Privacy policy - GDPR
In response to the new regulations laid out by GDPR, below I state the way in which I use, share and store your personal information if you come to me as a client or on one of my shamanic workshops. I've tried to keep this as simple as possible!
Who I am
I am a craniosacral practitioner who works from Bristol Natural Health Clinic and from my home in Cherington. My contact details can be found here. Under GDPR, this means I am classified as the data controller (because I get to decide how your data is processed).
Whose information does this privacy notice apply to?
This privacy notice applies to information I collect from:
• clients;
• prospective clients;
• former clients;
• visitors to my website;
• course attendees;
The personal data that I hold and what is done with it
In order to fulfil my role as your therapist, I record and use the following personal information : your name, address, telephone number, date of birth, email address and case history notes (relevant medical and life history).
This personal information is held on my computer drive and in handwritten files. All computer files that store personal information are password protected. All handwritten files are kept in a locked cabinet.
Your personal data will be treated as strictly confidential, and will be only ever be shared with others, if there is a genuine need for it and you have given your written consent (this could be your GP, other health care professional, insurance company or solicitor). Any correspondence via email is kept on a password protected computer.
How long do I keep your personal data?
I am required to retain your personal data for 7 years from the date of your last session with me, or if you are a child, until your 28th birthday, as required by law and the CSTA Code of Ethics.
Access to your personal information
You have the right to see what personal data of yours I hold, the right to ask me to amend it and the right to ask me to erase it (provided the legal minimum period has lapsed). You can read about your rights in more detail at the Information Commissioner’s website .
Please be reassured that I am treating your personal data with integrity and deep respect. Should you have any concerns, I am very happy to answer any questions or concerns that you may have about the information I hold about you. If you feel that I have mishandled your data in some way, you can complain to the CSTA or to the ICO.
