We may collect the following information: name; job title; company name; contact information, including phone number (if provided), postal address and email address; demographic information, such as postcode, preferences and interests; your comments and feedback on our services (if given). In addition, as part of our coaching service, we might collect additional information generated in our time working together such as personal and team profiling assessments and perspectives on what you might consider your personal strengths, work motivators, skills and personal goals.

This information is collected if you request information from us, participate in a competition, and sign up to join our email list or request some other service or information from us. The information collected is internally reviewed, and used to improve the content of our website, notify our visitors of updates, and respond to visitor inquiries.

What do we do with the information we collect?

We require this information to understand your needs and provide you with a better service, only where we are allowed to by law, and in particular for the following reasons:

• Provide you with our coaching services, necessary for any contract between us.

• Internal record keeping.

• We may use the information to improve our services.

• We may wish to communicate with you about online or in-person events held throughout the year which provide opportunities to continue your coaching journey. This may include periodic promotional emails about new products, special offers or other information which we think you may find interesting, using the email address which you have provided, and with your permission.

• From time to time, we may also use your information to contact you for market research purposes.

We may contact you by email, phone or mail. We do not share your name and contact details with any third parties for marketing purposes, except in specific circumstances where during the course of a conversation an introduction is identified which may be beneficial to you. This would be only be done with your express permission, and with permission of the third party.

We do not use your data for automated decision making or profiling.

ICF recording of coaching hours

As part of our ongoing accreditation with the International Coach Federation we are required to periodically submit names and email addresses, along with coaching hours, for each client. To verify this record the ICF may contact clients expressly for this purpose only.

The ICF will only retain the Credential application materials for six (6) months after the application has been processed. At that time, all my application materials – and therefore your data – will be deleted from their systems. You can find out more about their privacy policy here: www.coachfederation.org/policies

Data security

We are committed to ensuring that your information is secure. In order to prevent unauthorised access or disclosure, we have put in place suitable physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect.

How long we keep your data

Unless you request otherwise, we will securely hold your data for a period of 7 years following our last contact. This is to fall in line with tax requirements and based on experience of time lapses between our clients’ bookings. After 7 years we will securely delete your data.

However, we will not delete your name, email address and coaching hours – this data will be retained for the sole, yet continuing, use of ICF credentialing (see above) – and will be deleted on the last day CLEAR PERSPECTIVES provides a coaching service.
