Privacy & Confidentiality

This coaching relationship, as well as all information (documented or verbal) that the Client shares with the Coach as part of this relationship, is bound by the principles of confidentiality set forth in the ICF Code of Ethics. However, please be aware that the Coach-Client relationship is not considered a legally confidential relationship (like the medical and legal professions) and thus communications are not subject to the protection of any legally recognized privilege.

The Coach agrees not to disclose any information pertaining to the Client without the Client’s written consent. The Coach will not disclose the Client’s name as a reference without the Client’s consent.

Confidential Information does not include information that: (a) was in the Coach’s possession prior to its being furnished by the Client; (b) is generally known to the public or in the Client’s industry; (c) is obtained by the Coach from a third party, without breach of any obligation to the Client; (d) is independently developed by the Coach without use of or reference to the Client’s confidential information; or (e) the Coach is required by statute, lawfully issued subpoena, or by court order to disclose; (f) is disclosed to the Coach and as a result of such disclosure the Coach reasonably believes there to be an imminent or likely risk of danger or harm to the Client or others; and (g) involves illegal activity. The Client also acknowledges his or her continuing obligation to raise any confidentiality questions or concerns with the Coach in a timely manner.

Release of Information (Optional, based upon specific situation)

The Coach engages in training and continuing education pursuing and/or maintaining ICF

(International Coach Federation) Credentials. That process requires the names and contact information of all Clients for possible verification by ICF. By signing this agreement, you agree to have only your name, contact information and start and end dates of coaching shared with ICF staff members and/or other parties involved in this process for the sole and necessary purpose of verifying the coaching relationship, no personal notes will be shared. According to the ethics of our profession, topics may be anonymously and hypothetically shared with other coaching professionals for training, supervision, mentoring, evaluation, and for coach professional development and/or consultation purposes.

ICF records statistics pertaining to the use of its online service. ICF uses these statistics to improve its service so that, for example, only relevant information is shown. ICF uses your IP address and cookie information for this purpose. ICF makes decisions based on automated processing through computer programs or systems without involving natural persons (e.g. ICF employees). ICF s use this system, among other measures, to ensure ICF’s accessibility and ability to coordinate communication with you personally. ICF uses the following external computer programs or systems: Google AdWords remarketing, Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel to display advertisements based on your browsing behavior.

Special and/or sensitive personal data that we process

The ICF website and/or service does not intend to collect data from website visitors under the age of 16, unless those visitors have permission from a parent or guardian. However, as ICF has no way of verifying a visitor’s age, it encourages parents to take an active interest in their children’s online activities to prevent the unauthorized collection of a minor’s personal data. If you believe ICF has collected a minor’s personal data without permission, please reach out to us via our contact form and we will delete the relevant information.

Sharing data with other companies and institutions

ICF shares your personal data with other companies and institutions only when this is necessary for it to provide services or if ICF is legally obliged to do so (e.g. if the police request said data in the event of suspected criminal activity).

ICF works with a number of partners who it may also share your personal data with, when this is necessary for ICF to provide the services for which you have signed up.

Cookies

ICF’s online service uses functional, analytical, and tracking cookies. Cookies are small files in which ICF stores information so that you don’t have to re-enter it every time you access our service. Please note that ICF’s use of cookies also means it is aware of every time you visit the ICF website.  Please refer to https://coachingfederation.org/policies for more detailed information.

ICF has agreements in place with other companies who place cookies. As ICF cannot control what those companies do with these cookies, we recommend reading their privacy statements.

Google Analytics

ICF uses Google Analytics to track how visitors use its online service.

Security

Personal data security is very important to ICF. ICF strives to maintain the security of your personal data, making adjustments where necessary and paying close attention to any risks. For example, ICF’s application uses a secure connection via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology, indicated by the padlock symbol in your browser’s address bar. ICF stores backups at an external location. ICF employees are explicitly instructed to maintain proper security on their electronic devices and to use secure login methods. ICF also carries  out penetration tests to detect any vulnerabilities.

Changes to this privacy statement

In the event of any changes to the ICF’s online service or to any relevant legislation, ICF must also adjust its privacy statement.
