Information I may collect

I may collect and process:

  • Your name, email address and telephone number

  • Information submitted through the website enquiry form

  • Appointment and payment information

  • Information shared during assessment and therapy

  • Clinical notes and correspondence

  • Relevant health, wellbeing and safeguarding information

  • Technical information collected when you use this website, such as your IP address, device and browser information

Please do not include detailed, sensitive or urgent information in the website enquiry form.

Why I use your information

I use personal information to:

  • Respond to enquiries

  • Arrange consultations and therapy sessions

  • Assess whether my service is suitable for you

  • Provide and manage therapy

  • Maintain appropriate clinical and business records

  • Process and confirm payments

  • Meet professional, safeguarding, insurance and legal obligations

  • Protect the safety and legal rights of clients and others

Lawful basis

Depending on the circumstances, I process personal information because it is necessary to take steps at your request before entering into a therapy agreement, to perform that agreement, comply with legal obligations or pursue legitimate interests in operating and protecting my practice.

Health and therapy information is special-category data. It is processed where necessary for the provision and management of health or social-care services under a duty of confidentiality, and where another lawful condition such as explicit consent applies.

How information is stored and used

The services used by Sanyu Therapies include:

  • Squarespace for website hosting and enquiry forms

  • Google Workspace for professional email

  • Google Meet for online sessions

  • Kiku for client records

  • A banking provider for receiving payments

These providers may process limited personal information on my behalf according to their own data-protection terms.

I take reasonable steps to protect personal information from unauthorised access, loss, misuse or disclosure.

Sharing information

Your information is treated confidentially. It will not be sold.

Information may be shared only when necessary, including:

  • With service providers supporting the operation of the practice

  • During professional supervision, with identifying information minimised where possible

  • When you have given permission

  • When required by law

  • When necessary to address serious safety or safeguarding concerns

  • With professional or legal advisers, insurers or regulatory bodies where appropriate

The limits of confidentiality will be explained before therapy begins.

International processing

Some technology providers may store or process information outside the United Kingdom. Where this occurs, I rely on the safeguards used by those providers to protect personal information in accordance with applicable data-protection law.

How long information is retained

Personal information is kept only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected and to meet professional, safeguarding, insurance and legal obligations.

Different types of information may be retained for different periods. The applicable retention arrangements will be explained in the therapy agreement. Information will be securely deleted or anonymised when it is no longer required.

Your rights

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

  • Request access to your personal information

  • Ask for inaccurate information to be corrected

  • Request deletion of information

  • Restrict or object to certain processing

  • Request a copy of information in a portable format

  • Withdraw consent where processing relies on consent

These rights are not always absolute. Some information may need to be retained to meet legal, professional, safeguarding or insurance obligations.
