Confidentiality & privacy.

 
  • Anything that is shared within a session or within a workshop setting, will not be shared with anyone else, unless there is an explicit agreement from a client.

  • I will hold all personal data responsibly and in strictest confidence. I will never knowingly share your data with any other parties, unless further express permission is given as part of our ongoing client agreement.

  • If we meet outside of a session or a workshop, I will honour any agreement we have made in relation to this.

  • If we have not made an agreement, I may use a gesture to acknowledge you and will take your lead on how we interact.

  • I will not disclose the nature of our professional relationship.

  • You may decide to disclose that openly and I would still retain confidentiality in relation to the nature of the work.

  • I will not out anyone’s sexuality, kink or relationship interests, identity, activities or status.

  • In line with the ACSB Code of Ethics, I would only break confidentiality if required by law or court order, or if I believed you or someone else was at serious risk of harm.
