1. Introduction

SH Coaching Services Limited needs to collect and use certain types of information about the Individuals we work with in order to carry out our services. This personal information is always collected and handled appropriately whether on paper, stored in a computer database, or recorded in any other format. There are strict safeguards in place to ensure this, under the General Data Protection Regulation 2018 (GDPR), and we commit to full compliance.

This privacy policy sets out how SH Coaching Services Limited uses and protects any personal information given to us during our work and in the use of the website: “www.StephenHedger.com”.

SH Coaching Services Limited is committed to ensuring that privacy is protected. Any information by which a client or customer can be identified will only be used in accordance with this policy.

This policy is subject to routine changes which ensure continued compliance with all privacy and data protection legislation.

This policy is valid from the date specified in the document footer.

2. Data Controller

SH Coaching Services Limited is the Data Controller under the GDPR, which means that we determine the purposes for which personal information is held and used. We are therefore also responsible for ensuring that this data is controlled in full compliance with the GDPR.

3. Disclosure

Personal data will never be sold, distributed or leased to a private third-party. In the very rare occasion that this may be necessary, the express permission of the data subject will be sought unless the law explicitly requires or stipulates otherwise.

SH Coaching Services Limited will never share data with other agencies,
(such as local authorities, funding bodies and voluntary agencies) unless at least one of the following circumstances apply.

The data subject will be made aware in all relevant circumstances of how and with whom their information will be shared. There are however, rare circumstances where the law may require that SH Coaching Services Limited disclose data (including sensitive data) without the data subject’s consent.

These include:

  1. Carrying out a legal duty or as authorised by the Secretary of State
  2. Protecting vital interests of an Individual
  3. The Individual has already made the information public
  4. Conducting any legal proceedings, obtaining legal advice or defending any legal rights

SH Coaching Services Limited regards the lawful and correct treatment of personal information to be of the utmost importance in creating successful working relationships, and to maintaining the confidence of those with whom we deal.

SH Coaching Services Limited intends to ensure beyond all doubt, that personal information is treated lawfully and correctly. To this end, SH Coaching Services Limited will adhere to the Principles of Data Protection, as detailed in the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Specifically, but not exhaustively, these principles require that:

  1. Personal data shall be processed lawfully, fairly and in a transparent manner in relation to the data subject.
  2. Personal data shall be collected for specified, explicit and legitimate purposes and not further processed in a manner that is incompatible with those purposes.
  3. Personal data shall be adequate, relevant and limited to what is necessary in relation to the purposes for which they are processed.
  4. Personal data shall be accurate and kept up to date.
  5. Personal data shall be kept in a form which permits identification of data subjects for no longer than is necessary for the purposes for which the personal data are processed.
  6. Personal data shall be processed in a manner that ensures appropriate security of the personal data, including protection against unauthorised or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction or damage, using appropriate technical or organisational measures.
  7. The controller shall be responsible for, and be able to demonstrate compliance with the GDPR.

SH Coaching Services Limited will, through appropriate management and strict application of criteria and controls:

  • Observe fully, conditions regarding the fair collection and use of information.
  • Meet its legal obligations to specify the legitimate purposes for which information is used.
  • Collect and process appropriate information, and only to the extent that it is needed to fulfill its operational needs or to comply with any legal requirements.
  • Ensure the quality of information kept and used.
  • Ensure that the rights (as defined by the ICO) of people about whom information is held, can be fully exercised under the GDPR. These include:

  • Treat people justly and fairly whatever their age, religion, disability, gender, sexual orientation or ethnicity when dealing with requests for information.
  • Set out clear procedures for responding to requests for information, erasure of information and cessation of processing.

4. Data Collection

Consent is defined as: “Offering individuals real choice and control. Genuine consent puts individuals in charge, building customer trust and engagement.”

  • Consent requires a positive, verifiable and deliberate opt-in. We, therefore, make sure to have a positive opt-in option for all clients through all relevant communication channels.

Where consent is not required or realistically available, the legitimate interest of the data subject can be used as a lawful basis for personal data processing.

To determine legitimate interest, we make sure to:

  • Identify a justifiable legitimate interest.
  • Show that the processing is necessary to achieve it.
  • Balance it against the individual’s interests, rights and freedoms.

SH Coaching Services Limited will ensure that data is collected within the boundaries defined in this policy. This applies to data that is collected in person, or by completing a form.

When collecting data, SH Coaching Services Limited will ensure that the Individual:

  1. Clearly understands why the information is needed.
  2. Understands what it will be used for and what the consequences are should the Individual decide not to give consent to processing.
  3. Is, as far as reasonably practicable, competent enough to give consent and has given so freely without any duress.
  4. Has received sufficient information on why their data is needed and how it will be used.

  • Name and job title

I’m not going to ask you how you “feel", pay me to watch you argue, or try to find the person to blame.

I am looking to discover if the couple can become a team, overcome their problems together and create a dynamic that will create a loving and passionate life together.

My approach is to take you from where you are, to where you want to be… fast!

I can not recommend Stephen highly enough – he not only saved our marriage, but has improved my marriage and myself as a person.

A 30 minute call with Stephen

In a short phone conversation, Stephen was able to quickly get to the heart of what the real issue was in our marriage – and why in almost a year of working on our marriage including 10 weeks of marriage counselling through a relationship therapy organisation, we weren’t really making any progress. I found Stephen to be extremely perceptive, as well as empathetic to our situation, while being able to quickly pinpoint the real sticking point in our marriage.
Many thanks
Olivia

Dear Stephen
Thank you for your time to listen to my experience in my marriage. You gave me encouragement to speak out to my partner in confidence. You made me realise that sometimes the way we make comments on each other can aggravate the situation and make it worse. Your advice made me feel revived.

Kind regards

Chipo
