Your personal information is used only for the purposes for which it was collected, including:
We will not use your information for marketing purposes, sell it to third parties, or share it without your explicit consent, except as required by law.
Everything discussed within counselling sessions is strictly confidential. As a CCPA-registered counsellor, Dave Dyck adheres to the CCPA Code of Ethics regarding client confidentiality.
Limits of confidentiality: There are specific situations where confidentiality may be legally required to be broken, including: (1) where there is imminent risk of serious harm to yourself or another identifiable person; (2) where abuse or neglect of a child or vulnerable adult is suspected; or (3) where a court order compels disclosure. These limits will be clearly explained at the beginning of your first session.
Your personal information is stored securely and protected against unauthorized access, disclosure, or misuse. We take reasonable physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of the information.
Client records are retained for a minimum of 7 years following the end of the therapeutic relationship, as required under BC professional standards. Records related to minors are retained until the individual reaches age 25, or for 7 years after the last session, whichever is longer.
Virtual counselling sessions are conducted using secure, encrypted video platforms. Clients are responsible for ensuring they are in a private location during virtual sessions to protect their own confidentiality.
We recommend that clients do not participate in sessions from shared or public spaces. Session recordings are never made without your explicit written consent.
