How we process your personal data:

Lenka Pagan complies with the obligations under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) by keeping personal data up to date; by storing (and destroying it) securely; by not collecting or retaining excessive amounts of data; by protecting personal data from loss, misuse, unauthorised access and disclosure and by ensuring that appropriate technical measures are in place to protect personal data.

We use your personal data for the following purposes:

• To deliver the services that you as a client have requested; 
• To contact those clients as necessary in accordance with the services they have requested;
• To contact clients via surveys to ascertain their opinions on the service they received from us;
• To maintain our own accounts and records.
• To inform you of any special promotions, information and offers that may be of interest or relevant to you

 In the event that our recorded data is utilised for research purposes, our own supervision or for the instruction or tuition of students, all such data will be sufficiently anonymised to the extent that individual clients cannot be identified. Should a client indicate that their data should not be used for these purposes, we would refrain from using that data.

Data Sharing:

Individual client data will never be passed to a third party without the express consent of the respective client, always provided that such confidentiality is neither inconsistent with the therapist’s own safety or that of the client, the client’s family members or other members of the public, nor in contravention of any legal action or legal requirement.

Data Retention:

In accordance with our need to maintain the possibility of access to client data as a result of returning clients or those who may wish to lodge a complaint in respect of our professional services to either our professional body or our insurers (i.e. in all cases perhaps after a long period of time has elapsed), we retain client data for a minimum period of 7 years.

Our Lawful Basis for processing client personal data:

The client has given clear consent for Lenka Pagan to process their personal data for a specific purpose. Further, the processing is necessary for both our client’s and our own legitimate interests.
