Privacy Policy

Information you choose to share

If you contact us by email, you may choose to share your name, contact information, and any other information you include in your message.

Please do not send sensitive medical or highly confidential information through ordinary email. Email is not an encrypted channel and is not suitable for transmitting protected health information.

Information not intentionally collected

This website is not designed to intentionally collect personal information from visitors through web forms, account creation, or uploads. There is no newsletter signup, comment system, or advertising tracker on this site.

Automatically collected technical data

Like most websites, our hosting provider may automatically receive limited technical information when you visit — such as your IP address, browser type, device information, and basic request logs. This is used to operate, secure, and troubleshoot the website.

Our content delivery and security provider may process visitor IP addresses, request metadata, and related technical data under its own privacy practices.

Third-party services

If you click a link to send an email, your email provider will handle that communication under their own privacy practices. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of any third-party service you interact with after leaving this site.

If you schedule through a booking or practice-management service linked from this site, that service's own privacy practices apply to the information you provide there.

AI search and automated crawlers

This website is accessible to AI-powered search systems such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google Gemini, and similar tools. These systems may index, cache, and summarize publicly available content from this site — including page text and images — as part of their services. Content surfaced by these systems is subject to each provider's own privacy and data practices.

Cookies and analytics

This website does not intentionally use analytics tools, advertising pixels, or cookies for marketing purposes.

How information is used

Information you choose to share by email may be used to respond to your inquiry, communicate about services, or determine whether an initial consultation is appropriate.

Information sharing

Information submitted by email is not sold. We do not sell or share personal information as defined by the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA). Information may be shared only when reasonably necessary to operate the practice, comply with legal obligations, protect safety, or work with service providers that support website hosting or communications.

Legal basis for processing

When you contact us, we process your information based on your consent and our legitimate interest in responding to your inquiry and providing information about our services.

Your rights

If you have shared information with us and wish to request access, correction, or deletion of that information, please contact us using the details below. We will respond in a reasonable timeframe. You also have the right to withdraw consent or object to processing at any time by contacting us directly.

Data retention

Email messages and related records may be retained for administrative, legal, security, or practice-management purposes for as long as reasonably necessary.

Security

We take reasonable precautions to protect information you share with us. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of information transmitted by email.

Children's privacy

This website is not directed at individuals under the age of 18, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from minors through it. If you believe a minor has submitted personal information through this site, please contact us so we can address it promptly.

Your choices

If you prefer not to share sensitive details electronically, keep your initial outreach brief — just enough for us to respond and arrange a consultation, where we can talk directly.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review it periodically.
