Privacy Policy
How Altitude Counselling collects, uses and protects your personal information, and the choices you have. Last updated September 2026.
Who we are
Altitude Counselling is a counselling and psychotherapy practice at Level 1, 110 Remuera Road, Remuera, Auckland 1050, run by Mohan Herath. We are the agency responsible for the personal information described here under the Privacy Act 2020.
What we collect
When you use the enquiry form on this site we collect the name, email address, phone number and message you choose to give us. If you become a client, the clinical information we hold about you (session notes, goal plans and correspondence) is covered by our Client Services Agreement, which you receive before your first session.
Why we collect it
Enquiry details are used only to respond to you and, if you go ahead, to arrange your first appointment. We do not use them for marketing and we do not sell or share them with anyone else.
Where it goes and how long we keep it
An enquiry sent through this site is delivered to us as an email; it is not stored on the website. Enquiry emails are kept for as long as is reasonably needed to respond and to arrange care, then deleted. Clinical records are stored in a secure cloud-based system and in lockable cupboards on our premises, with access restricted to authorised personnel, as set out in the Client Services Agreement.
Cookies and analytics
This site does not use advertising cookies or third-party analytics. The only technical cookies are those set by our hosting provider to keep the site secure and available.
Your rights
You may ask to see the personal information we hold about you and to have it corrected. Email mohan@altitude.org.nz or write to us at the address above and we will respond within 20 working days. If you are not satisfied with how we have handled your information you can complain to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner at privacy.org.nz.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, the new version will be published here with an updated date.
