I

 

This privacy policy covers Rivermeet Counselling and its website at www.riversmeetcounselling.co.uk.

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. 

 

I am committed to the principles of data protection and privacy and carry out business in compliance with the UK Data Protection Act (DPA)1998, the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Legislation of October 2003, the EU e-Privacy Directive and the EU General Data protection Regulation (GDPR) 2016/679.

 

Site Visitor tracking

When someone visits www.riversmeetcounselling.co.uk, a third party service, Google Analytics, is used to track user interaction, e.g.  to assess the number of people visiting this site, how they find and use the web pages and to understand their journey through the website.  Although GA records data such as your geographical location, device, Internet browser and operating system, none of this information personally identifies you to Riversmeet Counselling. 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. 

The information generated relating to the website is used to create reports about the use of the website. Google and Microsoft will store this information. Google's privacy policy is available at: http://www.google.com/privacypolicy.html

Most browsers allow you to reject all cookies, whilst some browsers allow you to reject just third party cookies.  For example, in Internet Explorer you can refuse all cookies by clicking “Tools”, “Internet Options”, “Privacy”, and selecting “Block all cookies” using the sliding selector.  Disabling cookies on your Internet browser will stop GA from tracking any part of your visit to pages within this website.  

 

Contact forms and email links

Should you choose to contact Riversmeet Counselling using the contact form on my Contact Me pageor an email link like this one, none of the data that you supply will be stored by this website or passed to / be processed by any of the third party data processors.
