IAEBP Privacy Policy
The International Association for Evidence Based Psychotherapy (hereinafter referred to as “the IAEBP”) treats the privacy of its members and website users very seriously and we take appropriate security measures to safeguard your privacy. This Policy explains how we protect and manage any personal data* you share with us and that we hold about you, including how we collect, process, protect and share that data.
‘Personal data means any information that may be used to identify an individual, including, but not limited to, a first and last name, a home or other physical address, an email address or other contact information (whether at work or at home).
How we obtain your personal data
Information provided by you
You provide us with personal data either on your application form, renewal form, via an online application or renewal form, by email communication or over the telephone (we do not record telephone conversations). We may also keep information contained in any correspondence you may have with us by post.
This includes:
Name,
Address,
Email address,
Mobile and/or landline telephone number,
Forum username and Password(if supplied by us)
Membership status
Website URL
Business address
Record of membership subs paid
A copy of your membership application form
A record of your CRB and DBS clearances
A copy of any official complaints about you or your practice. Any such complaint will have been discussed with you and dealt with. There are no secret files.
We record this information in a computer database (locally/off-line) and use this information in order to manage and administer your membership whilst you remain a member of the IAEBP. We also display information about your business contact details on our publicly available Therapist Directory on our website. Please also see the ‘How long do we keep this information about you?’ section below.
How we use your personal data
We use your personal data to manage and administer your membership. This includes the collection of payments and verifying your identity when you contact us to discuss your membership.
How long do we keep this information about you?
We keep your information indefinitely after any lapse of membership. This is retained to enable verification of yourself as a previous member should you wish to re-join the Association or to prove that you were qualified to practice in the past. There is a lack of data about who has received IAH and IAPH diplomas in the past so membership data becomes more useful. A continuous review of the personal information held will be undertaken and any information which is no longer required for the above reasons will be disposed of securely.
