5. Who we share your data with

We do not sell, rent or trade your personal data. We share it only in the following limited circumstances:

Coaching supervision

As required by the EMCC Global Code of Ethics, Nordeya Gilbert receives regular coaching supervision. Your information may be discussed in supervision in fully anonymised form — your name and any identifying details will never be shared with the supervisor.

Payment processing

If payment is taken online, your payment details are processed by a third-party payment provider such as Stripe or PayPal. These providers are GDPR-compliant and we do not store card details directly.

Service providers we use

We use a small number of third-party services to run this website and practice. These providers only receive the data necessary to perform their function, and are bound by their own data protection obligations:

International data transfers

Some of the service providers listed above are based outside the UK, including in the United States. Where personal data is transferred outside the UK, we ensure an appropriate safeguard is in place, such as the UK International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA) or the provider's participation in a recognised data protection framework. You can contact us for more information about the specific safeguards that apply.

If required by law

We may be required to disclose personal data to comply with a legal obligation, court order, or to protect the vital interests of you or another person.

If your coaching is funded by your employer

If an organisation is funding your coaching, they will be informed that coaching sessions are taking place. The content of sessions is strictly confidential and will not be shared with your employer without your explicit written consent.


6. How we keep your data secure

No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure. While we take all reasonable steps to protect your data, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
