We may collect the following personal information when you contact us or use our services:

• Name and contact details (email address, phone number)
• Information you provide through our contact form
• Details you share about your circumstances when enquiring about or receiving therapy
• Correspondence between you and Bloom Psychology

We use your personal information to:

• Respond to enquiries and arrange appointments
• Provide clinical psychology and counselling services
• Maintain accurate clinical and administrative records
• Meet our legal and professional obligations, including those set out by the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and the British Psychological Society (BPS)

We process your information under the following lawful bases: consent (for general enquiries and contact form submissions), and legitimate interests and legal obligation (for the delivery and record-keeping of clinical services). Where we process special category data, such as information about your health, this is processed on the basis of the provision of health or social care treatment.

We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure or destruction. Clinical records are held securely and only accessed by those directly involved in your care.

We do not sell or rent your personal information. We may share information with third parties only where required by law, where necessary to protect someone's safety, or with your explicit consent, for example when liaising with your GP or another professional involved in your care.

We retain personal and clinical information in line with our professional body's guidelines (BPS/HCPC), which generally require records to be kept for a minimum of seven years after the end of treatment, or longer where clinically appropriate. Enquiry information from those who do not proceed to treatment is retained only as long as necessary.

Under UK data protection law, you have the right to:

• Access the personal information we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate information
• Request deletion of your information, where applicable
• Object to or restrict certain processing
• Request a copy of your data in a portable format

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at info@bloompsychology.co.uk. There is no fee for making these requests.

Our services are intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
