Who I am

I'm Maryam Taylor, an energetic bodywork practitioner based in London, offering in-person sessions in London and online somatic sessions worldwide. I'm responsible for the personal information you share with me. You can contact me at hello@maryamtaylor.com.

What I collect

• Booking details: your name and email address, and anything you choose to share when you book through Cal.com.
• Intake form: before your first paid session, I'll ask you to complete a short intake form using Google Forms. It asks about relevant health information, such as injuries, medical conditions or anything else I should know, and your preferences around touch, so I can keep you safe during bodywork.
• Messages: anything you send me by email.
• Session notes: I keep brief private notes after sessions to support our work together.

Why I collect it

• To arrange and manage your sessions, and to keep in touch about them.
• To keep you safe during bodywork. Because health and personal information is especially sensitive, I only collect it with your clear consent, which you give on the intake form. You can withdraw that consent at any time.

How it's kept

Your information is stored securely using Google (email, Meet and Forms) and Cal.com (bookings). Online sessions take place over Google Meet. Sessions are never recorded, whether in person or online.

How long I keep it

I keep your information for as long as we're working together, and for 7 years after your last session. After that, it's securely deleted.

Sharing

I never sell your information or share it with anyone else, except the services named above that make bookings and sessions possible, or if I'm required to by law.

Supervision

Like many practitioners, I have regular supervision with an experienced professional to support my work and make sure I'm working safely and well. I may discuss sessions with my supervisor, but always anonymously: I never share your name or anything that could identify you.

Confidentiality

Everything you share with me is kept confidential. The only exception is if I believe you or someone else is at serious risk of harm, or if I'm required to by law. If that ever happened, I would talk with you first wherever possible.

Safety when working alone

For my safety when working alone, I share my location with a trusted person during in-person sessions. They never know your name or anything about you or our session.

Your rights

You can ask me at any time to:

• see the information I hold about you
• correct anything that's wrong
• delete your information
• withdraw your consent to me holding your health information

Just email hello@maryamtaylor.com. If you're unhappy with how I've handled your information, you can contact the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk.
