Privacy notice

What happens to the information you send me, and how long I keep it.

Who is responsible

This website belongs to Hossain Radvar-Zangeneh, an Integrative Psychotherapist practising in London. I am responsible for the personal information collected through it, and you can reach me at info@beingandbecomingtherapy.co.uk.

What I collect

What this site collects

If you use the contact form, I receive your name, your email address, and whatever you choose to write in your message. Nothing else is collected about you. The site does not ask you to create an account, and it does not track you across other websites.

Why, and on what basis

Why I hold it

I use what you send only to reply to you, and, if we go on to work together, to arrange a first conversation.

Because a message about therapy may reveal something about your health, data protection law treats it as a special category of information and sets a higher bar for handling it. I rely on your explicit consent, given by choosing to send the message, and you can withdraw that consent at any time by writing to me.

You do not need to explain anything in detail at this stage. A few words about what you are looking for is enough, and less is often better in a first message.

How long I keep it

If we do not go on to work together, I delete your enquiry within six months.

If we do begin therapy, your enquiry becomes part of my clinical records. I keep those for seven years after our work ends, in line with professional and insurance guidance, and then destroy them securely.

Who sees it

Who else has access

No one else reads your message. I discuss my work in regular clinical supervision, but in a form that does not identify you.

I would share information without your agreement only where I am required to by law, or where there is a serious risk to your safety or to someone else's. Wherever it is possible and safe to do so, I would discuss that with you first.

Cookies

This site uses no advertising or tracking cookies, and no third-party analytics. Nothing is stored on your device beyond what your browser needs to display the page.

Your rights

You can ask me what information I hold about you, ask me to correct it, or ask me to delete it. Write to me at info@beingandbecomingtherapy.co.uk and I will respond within one month.

If you are unhappy with how I have handled your information, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk or on 0303 123 1113.
