Protecting your personal information is extremely important to Sussex Psychology Services Ltd. This is a copy of our privacy policy, which sets out how we use and protect your personal information (or that of your children if they are receiving therapeutic support from us).
This policy may be subject to change in the future but any changes will be available on our website: sussexpsychology.co.uk/privacy-policy.
Generally, information we collect is from what you provide electronically (via our website, or email) or that which is provided by third party referrers, such as your GP, psychiatrist or insurance company.
Data protection laws require us to meet certain conditions and we want to reassure you that we take our responsibilities very seriously. With your permission, we may need to share your information with other treating professionals such as your GP, psychiatrist, therapists with whom you engage and insurers covering the costs of treatment. If your treatment is covered by insurance providers we are sometimes required by them to provide interim reports. We will always respect your right to privacy and will only disclose information without permission when there is an imminent risk of harm.
All data is kept securely; paper records are stored in a locked cabinet and digital records are stored securely on protected computers. We will determine the length of time we keep your personal information based on the minimum retention periods required by law or regulation. We will only keep your information after this period if there is a legitimate reason to do so. When time limits are reached, paper files are shredded and digital files are permanently deleted.
You have rights under the data protection law that relate to the way we process your personal data. More information on these rights can be found on the Information Commissioner’s website. If you wish to exercise any of these rights please contact us at enquiries@sussexpsychology.co.uk.
