INTRODUCTION

 

This privacy policy will outline how I use, share and store your personal information in connection with the therapy practice owned by me, Sundraj Sreenivasan.  Your privacy is important to me and I will respect and protect your privacy and undertake to process your data in a fair and lawful manner.

I am a sole practitioner and owner of the Practice and as such I am the Data Controller. The processing and protection of your data will be in accordance with The Data Protection Act 1988 (DPA) and General Data Protection Regulation 2018 (GDPR). I am registered with the Information Commissioners Register (No ZA778415). My registered office is: 306 Falcon Works, 8 Copperfield Road, London, E3 4RT.

​

MY LAWFUL BASIS FOR HOLDING AND USING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

 

If you are currently having therapy, or if you are in contact with me to consider therapy, I will process your personal data for the provision of therapy and necessary for our therapeutic contract. In accordance with GDPR guidelines I look after any sensitive personal information that you may disclose to me appropriately. 

​

HOW I USE YOUR INFORMATION 

​

When you contact me with an enquiry about therapy, I will collect information to help me satisfy your enquiry. This will include name, contact details and a brief outline of your enquiry. If you decide not to proceed, I will ensure all your personal data is deleted within 48 hours. 

​

​If we begin therapy, I will collect further information from you. This includes sensitive personal data: current medication, health issues, ethnic origins, family background. This information enables me to offer therapy of a kind and quality that will meet your needs.

​

I will keep a record of your contact details to help the therapy service run smoothly. This record is stored on a password protected file and stored on a device that is multi-authentication protected. I will keep brief notes to support me in the on-going work. All notes are stored on digital files and are password protected. Your identifiable personal information is kept separately from any notes. The notes will be kept securely for 7 years to comply with legal requirements and then destroyed. If you want me to delete your information sooner than this, please request this in writing.

​

Everything you discuss with me is confidential. That confidentiality will only be broken if: there is an immediate to risk to life, a court order, the protection of a child or vulnerable person.  I will always try to speak to you about this first, unless there are safeguarding issues that prevent this.
