The following describes the Privacy Policy of Insoul Psychologists Services for the management of client’s personal information. The psychological service provided is bound by the legal requirements of the Indian Privacy Principles.   Insoul Psychologists Services is the party collecting the information in this form. You can contact us at info@insoul.in or write to us at C-2, S.PACE, B-38, Scheme No. 54, Vijay Nagar, Indore-452010. As part of providing a psychological service your treating psychologist will need to collect and record personal information that is relevant to your current situation including your name, address, contact phone numbers, medical history and other personal information collected as part of providing the psychological service. This information will be a necessary part of the psychological assessment and treatment that is conducted. You do not have to give all your personal information, but if you do not, this may mean the psychological service may not be able to be provided to you. Clients may request to be anonymous or to use a pseudonym, unless it is impracticable for Insoul Psychologists Services to deal with the client or if Insoul Psychologists Services is required or authorised by law to deal with identified individuals.

A client’s personal information is gathered and used for the purpose of providing psychological services which include assessing, diagnosing, and treating a client’s presenting issue or preparing psychological reports. The personal information is retained in order to document what happens during sessions and to enable the psychologist to provide a relevant and informed psychological service.

A client’s personal information is collected in a number of ways before, during or after psychological consultation with Insoul Psychologists Services including: when the client provides information directly to Insoul Psychologists Services using hardcopy forms, correspondence via email or through BCP’s website; when the client interacts directly with their psychologist and BCP employees such as the receptionist; when other health practitioners provide personal information to Insoul Psychologists Services via referrals, correspondence and medical reports.

Client files are held in a secure filing cabinet and some documents are kept in electronic storage which is accessible only to authorised employees. It is possible that some of the information collected by Insoul Psychologists Services will be stored in systems that utilise data hosting facilities outside of India. You consent to your information being disclosed to a destination outside India for this purpose.

At any stage clients may request to see and correct the personal information about them kept on file. The psychologist may discuss the contents with them and/or give them a copy. If satisfied that personal information is inaccurate, out of date or incomplete, reasonable steps will be taken in the circumstances to ensure that this information is corrected. All requests by clients for access to or correction of personal information held about them should be lodged with Insoul Psychologists Services. These requests will be responded to in writing within 28 days, and an appointment will be made if necessary for clarification purposes.

Client’s personal information will not be disclosed except when:

1. It is subpoenaed by a court, or
2. Failure to disclose the information would in the reasonable belief of Insoul Psychologists Services place a client or another person at serious risk to life, health or safety; or
3. The client’s prior approval has been obtained to:
   a) provide a written report to another professional or agency. e.g. a GP or a lawyer; or
   b) discuss the material with another person, e.g. a parent, health provider or employer; or
   c) disclose the information in another way; or
4. Disclosure is otherwise required or authorised by law.

Client’s personal information will not be used, sold, rented or disclosed for any other purpose.
