A standard set of documents needs to be stored for me to work efficiently and ethically. Your data will be deleted after 5 years, following my insurance guidelines.

What data do I store?

Emails and notes are stored and password-protected. If you decided to work with me, I would keep your client detail form and take brief session notes after each session.

Your data is stored on an external hard drive in a locked security safe. My notes are handwritten and stored in a locked security safe. 

Who do I share it with?

I will never share your data with anyone unless I believe you or another person’s life is in danger or I am legally required to by Scottish Law. However, I will always try to discuss it with you first when possible.

Anonymised data is shared during my regular individual regular supervision. 

How long do I keep it for?
