How will my data be stored?

In May 2018 the Data Protection Act was replaced by the General Data Protection Regulations

(GDPR). The changes to the Data Protection Act are aimed at ensuring that your personal,

confidential and sometimes sensitive data, is held privately and securely.

 

How long will you hold my information for?

The recommended time for me to keep your data, as suggested by the NCH is 8 years.

This is slightly different with children (under 16) and will be held until they are 25.

 

What if I would like my data to be destroyed before this date?

Due to the sensitive nature of what we do, my insurance company does not allow the deletion of

data, before the minimum time for holding said data.

 

Am I able to see or get a copy of the information held by you?

In line with GDPR, yes, within 30 days.

 

What are your reasons for collecting this information?

There are many reasons to collect this information, the most important one being to keep both you and I safe. It is also helpful to track your progress and for myself to continuously learn from my sessions with my clients.

 

How do I know that you will store my information securely?

Once your sessions are completed, your paperwork will be scanned and saved in a secure/password protected file, and the original documents destroyed.

 

Are our discussions within the hypnotherapy sessions confidential?

Yes, unless I need support from my supervisor or I believe that you are about to harm yourself or another.

 

What if I see you outside of a hypnotherapy session?

In the event of seeing each other outside of the session, I will always take your lead. You are welcome to acknowledge or ignore me.

 

Will you discuss information about me with other health and social care professionals?

Only with your written consent.
