PRIVACY POLICY
This privacy policy sets out how I, Ian Norman, CBT therapist, use and protect any information that you give me.
Data security
I am committed to ensuring that your privacy is protected. I am fully compliant with UK data protection law (Data Protection Act 2018) which incorporates the provisions of the EU GDPR.
All records that I hold on you, including sensitive personal information, whether in electronic or paper format, will be processed and stored securely. Once this data is no longer needed, it will be destroyed. In most instances, this will be six months after the completion of your course of treatment, or, if you decide not to proceed after your initial assessment, six months after that date.
Controlling your personal information
I will not pass your personal information to any third parties unless I have your explicit permission or are required by law to do so. You may request details of personal information which I hold about you. If you would like a copy of the information held on you, please write to Iannorman6@gmail.com.
If you believe that any information I am holding on you is incorrect or incomplete, or have any other data protection related issues or queries, please write to me at the above address. I will promptly correct any information found to be incorrect.
If you are concerned that I may have breached a privacy law or code binding upon me, please send an email marked “urgent” to me at iannorman6@gmail.com. I will aim to respond within 24 hours.
You have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) if you believe I have not handled your request in an appropriate manner. For information on contacting the ICO please see the website www.ico.org.uk.
