Privacy Policy 

SPC Psychology Ltd is committed to maintaining your confidence and trust with respect to the information we collect from you. This privacy policy sets forth the information we collect about you, how we use this information, and the choices you have about how we use such information. Your use of the Site and our use of the personal information you provide to us is subject to the terms of this privacy policy and our Terms of Use.

Collection and Registration of Personal Information

We sometimes request users of the Site to provide personally identifiable information. For example, in order to use our contact form, you will be required to submit certain personally identifiable information. The information collected from you is strictly voluntary. You may decline to submit personally identifiable information, in which case we may not be able to provide certain services to you. The type of information collected during the registration process may include your contact information, such as your name, email address, postal address, phone number and country of residence (“Registration Information”).

Use of Personal Information

We do not use your email address, phone number, or other personally identifiable information to send commercial or marketing messages without your consent. We may, however, use your email address without further consent for non-marketing or administrative purposes (such as notifying you of major changes or for customer service purposes).

We use certain non-personally-identifiable information (such as anonymous usage data, cookies, IP addresses, browser type, clickstream data, and user location) to improve the quality and design of the Site and to create new features, promotions, functionality, and services by storing, tracking, and analysing user preferences and trends.

We may use cookies, clear gifs, and log file information to: (a) remember information so that you will not have to re-enter it during your visit or the next time you visit the Site; (b) provide custom, personalised content and information; (c) monitor the effectiveness of our service; (d) monitor aggregate metrics such as total number of visitors or pages viewed; and (e) track your posts, submissions, and status in promotions, sweepstakes, and contests.

Disclosure of Personal Information to Third Parties

Access to your personal information is restricted to use by SPC Psychology Ltd. We do share non-personally-identifiable information (such as anonymous usage data, referring / exit pages and URLs, platform types, number of clicks, and user location) with interested third-parties to assist with understanding the usage patterns for certain content, services, advertisements, promotions, and/or functionality for the Site.

We will not otherwise disclose any personal information without your consent except: in response to subpoenas, court orders, or legal process, or to establish or exercise our rights to defend against legal claims; and if we believe it is necessary to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, safety of person or property, violation of our policies, or as otherwise required by law.

GDPR compliance – Access and Changes to Your Information and Preferences

You may, at any time, request to view all the information we hold about you by emailing shinel@psychologyforchange.co.uk. We will endeavour to respond within 3 working days.

You can request your information to be updated, corrected or entirely withdrawn and deleted from all our systems, processes and databases.

Should you request data withdrawal, we will first provide you with all the data we hold about you, then confirm completion of the withdrawal request via the email address you have provided within 72 hours unless we receive communication by you to halt the process.

You will receive no further communication from our systems unless you enter information on a form contained within the Site subsequent to deletion. You must allow consent of any information required to be submitted and stored.

Retention of Personal Information

We retain the personal information we collect from you for as long as the information is relevant to our business purposes or until you request that we remove the data.

Our Commitment to Data Security

We recognise that your privacy is important to you, and therefore we endeavour to keep your personal information confidential. However, we do not represent, warrant, or guarantee that your personal information will be protected against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, or alterations, and do not accept any liability for the security of the personal information submitted to us nor for your or third parties’ use or misuse of personal information.

To help us make emails more useful and interesting for registered users, we may receive a confirmation when you open email from the Site. We may also compare our registered user list to lists received from other companies, in an effort to avoid sending unnecessary messages to our registered users.

In the Event of Merger, Sale, or Bankruptcy

In the event that SPC Psychology Ltd is acquired by or merged with a third party entity, we reserve the right, in any of these circumstances, to transfer or assign the information we have collected from our users as part of such merger, acquisition, sale, or other change of control. In the event of our bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganisation, receivership, or assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the application of laws or equitable principles affecting creditors’ rights generally, we may not be able to control how your personal information is treated, transferred, or used.
