At Social Behavioural Health, we prioritise the privacy and confidentiality of every client. We are dedicated to protecting your personal information and ensuring that it is used only for its intended purpose, and is not shared or disclosed without explicit consent or legal requirement.

Prior to engagement in any activity, we will provide you with clear and comprehensive information about the purpose of data collection and the specific information we will collect. Your personal data will only be used for the disclosed purpose and retained for as long as necessary or as required by law.
