Privacy notice

Last updated: [DATE]

Dr Sophie Schimmel (“I”, “me”) is the data controller for personal information collected through this website. I take your privacy seriously and handle your information in line with UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.

What I collect

When you use the contact form, I collect the details you choose to give me: your name, email address, phone number (optional), session preference and your message.

Why I collect it

Only to respond to your enquiry and, if you wish, to arrange an initial consultation. The lawful basis is your consent and steps taken at your request before entering into an agreement.

How it’s handled

Form messages are delivered to me by Formspree, a third-party form service, and then stored securely in my email. I do not sell or share your details with anyone else, and I do not use them for marketing.

How long I keep it

If we don’t go on to work together, I delete enquiry details within [6 months]. If we do, your information is kept in line with my clinical record-keeping obligations, which I will explain at the start of therapy.

Cookies

This website does not use tracking or advertising cookies.

Your rights

You can ask to see, correct or delete the information I hold about you, or withdraw your consent at any time, by contacting me at [EMAIL]. If you’re unhappy with how your data has been handled, you can complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk.
