2.3 We require all such third parties to whom we transfer your data to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law. They are only allowed to process your personal data on our instructions.

3. International Transfers
3.1 Some of our third party providers may be businesses outside of the UK and EEA in countries which do not always offer the same levels of protection for your personal data. We do our best to ensure a similar degree of security by ensuring that contracts, code of conduct or certification are in place which give your personal data the same protection it has within the UK and EEA.
3.2 We are subject to the provisions of the General Data Protection Regulations that protect your personal data. Where we transfer your data to third parties outside of the UK and EEA, we will ensure that certain safeguards are in place to ensure a similar degree of security for your personal data. As such:
-
We may transfer your personal data to countries that the United Kingdom regulatory authorities have approved as providing an adequate level of protection for personal data by; or
-
If we use US-based providers that are part of UK regulator approved privacy framework we may transfer data to them, as they have equivalent safeguards in place; or
-
Where we use certain service providers who are established outside of the UK and EEA, we may use specific contracts or codes of conduct or certification mechanisms approved by the European Commission which give personal data the same protection it has in the UK and EEA.
3.3 If none of the above safeguards are available, we may request your explicit consent to the specific transfer. You will have the right to withdraw this consent at any time.
4. Data security
4.1 We take your privacy very seriously and have put in place security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. We also limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know such data. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and are subject to a duty of confidentiality. We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breaches and will notify you and any applicable regulator where we are legally required to do so.
4.2 In certain circumstances you can ask us to delete your data. See the section entitled ‘your rights’ below for more information. We also may anonymise your personal data (so that you can no longer be identified from such data) for research or statistical purposes in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.
5. Data retention
5.1 We will only keep your personal data for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which we collected it. We may retain your data to satisfy any legal, accounting, insurance, regulatory body or reporting requirements, so for example we need to keep certain information about you for at least 8 years, and may be retained indefinitely, after you cease to be a client in order to comply with legal guidelines. You have the right to ask us to delete the personal data we hold about you in certain circumstances. See section 6 below.
5.2 Where personal information is shared in an enquiry and you do not take up any of our services, all personal and sensitive data will be deleted.
6. Your rights
6.1 Under certain circumstances, you have rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data.
6.2 You have the right to:
6.2.1 Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a "data subject access request"). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
6.2.2 Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.
6.2.3 Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.
6.2.4 Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.
6.2.5 Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios:
-
If you want us to establish the data's accuracy.
-
Where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it.
-
Where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
-
You have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.
6.2.6 Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.
6.3 Where we are relying on consent to process your personal data, you may withdraw your consent at any time. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.
6.4 If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please contact us at lucy@lucypaltnoi.com.
6.5 You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive, or excessive. Alternatively, we could refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.
6.6 We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.
6.7 We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it could take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.

In the event of non-payment, We may decide not to provide any further Individual Sessions (including the invoiced Individual Session).

The number of Sessions you may have will be entirely chosen by you. We typically recommend Sessions should be fortnightly and that a minimum of three (3) Sessions should allow you to notice results, although clients often feel benefits from their first Session.If you would like to continue with your Sessions after the initial Session, then you can either choose to pay for further Individual Sessions or you may opt for Our booking rate for a block of Sessions (“Block Booking”). This is payable in full in advance.

By attending the Session, you consent to this or please let Us know if you prefer Sessions without direct touch. You agree to inform Us of any pre-existing medical conditions that We should be aware of, so We can tailor the Session to your needs. Examples include (but are not limited to) a condition which may prevent you from lying flat on your back, or if you have any areas that are sensitive to touch.
21.2 Medical Reiki Sessions conducted are not a substitute for medical diagnosis and treatment. Medical treatment at no time will be encouraged to be stopped, reduced or altered. At no time do We provide medical treatment or advice. It is your responsibility to consult with your GP and get approval before any Sessions commence should you feel obliged. You understand that you should never disregard any professional medical advice, nor delay in seeking it, due to something you have learned during our Sessions.
21.3 No Guarantees There are multiple factors that influence the success of individual therapy. Whilst benefits are observed in most cases, there can be no guarantees of success or cure in relation to a condition or its treatment.
21.4 Children Clients under the age of 16 are welcome so long as they are accompanied by a parent or legal guardian, who will be asked to give signed consent to treatment. The parent or legal guardian will be required to remain present for the duration of the Session.
