Privacy Policy

Last updated: 6 Jun 2025

At Dare Coaching, I care deeply about the trust you place in me — and that includes how I handle your personal information.

This privacy policy explains what data I collect, why I collect it, how I use it, and how I keep it safe. It also outlines your rights under the UK GDPR.

1. Who I Am

I’m Joanna Hunek, founder of Dare Coaching. I provide coaching, supervision, facilitation, and team development services to individuals and organisations. You can contact me at joanna@darecoaching.co.uk with any questions about this policy.

2. What Data I Collect

Depending on the nature of our work together, I may collect:

  • Name and contact details

  • Details shared during our work together (verbally or in writing)

  • Zoom session summaries (where applicable)

  • Diagnostic or assessment information (e.g., 360 feedback, Leadership Circle Profile)

  • Payment or invoicing information

3. How I Use Your Data

I only use your data for purposes directly related to our work, such as:

  • Communicating with you

  • Preparing for and delivering coaching or team sessions

  • Processing payments

  • Reflecting on our work (occasionally via Zoom AI summaries or anonymised supervision)

I don’t sell or share your data for marketing, and I don’t use it in any way that isn’t directly linked to supporting you.

4. How I Store and Protect Your Data

  • I use secure, password-protected systems for communication and document storage (e.g., email, Zoom, encrypted cloud storage).

  • Only I have access to your personal data unless I explicitly inform you otherwise.

  • Zoom’s AI-generated session summaries (if used) are stored securely and kept only for a limited period.

5. Group and Team Settings

In group or team coaching, I take great care to:

  • Set agreements around confidentiality at the start

  • Avoid sharing personal data across parties unless consent is given

  • Handle sensitive topics with integrity and discretion

If a session is recorded or involves diagnostic tools, this will be clearly agreed in advance.

6. How Long I Keep Your Data

  • Contact and invoicing information: retained for up to 7 years, in line with tax and legal obligations.

  • Zoom summaries or session materials (if used): kept for up to 12 months.

  • Other communications or shared documents (e.g., emails, prep notes, reflection forms): kept for up to 12 months after our work together ends, unless we agree otherwise.

You can request that I delete any data not legally required to be kept at any time.

7. Your Rights

Under data protection law, you have the right to:

  • Access a copy of your data

  • Ask for corrections or deletion

  • Object to how it’s used

  • Withdraw consent at any time

  • Lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) at www.ico.org.uk

8. Changes to This Policy

I may update this policy occasionally. When I do, I’ll update the date at the top of this page.

9. Questions or Requests?
