The information I collect depends on how you interact with me.

When you visit my website, I may collect:

  • Technical information, such as your IP address, browser type, device information and operating system.

  • Information about how you use my website, including pages visited and interactions.

  • Cookie and analytics information, subject to your cookie preferences.

  • Coaching goals, reflections and brief session notes.

  • Scheduling and payment information.

  • Information you choose to share about your personal or professional circumstances.

Coaching may involve sensitive information, including information about health, neurodivergence or mental health. I will only collect and use such information where it is necessary and lawful to do so.

Workshop and training participants

If you attend a workshop or training session, I may collect your name, contact details, booking information, accessibility requirements and other information necessary to deliver the service.

3. How I use your information

I use personal information to:

  • Respond to enquiries.

  • Meet legal, regulatory and professional obligations.

  • Understand how my website is used and improve its functionality.

I do not sell personal information.

I do not send marketing emails or newsletters.

4. My lawful bases for processing

I rely on the following lawful bases, as appropriate to the circumstances:

Contract: Where processing is necessary to enter into or fulfil an agreement with you.

Legitimate interests: Where processing is necessary for my legitimate business interests, such as responding to enquiries, maintaining appropriate records, managing my practice and improving my services. I consider your rights and interests before relying on this basis.

Legal obligation: Where I need to process information to comply with legal requirements, including tax and accounting obligations.

Consent: Where I ask for your consent, including where required for non-essential cookies or certain uses of sensitive personal information.

Where I process special category information, such as health information, I will also identify and rely on an applicable condition under Article 9 of the UK GDPR.

I will not use your information for a new purpose that is incompatible with the purpose for which it was collected without first addressing the relevant legal requirements.

5. Coaching notes, supervision and AI

Coaching notes

I keep brief hand written coaching notes to support the coaching process, maintain continuity and reflect on my professional practice.

These notes are confidential and stored securely.

Professional supervision

I receive professional group coaching supervision. I may discuss aspects of my coaching work with my supervisor and supervision group to support the quality and safety of my practice.

I use anonymised information and do not share your name or details that could identify you.

Use of AI

I sometimes use AI tools to support reflection on my coaching practice and professional development.

I may use anonymised client material for this purpose. I take steps to remove information that could identify you, including names, contact details and identifying contextual information.

I do not intentionally submit identifiable client information to AI tools for this purpose.

I will not use AI to make decisions about your coaching relationship, diagnose you or determine your suitability for coaching.

I remain responsible for my professional judgement and the way I use AI.

Important: Information is only genuinely anonymous where an individual cannot reasonably be identified from it. Removing a name alone may not be sufficient. I will take care to remove or alter identifying details before using client material in this way.

If I wish to use identifiable personal information for a new purpose, I will consider the relevant data protection requirements and obtain consent.

6. Who I share information with

I may share personal information with service providers who help me operate my practice, including:

  • Squarespace, which hosts my website.

  • Email and communication providers.

  • Video conferencing providers, including Zoom.

  • Website analytics providers.

  • AI service providers, where relevant to the use described above.

  • My professional supervison and supervision group, using anonymised material.

These providers may process information on my behalf or, in some circumstances, act as independent controllers.

I will only share information where there is a lawful basis to do so and will take reasonable steps to ensure appropriate safeguards are in place.

I may also disclose information where required by law, a valid court order or an appropriate safeguarding obligation.

7. How long I keep information

I retain personal information only for as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including legal, accounting and professional requirements.

My current retention approach is:

  • Coaching notes: up to seven years, subject to review.

  • Client contracts and financial records: in accordance with applicable legal and accounting requirements.

  • Enquiry correspondence: for as long as reasonably necessary to respond and manage the enquiry.

  • Website analytics: in accordance with the retention settings of the relevant provider.

  • Other records: for an appropriate period based on their purpose.

When information is no longer required, I will securely delete or anonymise it.

8. How I protect your information

I take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse or disclosure.

These measures may include secure storage, access controls, password protection and limiting the information I collect.

However, no method of electronic transmission or storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

9. Your rights

Under applicable data protection law, you may have the right to:

  • Access the personal information I hold about you.

  • Request correction of inaccurate information.

  • Request deletion of your information.

  • Request restriction of processing.

  • Object to certain processing.

  • Request transfer of your information to another provider.

  • Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

These rights are subject to certain legal conditions and exemptions.
