Information Deep Insights Coaching collects about you and how it is used

 

In the work with Bill, basic personal information will be collected for contact, contract and identification reasons.

 

During your sessions, an assessment of your psychological health may be completed, and notes may be taken during sessions. These will include personal and sensitive details about your life. Sessions may also be recorded.

 

We may also collect user and technical data (i.e. data about how you use our website and any online services together with any data that you post for publication on our website or through other online services), marketing data (that includes data about your preferences in receiving marketing from us and our third parties and your communication preferences) and customer data (i.e. data relating to any purchases of services such as your name, title, billing address, delivery address email address, phone number, contact details, purchase details and your card details). This data may be used to facilitate the business aspect of the practice.

The recordings, the assessment and other notes are used solely for the delivery of a therapy service to you.

 

Confidentiality

 

Deep Insights Coaching takes confidentially extremely seriously.

 

The only situations in which we may break confidentiality are:

 

• If we are required by a court of law to divulge your information

• If Bill Petrie believes that you or someone else is at serious risk

• If, in the extremely unlikely event that you bring legal action against Deep Insights Coaching, any and all of your information may be used by Deep Insights Coaching in defending against those legal proceedings.

 

Sharing of data

 

Your information may be shared with a supervisor who is similarly bound by the ethics of confidentially. If Bill discusses you with a supervisor, he will only refer to you by your first name.

 

Personal data may also be shared with service providers (who provide IT and system administration services) or with auditors, bankers, lawyers and insurers. In these instances, we require all third parties to whom we transfer your data to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law. We only allow such third parties to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.

Other than in the case of those exceptions outlined above under ‘Confidentiality,’ Bill will always explicitly ask your consent before sharing any of your data with 3rd parties. If data is sent to 3rd parties with your permission, Bill will send the data securely.

 

International Transfers

 

We are subject to the provisions of the General Data Protection Regulations that protect your personal data. Where we transfer your data to third parties outside of the EEA, we will ensure that certain safeguards are in place to ensure a similar degree of security for your personal data.
