasonable fee taking into account the administrative costs of providing the information or communication or taking the action requested or refuse to act on the request.

 

Opt-out

​

  • You have the right to ask me to restrict or stop using your personal information for any purposes (including marketing) and to ask me to delete some or all of it (including my records relating to the coaching).  You may also choose to opt-out of being a Subscriber.
