How we look after your information

Last updated: 14 November 2026

This notice explains what information The Mental Help Movement collects through this website, how we use it, and your rights. We keep it short and plain on purpose. If anything is unclear, email us at michael@thementalhelpmovement.com.

Who we are

The Mental Help Movement is a mental health awareness, education and training initiative based in Belfast, Northern Ireland, founded by Michael McMurtry. We are responsible for the personal information you share with us through this website.

What we collect

We only collect information you choose to send us:

• Through the contact form: your name, email address, organisation or group (if you give one), what you're interested in, and your message.
• If you email or call us directly: your contact details and whatever you include in your message.

Please don't include personal health details in your message. If you do share them, we'll only use them to reply to you, and we won't keep them longer than we need to.

How we use it

• To reply to your enquiry.
• To arrange and deliver training or community sessions you've asked about.
• To keep a record of our conversation, so we can follow up properly.

We don't use your information for marketing unless you've asked us to, and we never sell or share it for anyone else's marketing.

Our legal basis

We use your information because we have a legitimate interest in responding to people who contact us. If you go on to book training with us, we use it to take steps towards, and carry out, that agreement.

Who else handles it

Messages sent through the contact form are processed by our website hosting and form provider, Netlify, Inc., and then delivered to our email inbox. Netlify is based in the United States, so your message may be stored outside the UK, with safeguards in place as required by UK data protection law. Netlify only handles your information to provide its service to us.

How long we keep it

We keep enquiries for up to 12 months after our last contact with you, unless you become a client, in which case we keep records for as long as we need them to deliver and account for our work. You can ask us to delete your information sooner.

Cookies

This website doesn't use cookies, analytics or any tracking. Our fonts and images are hosted on the site itself, so visiting it doesn't send your information to third parties such as Google. Like most websites, our hosting provider may keep standard server logs (including IP addresses) for a short time for security and to keep the site running.

Your rights

You have the right to:

• ask for a copy of the information we hold about you
• ask us to correct anything that's wrong
• ask us to delete your information
• object to, or ask us to limit, how we use it

To make a request, email michael@thementalhelpmovement.com. We'll respond within one month.

Making a complaint

If you're unhappy with how we've handled your information, please tell us first so we can put it right. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint or on 0303 123 1113.
