Privacy Notice

I am committed to ensuring that your privacy is protected in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulations (Data Protection Act 2018). As data controller for Rich Rippin Counselling, I am registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).

I do not share or sell or disclose to a third party any information collected through my website, or by any other means.

I use your data to make contact with you to give you information about my therapy services and, where appropriate, to arrange an initial assessment session with you. If we then go ahead with counselling or therapy, I will ask you to complete a personal information form and sign a contract which can be done either electronically or in person. All electronic communications are kept securely and remotely via password protected and encrypted online systems. All hand written information is anonymised and kept remotely and securely locked away.

All information about you is kept for two years after we cease working together and then destroyed, unless you explicitly agree to it being stored for a specific longer period of time.

Please contact me directly if you have any questions or concerns about the confidentiality of your personal data.
