You have rights relating to the information I hold to verify the accuracy or to ask for them to be supplemented, deleted, updated or corrected.

​
In the event of a data breach, I have a legal obligation to report this breach of your information to both yourself and the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) within 72 hours of the breach occurring. 

Sharing of data
There may be times where your information needs to be shared with third parties. I will explicitly ask your consent before doing so, and the data will be sent to third parties securely. The only exception to this is in emergency situations where you may be in immediate danger of harm and obtaining your consent would delay the appropriate support being provided to you; in such situations only sufficient information to ensure your safety will be shared with the emergency services. There are also certain circumstances under which I am required to share your personal data to comply with legal obligations, including if I am subpoenaed to court, there are safeguarding children or vulnerable adult investigations, terrorism or money laundering involved. 
​
Information, without use of names, will be shared with my supervisor who is also HCPC accredited and regularly reviews my practice. My supervisor is also bound by a confidentiality policy. Confidentiality will be broken if I have concerns that you or anyone else is at risk. If this occurs it will be discussed in the appointment and recommendations will be discussed and documented in your notes.
​
If you have been recommended to see me by Quayside Crossfit, we will discuss if you would like me to work collaboratively with your personal trainers to get the most benefit within our appointments, and in your workouts. 
​
In the event of my incapacity or death, your personal contact information will be disclosed to the executor of my Professional Will so that they can notify you and support you in the next steps. In the event of my death, following notifying you my executor will then destroy all contact information I hold on my business phone and email, and will inform Writeupp.
