Effective Date: July 1, 2024

​

This Privacy Policy describes how Sit With It Counselling & Psychotherapy ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and discloses your personal information when you use our website (the "Website") or utilise our therapy services.

​

Information We Collect

Personally Identifiable Information: This information can identify you as an individual. We only collect personally identifiable information that you provide to us through the Client Intake Form and the Informed Consent Form for our therapy services. This information may include your name, email address, phone number, and any other information asked for to understand your background before you start therapy sessions with us. This information is collected at the time of making a booking with us on the Website.

​

Use of Information

We use the information we collect to provide you with our therapy services. This includes using the information from the Client Intake Form to understand your background and needs before therapy sessions begin. Without your explicit consent, we will never share your personal information with anyone outside of Sit With It Counselling & Psychotherapy.

​

Information Protection

We take your privacy seriously and implement several security measures to safeguard your personal information.​

​

We use wix.com's inbuilt booking feature for appointment scheduling, to allow you to book appointments online. Wix.com will collect your name, email address, and phone number when you book an appointment. Either party does not share this information to any third party. 

​

As per Wix's privacy policy, "Wix may collect, store and process certain Personal Information of Users-of-Users (“Users-of-Users Information”), solely on our Users’ behalf and at their direction. For example, each of our Users is able to import their email contacts from third-party services like Gmail, or otherwise collect and manage contacts via their User Website. Such contacts are then stored with Wix, on the User’s behalf.​ For such purposes, Wix serves and shall be considered as a “Processor” and not as the “Controller” (as both such capitalized terms are defined in the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”)) of such Users-of-Users Information.​ The Users controlling and operating such User Websites shall be considered as the “Controllers” of such Users-of-Users Information, and are responsible for complying with all laws and regulations that may apply to the collection and control of such Users-of-Users Information, including all privacy and data protection laws of all relevant jurisdictions."​ For more information, visit https://www.wix.com/about/privacy
