Your Privacy Matters to Me
At Mellow Me, I’m committed to protecting your privacy and handling your personal information with care. This notice explains how I collect, use, and safeguard your data in accordance with UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.
What Information I Collect
As a professional Reiki practitioner, I need to maintain confidential records of our work together. This includes:
- Your name and contact details
- Relevant health information and personal history that you choose to share
- Session notes and treatment records
All information you provide is treated as strictly confidential and will only be shared in exceptional circumstances: with your explicit consent, when required by law, or if I have genuine concerns about your safety or wellbeing.
Special Arrangements for Young People
If you are under 16 years old, I will need written consent from your parent or guardian before we begin. I’ll also keep their contact details for consent purposes and emergencies.
How I Use Your Information
Your information helps me:
- Provide you with safe, effective Reiki treatments
- Reflect on our sessions to offer you the best possible care
- Meet my professional obligations as a registered practitioner
I will never use your personal details for marketing, sharing with third parties, or any purpose other than your Reiki care without your explicit consent.

You also have the right to:
- Ask me to correct any inaccurate information
- Request that I delete your data (subject to professional record-keeping requirements)
