Privacy policy
Your privacy matters to me. This policy sets out how I use and protect any information that you provide when you contact me or when we meet in a training or one to one. This policy is effective from Aug 2019 and last updated Jan 2023.
Data Processing and Security
I collect the personal information you provide in order to process your requests and bring you services that may be of interest to you.
I value your information as much as I do my own and take every measure to keep this confidential and secure. Please read the privacy statements of the services I use which are contained in the linked text in this document. Your personal information is stored on Apple Cloud and Google Drive and in files on a password protected computer. My back-up hard-drive is held in a locked box within my home.
You can rest assured that all communication between your browser and my website is hosted in a secure UK based data centre and the software used is kept up-to-date. When I am working with you in a training, group or one to one I communicate with you by email using gmail.
Workshops & Practice Groups
If you sign up for one of these you can pay me by bank transfer, Wise or Pay Pal. I do not ask for your credit or debit card details.
I will ask you for the personal information necessary to help me contact and support you for the duration of our work together including, but not limited to, your name, telephone number, email address and your NVC (and, if relevant, Conscious Dance) experience. You will receive emails about the training or group from myself or my admin assistant.
One to one NVC Coaching sessions
I make notes during or after our sessions which help me remember what the highlights were and any actions that were agreed. I send you these notes via email, then delete the email. Your first name only is not on these notes so you could not be identified. For details of how I store my notes see Data processing and Security above. We meet in person or on Zoom .
Retention period for personal data
The personal information your provide is retained for a reasonable period or for as long as the law requires or permits.
Event updates
You can subscribe to my mailing list on this website to receive information about NVC events that I and my NVC colleagues are offering. If you join a group or workshop your consent will be sought to subscribe you to my mailing list. You can unsubscribe any time simply by pressing the unsubscribe button in an email. My mailing list is managed by MailChimp.
