About your coaching sessions
Everything you share with me is kept confidential. Exceptions to this apply only for legal duties or safety concerns for you or others. If this is ever the case, I will always try to discuss this with you first.
I hold our sessions in private and confidential settings. I will make notes to prepare for our sessions and take notes during them so I can keep track of everything we discuss. All notes are stored securely online and are for my use only.
If someone else, like your employer, a friend, or a family member, is paying for your sessions, you can be confident that your coaching information will remain confidential. Apart from payment requests, invoices, and receipts, nothing about our sessions will be shared. If I am asked to share other information I will only do this with your written consent.
If your employer is paying for your coaching, we may agree at before you start your coaching what information is shared with them. This is outlined in a multi-party agreement which is signed by you, your employer and me. Only information outlined in the agreement is shared by me.
Where I store your personal data
The systems I use to communicate with you or store your data on are cloud based systems such as Google Workspace and Paperbell. These systems are encrypted, use two factor authentication and have privacy controls designed to protect your information.
How I use your personal data
● I use your contact details to provide you with information you’ve requested from me, to let you know about changes to my availability and any other relevant administrative changes.
● I use preparation and session notes to make sure you get the most out of your coaching sessions.
● As part of my commitment to providing a professional service, I attend supervision and ongoing training. This may include sharing details of coaching sessions I’ve provided. This is bound by a confidentiality agreement and to protect your identity I only use the initial of your first name.
Your personal data will not be used in any other way.

●
Request access to your personal data
You can request to view the information I hold about you at any time. If you’d like to see your session notes during the time I am coaching you, please let me know. If you’d like to see the information after your coaching has ended, you can make this request by emailing
me or calling me. This is known as making a Subject Access Request (SAR). If I receive a SAR from you, I will provide the information within 30 days.
●
Have your personal data rectified
While I am coaching you or afterwards, you have the right to request amendments. This can be arranged by speaking to me directly or emailing me.
●
Be forgotten
You can ask me to delete and confidentially destroy the information that I hold about you and your sessions at any time. You can do this by speaking to me or emailing me.
I would not be able to comply with your right to be forgotten request if:
● I need to keep the records to continue providing an effective service.
● I am compelled to retain these records by a Court of Law
● I need the records to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
In the event of a data breach
If someone gains unauthorised access to your personal information, this is known as a data breach. This is unlikely due to the care I take to protect your data and privacy. But if a data breach does happen, I will let you and the Information Commissioners Office within 72 hours. I will tell you how the breach occurred, the information involved and the steps I’ve taken to resolve the issue.
