PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING PRIVACY POLICY & TERMS OF USE CAREFULLY.

The information provided in or through this Website is for educational and informational purposes only and solely as a self-help tool for your own use. This program is a journey into the self. Therefore clients are fully responsible for their actions, decisions, and behaviors, during, between and after taking on this course. 

This educational self-directed therapy program is not intended to replace professional and/or medical advice. It does not intend to provide any diagnosis. 

Although Clear Minds Institute have made every effort to ensure that the information in this course was correct at press time, Clear Minds Institute do not assume and hereby disclaim any liability to any party for any loss, damage, or disruption caused by errors or omissions, whether such errors or omissions result from negligence, accident, or any other cause.

Clients are responsible for the maintenance and protection of their own computer and for regularly updating their security software. Clients are responsible for making the necessary arrangements to ensure confidentiality from their end during the course and afterward where computers may be shared.

Limited Personal data is required for our records and will be stored securely and may not be released to a third party except under court order.

Clients accept that there are limits to confidentiality. While information received from the client is treated with the strictest confidence, this may cease should the client disclose criminal activity, child sexual abuse, or material which leads Clear Minds Institute to believe that the client poses a threat to the safety of themselves or others or where the safety of a minor is threatened. 

In all instances where it may be necessary to break confidentiality, the client will be informed prior to any action being taken. 

All records and data relating to the course program remain the property of the Clear Minds Institute and no part of any content may be used by any other party for publication in any form, or use in study without the written consent of Clear Minds Institute.

The contract of engagement in this course is subject to acceptance by the client that the terms of use and the confidentiality and security policy have been accepted and understood. 

By accepting the terms of use clients permanently agree to release and indemnify Clear Minds Institute from all actions, suits, lawsuits, and claims originating from the information provided by Clear Minds Institute. 

Clear Minds Institute accepts no responsibility for the client’s telephone or computer systems, nor any technical difficulties occurring in connection with this site.

Clear Minds Institute complies with their obligations under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) by keeping personal data up to date; by storing (and destroying it) securely; by not collecting or retaining excessive amounts of data; by protecting personal data from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, and disclosure and by ensuring that appropriate technical measures are in place to protect personal data. 

We use your personal data for the following purposes

To deliver the services that clients have requested; 

To contact those clients as necessary in accordance with the services they have requested;

To contact clients via surveys to ascertain their opinions on the service they received from us;

To maintain our own accounts and records.

N.B. In the event that our recorded data is utilized for research purposes, our own supervision or for the instruction or tuition of students, all such data will be sufficiently anonymized to the extent that individual clients cannot be identified. Should a client indicate that their data should not be used for these purposes, we would refrain from using that data. 

Individual client data will never be passed to a third party without the express consent of the respective client, always provided that such confidentiality is neither inconsistent with the safety of the client, the client’s family members or other members of the public, nor in contravention of any legal action or legal requirement.

In accordance with our need to maintain the possibility of access to client data as a result of returning clients or those who may wish to lodge a complaint in respect of our services to either our professional body or our insurers (i.e. in all cases perhaps after a long period of time has elapsed), we retain client data for a minimum period of 7 years.
