I also process personal data pursuant to my legitimate interests in running my business such as invoices and receipts.

• Medical conditions (if relevant)

innerAssist collects your data so that I can:

• Ensure that the service I provide to you is responsive to your specific circumstances and needs. 

 

innerAssist will never share your data with any third party unless you have explicitly told me  that you would like me to, in order to help you get good support or healthcare.

 

I am required to have regular supervision with another professional therapist as part of my ongoing professional accreditation with the dutch cbt and family therapy associations. I never disclose any personally identifying information about my clients within supervision.

 

Legal exceptions to obtaining your consent 

There are some situations where I would be required to share your information with third parties, without your consent:

1. If I believe that a child, elderly person, or disabled person is being abused, I may be required to file a report with the appropriate services.

2. If I believe that a client is threatening serious bodily harm to another, I may be required to take protective actions.

3. If the client threatens to harm himself/herself, I may be obligated to seek hospitalization for him/her or to contact family members or others who can help provide protection. These situations have rarely occurred in my practice. If a similar situation occurs, I will make every effort to fully discuss it with you before taking any action. 

In those instances, I will always follow local and national safeguarding policies.

 

How do we store your data?

I make best efforts to ensure the security of your data.

All personal information provided is stored in compliance with EU General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) rules. 

 

I keep printed or handwritten information about you to a minimum in order to protect your data. Electronic information is securely stored. My devices are all password protected, with strong passwords that are all different from each other, and which I change at suitable intervals.
