We adhere to the following principles when processing your personal data:

• We will only collect personal data for specified, explicit and legitimate purposes
• We will not collect personal data beyond what is necessary to accomplish those purposes
• We will not use personal data for purposes other than that for which the data was collected, except as stated herein, or with prior consent
• We will not transfer personal data to third parties, except as stated herein, or with prior consent
• We will do our best to ensure that information is up to date by encouraging you to verify your personal data periodically
• We will maintain appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction or accidental loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure or access and against all other unlawful forms of processing
• Except when stated herein, we will not store personal data longer than is necessary to accomplish the purpose for which the data were collected or for which they are further processed, or as is required by law

Personal data we collect and process

We may collect and process the following data about you:

• Data you give us. You may give us information about you by filling in forms on our site (https://www.nafshealth.com) or through the questionnaires we ask you to complete, or by corresponding with us by phone, email or otherwise. This includes information you provide when you register to use our site, subscribe to any updates, request or receive psychiatric consultation and psychological therapy through our site, participate in social media functions on our site, complete a survey or report a problem with our site. The information you give us may include your name, address, email address and phone number, financial and credit card information, personal description and medical history.
• Data we collect about you. With regard to each of your visits to our site we may automatically collect the following data:
• Technical data, including the Internet protocol (IP) address used to connect your computer to the Internet, your login information, browser type and version, time zone setting, browser plug-in types and versions, operating system and platform
• Your behaviour information collected via use of cookies and similar technologies like pixels, tags and other identifiers in order to remember your preferences, to understand how our website and app(s) are used and to customize our marketing offerings; data about your visit, including the full Uniform Resource Locators (URL) clickstream to, through and from our site (including date and time); pages you viewed or searches you carried out; page response times, download errors, length of visits to certain pages, page interaction information (such as scrolling, clicks, and mouse-overs), and methods used to browse away from the page and any phone number used to call our customer service number
• Data we receive from other sources. We may receive data about you from third parties we work closely with (including, without limitation, medical practitioners, business partners, sub-contractors in technical, payment and delivery services, analytics providers, search information providers).

How we use your personal data

We use data held about you in the following ways:

Data you give to us. We will use this data:

• To carry out our obligations arising from any contracts entered into between you and us relating to psychiatric consultations and psychological therapy, and to provide you with the information and services that you request from us
• To provide you with information about other services we offer that are similar to those that you have already received or enquired about
• To provide you with information about goods or services we feel may interest you. If you are an existing client, we will only contact you by electronic means (email or SMS) with information about services similar to those you have previously received or enquired about
• To notify you about changes to our services
• To ensure that content from our site is presented in the most effective manner for you and for your computer
• We may also use your data from the questionnaires you complete for audit and service evaluation purposes. The data used will be anonymised and no identifiable information will be shared with anyone outside of the clinic. This information will be analysed at a group level meaning the data from clients will be combined making it impossible to identify an individual from the data. It will be used to identify general trends of statistics about how the clinic is delivering on successful outcomes. This helps us achieve a good standard of care and highlights areas for improvement.
• Data we collect about you. We will use this data:
• To administer our site and for internal operations including troubleshooting, data analysis, testing, research, statistical and survey purposes
• To improve our site to ensure that content is presented in the most effective manner for you and for your computer
• To allow you to participate in interactive features of our service, when you choose to do so
  As part of our efforts to keep our site safe and secure
• To measure or understand the effectiveness of marketing we serve to you and others, and to deliver relevant marketing to you
• To make suggestions and recommendations to you and other users of our site about goods or services that may interest you or them
• Data we receive from other sources. We may combine this data with data you give to us and data we collect about you. We may use this data and the combined data for the purposes set out above.

Where we store and process your personal data

As a general principle, your personal data is stored and processed within the European Economic Area (EEA). It may also be processed by staff operating outside the EEA who work for us or for one of our suppliers. Such staff may be engaged in, among other things, the processing of your payment details. By submitting your personal data, you agree to this transfer, storing or processing. In case of transfer of your personal data to any third countries, as defined in General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), applicable legislation and regulations concerning such transfers are observed and relevant legal and security safeguards are ensured before such transfer.

All information you provide to us is stored on our secure servers. Any payment transactions will be encrypted. Where we have given you a password which enables you to access certain parts of our site, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential and we ask you not to share a password with any other parties.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our site; any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.
