What personal data we collect and why we collect it
Only the data necessary to enable the arrangement and completion of the agreed work will be collected. This will generally include contact information, address and GP details to ensure effective and efficient psychological practice. Routine outcome measures are also regularly used to collect additional information on the current presenting problem to enable appropriate work to be completed.
Contact forms
Information you submit via contact forms may be used to respond to your enquiry. This information will be stored securely, treated in confidence and never passed on to third parties. It may be retained as part of an ongoing business relationship to facilitate the planning, delivery and general communication about therapeutic services as appropriate. Where there is no on-going therapeutic or business relationship the information will be deleted after a maximum of 12 months.
