It applies to information collected about visitors to the website. 

 

I respect the personal data you supply to this website and will not disclose your personal data to third parties under any circumstances, unless required to do so by law. I will not provide your personal information to any third parties for the purpose of direct marketing.

Site Visitor tracking

Google Analytics also records your computer’s IP address, which could be used to personally identify you, but Google do not grant Riversmeet Counselling access to this.
