What Data do we Collect
We aim to ask you for the minimum data as we don’t want to intrude. We will ask you for a contact email address, so we can send you the information you have asked for. Your name becomes necessary if we want to interact with you on a personal basis, and although it is mandatory on the opt in form, please use a pseudonom or contact us if you would like to be anomous. A telephone number is optional and useful if you become a client. We do not ask for your physical address, age, marital status although these can help us to know the type of people we are aiming our services at.
Other data we collect: Notes on paper when you have a session with us. Your name on invoices.
If you have reason to think your privacy or rights have not been kept to in line with this policy and the law, please read our complaints procedure, contact us, and we aim to respond within 3 days if it is not urgent. If it is urgent, please contact Sarah Sims Williams via messenger, with a brief outline (so we know it is not spam).

We use Mailchimp for sending out emails in bulk, and they do collect data. There is also a tracker. They tell us who opens their emails or clicks on a link. We have control of your details in Mailchimp, and they are treated as above. We have some discomfort around Mailchimp & at the same time want to make our life easy, please get in touch if you have any responses to this.
