Who we are

GK Speech Therapy is a speech and language therapy practice run by Gaby Kaplan (HPCSA registration no. ST00006904, practice no. 0525472). We are the responsible party for your information under the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA).

This website

This website does not use cookies, analytics or tracking, and it has no forms. The fonts and images are served from this site itself, so visiting it doesn't share your details with other companies.

When you contact us

If you send a WhatsApp message or an email, we use your name, contact details and what you tell us only to reply, arrange an assessment and send you the intake form.

Your child's therapy records

Information about a child's health counts as special personal information under POPIA, so we treat it with extra care:

• We only collect what we need to provide therapy, report on progress and invoice you.
• Records are kept in a private, password-protected system that only the therapist can access, and stored on secure servers in the European Union.
• We only share information with others (for example a school, doctor or another therapist) with your consent, which you choose on the intake form.
• No audio or video is recorded during therapy activities.
• Invoices go to parents. Your medical aid only receives information if you choose to submit a claim.
• Records are kept for as long as the law and HPCSA guidelines require, and then securely deleted.

Your rights

You may ask to see the information we hold about you or your child, ask us to correct or delete it, or object to how it is used. Contact us using the details below and we'll respond as soon as we can.

If you're not happy with how we've handled your information, you can complain to the Information Regulator (South Africa) at inforegulator.org.za.
