I act as data controller for the information you supply to me. This can include:

• Health information, to help me teach mindfulness more effectively.

• Other information to help me do my work, such as biographical information, training needs, feedback, and email or text communications.

• Provide other services to you effectively

I use the information for the purposes listed above.

I do not disclose information to anyone else, except when it is necessary to do so for unavoidable reasons (for example: to obtain professional supervision, for the resolution of issues and disputes, or to work with you and other collaborators on a project or course).

When I collect information specifically as part of my work with other organisations, I may share information with them if that is necessary.

I securely store your data on my own devices but not in Apple’s iCloud.
