GDPR:
I keep certain data so that I can work safely and professionally with you, in line with the guidelines of my insurers and professional organisations that I belong to, including ABMT, and CHNC.
It is stored in the following places:
My mobile phone, under initials with a secure lock screen.
My email account, accessible by a secure password
On paper, kept in a locked filing box.
The data I keep is:
Your phone number, email address, name, address, relevant medical information, session notes, under your initials, emails to you, and yours to me, invoices, payment information, photos of worksheets / diagrams (as a prompt for the next session), outcome of training attendance
You have the right to know what client data I hold, why I hold it, and for how long. You also have the right to view it, and to ask for changes to be made.
I will keep this data for 7 years if you are over 18 or until you are 25 years old. After that time it is destroyed.
When sensitive data is to be destroyed, I will burn it in my wood-burner.
If I discover there has been a data breach of your personal information that could put you at risk, I will undertake to tell you as soon as possible.
The data is only seen by myself. I may discuss our sessions with my clinical supervisor who will be aware of your first name only. They will destroy any supervision notes when our work is finished.
I understand the terms laid out above and the GDPR policy
