PRIVACY NOTICE

Last updated: September 2026

Quietly Becoming Therapies respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information. This notice explains what information I collect, why I collect it, how it is used, and the rights you have in relation to your information.

Who is responsible for your information?

Quietly Becoming Therapies is responsible for the personal information collected through this website and during the provision of its services.

For questions about this notice or the use of your information, please contact:

Email: hello@quietlybecomingtherapies.co.uk

Information I may collect

Depending on how you contact me and the services you receive, I may collect:

• Your name and contact details
• Your preferred method of contact
• Information included in your consultation request
• Appointment and communication records
• Information relevant to providing hypnotherapy or emotional wellbeing support
• Health or wellbeing information that you choose to provide
• Payment and transaction information, where applicable

Please avoid including detailed medical or highly sensitive information in the website contact form. Any necessary information can be discussed privately during the consultation process.

Why I use your information

Your information may be used to:

• Respond to enquiries and consultation requests
• Arrange and manage appointments
• Assess whether the services I provide are suitable for your needs
• Provide agreed services safely and appropriately
• Process payments and maintain business records
• Meet legal, safeguarding, insurance and professional obligations
• Communicate with you about the services you have requested

My lawful reasons for using personal information may include taking steps at your request before entering into an agreement, fulfilling an agreement with you, complying with legal obligations and pursuing legitimate business interests.

Health and wellbeing information is treated as sensitive personal information and is handled with additional care. Where necessary, I will ask for your explicit consent to process this information unless another lawful condition applies.

Sharing your information

I do not sell your personal information.

Information may be shared only when necessary with trusted service providers that support the operation of the business, such as Squarespace and the business email provider. These providers process information according to their own security and privacy arrangements.

Information may also be disclosed where required by law, to protect someone from serious harm or where you have given permission for it to be shared with another appropriate professional or service.

International processing

Some technology providers may process information outside the United Kingdom. Where this occurs, I take reasonable steps to ensure that appropriate data-protection safeguards are in place.

How long information is kept

Personal information is kept only for as long as it is reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected and to meet applicable legal, insurance and professional requirements. Information that is no longer required will be securely deleted or destroyed.

Keeping your information secure

Reasonable administrative and technical measures are used to protect personal information from loss, unauthorised access, misuse or disclosure. However, no method of online communication or electronic storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Your rights

Depending on the circumstances, you may have the right to:

• Ask for access to your personal information
• Ask for inaccurate information to be corrected
• Ask for your information to be deleted
• Ask for the use of your information to be restricted
• Object to certain uses of your information
• Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent
• Ask for your information to be transferred where applicable

To exercise any of these rights, contact hello@quietlybecomingtherapies.co.uk.

You also have the right to raise a concern with the Information Commissioner’s Office at www.ico.org.uk.
