This is the privacy notice of Pinoy Therapy, a trading name of Isipan Limited, company number 14859935, whose registered office address is 128 City Road, London, United Kingdom EC1V 2NX. (‘we’, ‘our’, or ‘us’).
This notice describes how we collect, store, transfer and use personal data. It tells you about your privacy rights and how the law protects you.
In the context of the law and this notice, ‘personal data’ is information that clearly identifies you as an individual or which could be used to identify you if combined with other information. Acting in any way on personal data is referred to as ‘processing’.
Except as set out below, we do not share, or sell, or disclose to a third party, any information collected through our website.
The information we process about you includes information:
When you use our website we may ask you to provide personal data. This can be categorised into the following groups:
We may record communication between us including messages sent through our website, email messages and telephone conversations, as well as marketing preferences that tell us what types of marketing you would like to receive.
If you book a session, we shall ask you to complete a pre-consultation form before you attend. We ask for information that includes:
If you are a therapist we may also ask you to provide us with documentation that confirms:
From time to time, if you are a therapist using our website to advertise your services, we may confirm some of the information you provide to us directly using data from other sources. We also add to the information we hold about you, sometimes to remove the need for you to provide it to us and sometimes in order to be able to assess the quality of the services you offer.
The additional information we collect can be categorised as follows:
By using our website we process:
We may aggregate anonymous information such as statistical or demographic data for any purpose. Anonymous information is that which does not identify you as an individual. Aggregated information may be derived from your personal data but is not considered as such in law because it does not reveal your identity.
For example, we may aggregate usage information to assess whether a feature of our website is useful.
However, if we combine or connect aggregated information with your personal data so that it can identify you in any way, we treat the combined information as personal data, and it will be used in accordance with this privacy notice.
Special personal data is data about your race or ethnicity, religious or philosophical beliefs, sex life, sexual orientation, political opinions, trade union membership, information about your health and genetic and biometric data.
You may provide such data to your therapist in the course of your sessions with them. However, they do not provide it to us, and we do not collect any special personal data about you.
Where we need to collect personal data by law, or under the terms of a contract we have with you, and you fail to provide that data when requested, we may not be able to perform that contract.
In that case, we may have to stop providing a service to you. If so, we will notify you of this at the time.
The law requires us to determine under which of six defined bases we process different categories of your personal data, and to notify you of the basis for each category.
If a basis on which we process your personal data is no longer relevant then we shall immediately stop processing your data.
If the basis changes then if required by law we shall notify you of the change and of any new basis under which we have determined that we can continue to process your information.
When you create an account on our website, book a session, or otherwise agree to our terms and conditions, a contract is formed between you and us.
In order to carry out our obligations under that contract we must process the information you give us. Some of this information may be personal data.
We process this information on the basis there is a contract between us, or that you have requested we use the information before we enter into a legal contract.
We shall continue to process this information until the contract between us ends or is terminated by either party under the terms of the contract.
Through certain actions when otherwise there is no contractual relationship between us, such as when you browse our website, you provide your consent to us to process information that may be personal data.
Wherever possible, we aim to obtain your explicit consent to process this information, for example, we ask you to agree to our use of non-essential cookies when you access our website.
We continue to process your information on this basis until you withdraw your consent or it can be reasonably assumed that your consent no longer exists.
You may withdraw your consent at any time by telling us. However, if you do so, you may not be able to use our website further.
We aim to obtain and keep your consent to process your information. However, while we take your consent into account in decisions about whether or not to process your personal data, the withdrawal of your consent does not necessarily prevent us from continuing to process it. The law may allow us to continue to process your personal data, provided that there is another basis on which we may do so. For example, we may have a legal obligation to do so.
We may process information on the basis there is a legitimate interest, either to you or to us, of doing so.
Where we process your information on this basis, we do after having given careful consideration to:
For example, we may process your data on this basis for the purposes of:
Sometimes, we must process your information in order to comply with a statutory obligation.
For example, we may be required to give information to legal authorities if they so request or if they have the proper authorization such as a court order.
This may include your personal data.
Our website allows you to publish information with a view to that information being read, copied, downloaded, or used by other people.
For example, when you leave a review, we reasonably assume that you consent for the message to be seen by others. We may include your username with your message, and your message may contain information that is personal data.
In posting personal data, it is up to you to satisfy yourself about the privacy level of every person who might use it.
We do store it, and we reserve a right to use it in the future in any way we decide.
If you are a therapist, we may provide you with a public profile page, the information on which may be indexed by search engines or used by third parties. The information you provide on that profile page may be made available to the public.
Once your information enters the public domain, we have no control over what any individual third party may do with it. We accept no responsibility for their actions at any time.
Provided your request is reasonable and there is no legal basis for us to retain it, then at our discretion we may agree to your request to delete personal data that you have posted. You can make a request by contacting us.
We never take your payment information. Instead it is taken securely by our merchant service provider, whose web page may be branded to look like ours.
After confirming that your payment method is valid, the merchant service provider gives us a code that allows us to charge your payment method next time you book a session, without having to re-enter your payment details.
In the event of a dispute between you and someone else, such as a therapist, we may share your basic personal data, business information and contact information with the other person.
At our discretion, we may share other information to enable the dispute to be resolved through litigation or alternative dispute resolution methods.
We may share your personal data with businesses that provide services to us, or with business partners.
