MY COMMITMENT TO YOU
Under data protection legislation, all organisations that handle personal information must comply with a number of important principles about the privacy and disclosure of this information.

YOUR DATA
Personal data may include your and/or your child's name, telephone number, email address, and date of birth. The provision of personal information is voluntary. I only collect and process the personal information needed to carry out my work or to comply with any legal requirements.
The personal data I hold is collected in electronic form and stored on secure servers. Please note no method of transmission over the internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure.
HOW I PROTECT YOUR PERSONAL DATA
- My phone, computer and email lists are all password-protected
- I edit all parent/client names so as to not make anyone instantly identifiable
- You may withdraw or modify your consent at any time by writing to maggie@smileymindskids.com
- I am willing to communicate with clients via three secure methods only – email, text and phone call (no Skype, or What’s App, for example)
- I have written a Therapeutic Will, which means that - in the event of my death or longterm incapacity - the client data I hold will be respectfully processed by a trusted executor.
NON-DISCLOSURE TO THIRD PARTIES
Maggie Richards Ltd. does not transfer personal information to third parties or service providers. Unless required or permitted by law, I won’t use or disclose your personal information for a new purpose not identified here.
USE AND RETENTION
I retain personal information for only as long as it is necessary to fulfill the stated purposes, except with the consent of the individual or as required by law. Personal information provided to me by users is primarily stored on servers in the United Kingdom.
Maggie Richards Ltd. will erase personal information that I believe to be no longer needed.
