General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR), effective from 25th May 2018
Under the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR), effective from 25th May 2018, you have the following rights:
-
The right to be informed. This is why Sacha has produced this policy
-
The right of access. If you wish to see your data/information, then please make a request in writing to Sacha Taylor at The Corsham Practice. The easiest way to do this is to email her at info@corshampractice.co.uk, and she will provide the relevant information to you within 30 days of your request.
-
The right to rectification. This is your right to request changes to any information Sacha holds that is factually inaccurate. If you believe any of the information she has about you is incorrect, then please let her know as soon as possible by emailing her at info@corshampractice.co.uk and she will make the appropriate changes.
-
The right to erasure or restrict processing. If you do not request deletion of your data sooner, Sacha’s professional insurance policy (with Holistic Insurance) stipulates that she is required to hold your data for a period of 7 years. After 7 years, all information related to your work together will be securely destroyed. With regard to your right to restrict processing, Sacha will only use the information you provide for the purposes that she has stated: However please note, most standards of confidentiality applied in professional contexts are based upon the Common Law concept of confidentiality where the duty to keep confidence is measured against the concept of “greater good”. If in a therapist's opinion, there is good cause to believe that not to disclose information would cause danger or serious harm to self, the therapist or others, then a GP or other appropriate agencies may be contacted. Only information required to ensure safety of relevant parties would be disclosed and information may have to be disclosed without consent for the prevention, detection or prosecution of a crime.
-
The right not to be subject to automated decision-making. Sacha at The Corsham Practice does not use any automated tools that could affect you and will not use your information for profiling purposes.
In addition to changes introduced to UK GDPR (2026) you have a right to raise concern with the data controller if you think that your personal information has been used in a way that doesn’t comply with the law. If you wish to raise an issue or complaint about how Sacha has handled your data at any time, you may do so by calling her on 07957397291 or emailing her at info@corshampractice.co.uk with details of your concerns. She will investigate and respond to you as promptly as possible, but certainly within 30 days of receiving your email, in line with the DUAA (2025) updated guidance regarding data protection. Should her reply not be satisfactory, you can escalate it to the Information Commissioner Office’s via their website: https://ico.org.uk, quoting Sacha’s ICO membership number: ZB669810.
