This privacy policy explains how Meeks Counselling and Psychotherapy collects, uses, and protects your personal information when you visit this website or get in touch with us. This policy is provided as a general-purpose template and does not constitute legal advice; we recommend seeking professional legal review to confirm it fully meets your obligations.

Who we are

Meeks Counselling and Psychotherapy, 658 Oldham Road, Failsworth, Manchester, M35 9DU. Telephone: 07588 854912. We are a BACP registered practice (membership number 417342) and an NCPS Accredited Registrant.

Information we collect

When you use our contact form, we collect the name, email address, and any message details you choose to provide, so that we can respond to your enquiry. Our contact form is protected by Google reCAPTCHA to help prevent spam, so Google’s own privacy policy also applies to that part of the process. If you use one of our self-referral forms, this will take you to an external Google Form, which is governed by Google’s privacy policy rather than this one.

Cookies

This website only uses the essential cookies that our website platform, Squarespace, sets automatically to keep the site secure and working correctly, including cookies named crumb, ss_cvr, and ss_cvt. We do not use Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, or any other tracking or advertising cookies.

Payments

If you purchase a webinar or other product through this website, payment is processed securely by our website platform’s payment system. We do not see or store your card details.

How we use your information

We use the information you provide to respond to enquiries, arrange consultations and appointments, and provide counselling services. We do not share your information with third parties except where this is needed to deliver our services, for example our payment processor, or where we are required to do so by law.

How long we keep your information

We keep client information for as long as necessary to provide our services and to meet our professional and legal obligations, in line with BACP and NCPS guidance.

Your rights

Under UK data protection law (UK GDPR), you have the right to ask what personal information we hold about you, to ask us to correct or delete it, and to object to how we use it. If you have concerns about how we handle your information, you can also contact the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).

Contact us

If you have any questions about this policy or how we handle your information, please contact us on 07588 854912 or via our contact page.

This policy is a template and is not legal advice. We recommend reviewing it periodically and seeking professional legal advice to make sure it stays accurate and compliant.
