This is to inform you what data Valerie Keay at Firefly Wellness collects from you and what I intend to do with it.  

Name and age – this is basic information that helps me get to know you. 

Address, email address, phone number – I use this as a way of contacting you regarding your sessions.  I will mainly use the method you first contacted me on but if I cannot reach you, I will try a different  method. 

Next of kin/medical professional’s details

If I was worried that you were at risk then I may need to  contact your next of kin or medical professional, if I can. I will let you know when/if I am going to do  this. 

Session notes

I keep brief notes of our session(s) - see ‘How I will store your data’ below.  These are encrypted with password and saved in a multi-factor authenticated online drive, only accessible by myself.   Records will be saved for a period of 1 year and will then be deleted.

Will I share your data and if I do, who will I share it with and for what purpose? 

It is very unlikely that I will share your data. I will not sell it on or use it for unethical reasons. I may have  to share it if my notes are subpoenaed by court, if you or anyone you tell me about is at harm or risk of  harm I may have to pass this information on. I may also discuss your case during supervision but I only  use your first name. 

How will I store your data? 

Immediately after our session(s) I transfer the data with your initials to my password protected computer. Your phone number(s) may be kept in my business mobile phone with your first name and last initial. Only I will  access your information. Any session form are encrypted with password and saved in a multi-factor authenticated online drive, only accessible by myself.   

How long will I store your data for and how will I dispose of it? 

I will keep your details and session notes for the time required by my insurer. After this time I will destroy any document with your personal information and delete your phone  number out of my mobile phone.
