Who we are
Welcome to Past 2 Present Counselling & Psychotherapy. My website, accessible at https://past2presentcounselling.com, is committed to maintaining the privacy and security of your personal information. This privacy policy outlines how I collect, use, and protect the information you provide while using our services.
Collection and Use of Personal Data
Comments: When you leave comments on my site, I collect the data shown in the comments form, your IP address, and browser user agent string to help spam detection. This data help me to facilitate conversations and ensure the integrity of my site.
Media: If you upload images to the website, I recommend that you avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the site can download and extract any location data from images on the website, which could compromise your privacy.
Cookies: My website uses cookies to enhance your user experience. If you leave a comment on this site, you may opt-in to save your name, email address, and website in cookies, which are for your convenience so you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies last for one year. Additionally, I set temporary cookies to manage login and site navigation functionalities; these are removed when you log out or close the browser.
Embedded Content from Other Websites: Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles). Such embedded content from other websites behaves in the same way as if the visitor has visited the other website. These sites may collect data about you, use cookies, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content.
Data Sharing
I do not share your personal data with any third-party entities except as necessary to provide my services or as required by law. For instance, if you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
Data Retention
I retain your data for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this policy. Comments and their metadata are retained indefinitely to recognize and approve any follow-up comments. For registered users, I also store the personal information they provide in their user profiles. All users can manage their personal information at any time—except they cannot change their username.
Your Rights Over Your Data
You have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal data held by me at any time. You can request an exported file of the personal data I hold about you, including any data you have provided to me. Please note that this does not include any data I am obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
