Security Measures for Data Protection

At The Work Psychologists (TWP) we take the protection of your personal data seriously. We have implemented a range of technical and organizational security measures to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of your data in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

1. Secure Data Storage:

We store all client data securely on Google Drive, which provides robust security features and encryption to safeguard your information.

2. Email Communication:

When sharing documents or information via email, we ensure the highest level of security. We only send links to Google Drive documents or attachments that are password-protected, adding an extra layer of security to protect your data.

3. Laptop Security:

All of our associates' laptops are password protected. This ensures that unauthorized individuals cannot access sensitive client information in case of loss or theft.

4. Secure Record Keeping:

Any client-related notes or information are stored electronically on Google Drive or, if handwritten, are placed into a locked cabinet at the end of the day. This dual approach ensures that all client data is kept confidential and secure.

5. Regular Security Audits:

We conduct regular security audits and assessments to identify and address potential vulnerabilities, ensuring that our security measures remain effective and up-to-date.

6. Employee Training:

Our employees are trained on data protection best practices and are aware of their responsibilities in maintaining the security of client data.

7. Data Breach Response:

In the unlikely event of a data breach, we have established procedures to promptly identify, report, and mitigate any breach, as required by GDPR.

Your Rights:

Under GDPR, you have the right to access, rectify, erase, or restrict the processing of your personal data. If you have any questions or concerns about how we handle your data, please feel free to contact us.

By implementing these technical and organizational security measures, TWP is committed to ensuring the privacy and security of your personal data.
