Some of the information you provide to me may be considered sensitive personal data which includes information about the data subjects’,  physical or mental health.

You may also wish to provide me with sensitive information affecting the data subject’s ability to participate in a class or event (this may be about a person’s health for example).

Every effort has been made to ensure a safe and secure email submission process, but I advise users using such forms that they do so at their own risk.

This does not include website hosting partners and other parties who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or serving my users, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential. It also does not include institutions which require attendance registers for courses, events, training held at their premises or which use their facilities. We may also release information when it’s release is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce our site policies, or protect ours or others’ rights, property or safety.

Communication, engagement and actions taken through external social media platforms that this website and its owners participate on are subject to the terms and conditions as well as the privacy policies held with each social media platform respectively.

Users are advised to use social media platforms wisely and communicate/engage upon them with due care and caution in regard to their own privacy and personal details.
