The Berkshire Psychology Service which offers Psychological Counselling and CBT Therapy in Reading, Berkshire, respects the privacy of its users and therefore treats personal information with the appropriate level of discretion and security. This policy outlines frequently asked questions relating to the information we gather and how we use it.
What information about me do you keep track of?
Berkshire Psychology Service only collects personally identifiable information from the visitors to our website on a voluntary basis. Personal information collected on a voluntary basis may include name, postal address, email address, company name and telephone number.
This information is collected if you request information from us, participate in a contest or sweepstakes, and sign up to join our email list or request some other service or information from us. The information collected is internally reviewed, used to improve the content of our website, notify our visitors of updates, and respond to visitor enquiries.
When the information has been reviewed, it is discarded or stored in our files. If we make material changes in the collection of personally identifiable information we will inform you by placing a notice on our site. Personal information received from any visitor will be used only for internal purposes and will not be sold or provided to third parties.
What other information do you store?

Do you release my information to others?
If Berkshire Psychology Service is sold, the information we have obtained from you through your voluntary participation in our site may transfer to the new owner as a part of the sale in order that the service being provided to you may continue. In that event, you will receive notice through our website of that change in control and practices, and we will make reasonable efforts to ensure that the purchaser honours any opt-out requests you might make.
Will you remove information about me if I change my mind?
