This website is built using WIX. WIX are committed to G.D.R.P and therefore do not collect any personal data or use cookies.

They are there to enhance your online user experience by helping the website to respond to you as an individual user and to tailor how it works with your needs and preferences.

Google Analytics is set up on this website so that we can get a sense of how the website is being used and if it is effective. This can help us build a better website going forward that matches our user needs.

Our Mailing List

You will only be on my mailing list if you signed up via this website jacquelinelawes.com, or membervault though accessing free courses or purchasing online courses If you have been a one to one client or attended one of my courses or workshops.

One-to-one client Information.

To help me support my clients in the best way I can, I keep the following information:

• Contact information, your phone numbers, email address, address.

• Session notes, including health questionnaires and personal details relevant to the discussions we have had in sessions. 

• This flags up any medical conditions we need to be aware of (to make sure you’re safe during sessions) and helps me to see the progression of the session work.

• My professional body (B.C.M.A) and insurance company require that I keep records of our work together for legal purposes.

How do you keep your information safe?

Confidentiality is at the very heart of what we do and that sense of security and privacy I hope gives you the space to explore, transform and heal.

Therefore keeping your personal information safe is a priority. Here is a list of some of the things we do to keep data (electronic and on paper) secure, but feel free to get in touch if there’s something you want to know about that isn’t here on this list.

- Locked storage of all papers

- Anonymising notes, calendar entries as far as possible 

- Keeping personal information and ’conversations’ offline as much as possible (out of emails, texts and Messenger), e.g. talking about these face-to-face in sessions instead or bringing your client questionnaire back to us on paper so you don’t have to email personal information

- Security and passwords on all our devices (phones, laptops)

Will you share my personal information?

We will never share your client information and session notes without your consent** 

What if I want you to delete all my information from your records?

We would like to be able to comply with any request to delete all your individual session records, however this is out of our hands. For legal purposes, our insurance company has asked us to keep client records and notes for seven years after your final session with me. I will regularly check my records to make sure that any client information that has passed this ‘retention’ period is taken out of secure storage and safely destroyed.

As a client you have legal rights under G.D.P.R. about the way we use your data, the main rights are: 

• The right to be informed 

• We need to let you know that we’re collecting your information and how we plan to use it hence this privacy policy.

• The right of access to any data I am holding. You can ask us to send you a copy of the all personal data we hold about you (subject to some exceptions). You need to officially ask us in writing for this – the best way to do this is to email Jacqueline.lawes.xx@gmail.com

• The right to rectification. 

• Please get in contact with me if you think we hold any incorrect details for you and we will check our records and amend as necessary.

• You can ask to have your data deleted if we’ve done something unlawful with it (e.g. sold it on to someone else) or we no longer need it (e.g. you’ve asked to be taken off our mailing list or you’re no longer a client). Obviously, this is subject to the rules we have to follow about keeping notes and info for legal/insurance purposes.

 You can find out more about all the rights you have on the Information Commissioner’s webpage about individual rights.

 

 ** Obviously, although we’d ideally not share your information with anyone at all, there are very rare occasions where we may have no choice e.g. if the law requires us to do so.
