We respect your privacy and comply with UK data protection law (UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018).
This notice explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights.

What data we collect

• Contact details such as your name, email address and postal address.
  • Order and payment information for digital purchases (processed securely by WooCommerce, PayPal or Stripe).
  • Technical data such as cookies, IP address and browser type.
  • Information you choose to share when contacting us about counselling, wellbeing or personal support.
  • Marketing preferences.

How we use your data

• To process orders and deliver digital products.
  • To manage your account and respond to enquiries.
  • To provide counselling or wellbeing support when requested.
  • To send marketing emails if you have opted in through MailerLite.
  • To meet legal, tax and regulatory obligations.

Counselling and special category data

If you contact us about counselling or wellbeing support, any information you share is treated as confidential and handled with particular care.
We will not share details or session content with anyone else unless:
• required to do so by law,
• there is a serious risk of harm to you or someone else, or
• you have given explicit consent for information to be shared (for example, with your GP or another support person).

Counselling notes are stored separately from website data in password-protected, encrypted files, and retained only for as long as necessary for record-keeping and ethical care.
No clinical notes or sensitive personal information are stored on this public website.

Skwitzan’s approach to confidentiality and care is guided by faith and prayer, acting in good conscience and with compassion and integrity.

Lawful bases for processing

• For digital orders and accounts — contract.
  • For counselling and wellbeing enquiries — explicit consent and legitimate interests.
  • For marketing — consent, which you can withdraw at any time.

Sharing your data

We share information only with trusted service providers who help us operate this website and deliver our services (for example, hosting, email, payment processing, and security).
All such providers act under contract and process data only for our purposes.

Cookies

Essential cookies make the site work properly. Optional cookies help us improve it.
You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings or our cookie banner.

Your rights

You have the right to access, correct, delete or restrict your data, to object to certain processing, and to data portability.
You can withdraw consent or unsubscribe from marketing at any time by emailing skwitzan@gmail.com.

Security

We use HTTPS encryption, password protection and regular updates to keep data secure.
No system is completely secure, but we take all reasonable measures to protect your information and act in good faith to maintain your trust.

Updates

This notice may be updated from time to time. The most recent version will always appear on this page.
