Sensitive Data
Where necessary for me to optimise your therapy, I may need to collect sensitive data about you. Sensitive data refers to data that includes details about your race or ethnicity, religious or philosophical beliefs, sex life, sexual orientation, political opinions, trade union membership, criminal convictions and offences, information about your health and genetic and biometric data.
These data are treated confidentially and with respect. As a client the security of your data is really important to me. I use best practices to ensure that data is stored safely and where I do need to share data with other people I make sure I share only what is absolutely necessary.
You may request details of personal information which I hold about you under GDPR. See https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/guide-to-the-general-data-protection-regulation-gdpr/
If your personally identifiable information changes or if you no longer desire my services, or if you believe that any information I am holding on you is incorrect or incomplete, please write to me at the above address, or email me at [gpicquart@yahoo.com] as soon as possible. I will promptly correct any information found to be incorrect.
