Privacy notice
Last updated: 14 October 2026
- This website doesn't use cookies.
- Messages you send are emailed straight to me. They aren't stored on the website.
- Visits are counted anonymously. Nobody can identify you from them.
- I never sell or share your information for marketing.
Your privacy matters, especially when you're reaching out about your wellbeing or your child's. This notice explains what information this website collects, why, and what your rights are.
Who I am
Sherrie Akoto Therapy is run by Sherrie Akoto, who is the data controller for the information you share through this website. You can contact me using the contact form.
What this website collects
The only personal information this website collects is what you choose to send through the contact form:
- your name and email address
- your phone number, if you add it
- who the therapy is for (yourself, your child or a young person you care for)
- anything you write in your message, which may include information about your health or wellbeing
How your information is used
I use your information only to reply to your enquiry and, if you'd like, to arrange a time to talk or book an appointment. I never sell or share it for marketing.
Because a message may include information about your health, I only process it with your explicit consent, which you give by ticking the box on the contact form. You can withdraw your consent at any time by sending me a message.
Cookies
This website doesn't set any cookies, so there's nothing to accept or turn off.
Website visits
To understand how the site is used, visits are counted with Umami, a privacy-friendly analytics tool that works without cookies. It records things like which pages are viewed, roughly where visitors come from (for example, a search engine) and the type of device, but it doesn't collect personal information and can't identify you. It also counts when the contact form is sent, but never what's written in it.
Services I use
A few trusted services help run this website:
- Cloudflare hosts the website and passes the contact form on.
- Resend delivers contact form messages to my inbox.
- Google (Gmail) is where I receive and keep emails.
- Umami counts website visits anonymously. It is run by WebCitadel, who built this website.
Where your information is kept
Your message is not saved on the website. It passes through Cloudflare and Resend on its way to my Gmail inbox, where it's kept. Visit counts are kept on a server in Germany. Some of these services may process data outside the UK; when they do, they use legal safeguards approved under UK data protection law.
How long I keep it
I keep enquiry emails only for as long as I need them to reply to you and arrange support. If you go on to have therapy with me, I will explain separately how your therapy records are kept.
Children and young people
If you're contacting me about a child or young person, please share only what you're comfortable with. I'll talk through anything more in person or on a call.
Your rights
Under UK data protection law, you have the right to:
- ask for a copy of the information I hold about you
- ask me to correct or delete it
- withdraw your consent
- object to or restrict how I use it
To use any of these rights, send me a message using the contact form.
Complaints
If you're unhappy with how your information has been handled, please contact me first. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.
Changes to this notice
If I change how this website handles your information, I'll update this page and the "Last updated" date at the top.
