Privacy Policy

We take your privacy seriously. We only ask you to provide the information that we need in order to deliver the service or information you have requested. The law requires us to tell you about your rights and our obligations to you in regards to the processing and control of your personal data. We do this now, by requesting that you read the information provided at Government Data Protection. Except as set out below, we do not share, or sell, or disclose to a third party any information collected through our website. In this policy, “we”, “us” and “our” refer to The British Association of Psychoanalytic and Psychodynamic Supervision.

1. Information We Collect.

It sets out the conditions under which BAPPS processes any information that we collect from you, or that you provide to us. It covers information that could identify you (“personal information”) and information that could not. In the context of the law and this notice, “process” means collect, store, transfer, use or otherwise act on information.

I. When you subscribe to our mailing list (such as your name and address).

II. When you register to be listed in our “Find a Supervisor directory”. We collect information that will be used to create your profile in the directory, such as name, address, email address, as well as such professional information as your qualifications, certifications, the demographic region in which you practice, and your fields of speciality.

III. We collect additional information for our records that may not be displayed as part of your directory profile but is necessary to check the information you provide or accept payment from you.

IV. We undertake to preserve the confidentiality of all information provided to us by visitors to our website and to our members.

V. Any information that you provide will only be used in the ways described in this privacy policy. If you terminate your membership we will delete all your data apart from a record of your membership with BAPPS.

VI. This policy complies with UK law accordingly implemented, including that required by the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

b. Like most sites, we maintain logs of site usage for purposes that enable us to evaluate our users’ interest level in areas of the website, which and how many pages they look at, how long they stay on the website, and what Web browsers are used. This data is tracked in aggregate form, not at an individual user level, and is not uniquely identifying. The aggregate level data will not be shared with third parties or the public

2. Our Use of Your Information.

a. We only use the information we collect to provide you with the services on our website that you request.

I. If the basis on which we process your personal information is no longer relevant then we shall immediately stop processing your data. If the basis changes then if required by law we shall notify you of the change.

II. The materials you post on the website, such as directory information are made available to be seen and read by other users of the website. No such materials are treated confidentially. We will remove your materials from the website at your request, but we cannot give any assurances that such materials are not still available from servers maintained by others (such as search engines or proxy servers) or that others have not already downloaded and stored such materials.

3. Limitations.
