It does not cover information you share during a therapy session, in the client portal, or through any other clinical channel — those are governed by our Notice of Privacy Practices under HIPAA. ## Information we collect We collect only what you choose to send us: - **Contact & booking forms.** Your name, email address, phone number, and any short message you write. Please don't include sensitive health details in these forms — use the secure client portal for anything clinical. - **Basic technical information.** Standard web-server and analytics data (device type, approximate location, pages visited) used to keep the site working and improve it. - **Cookies.** Small files stored in your browser for site functionality and anonymous analytics. You can disable cookies in your browser settings. ## How we use it - To reply to your inquiry and schedule a consultation. - To operate and improve this website. - To meet legal obligations when required. ## What we do not do - We do not sell your personal information. - We do not rent or trade your information with marketers. - We do not use website form submissions to create clinical records. ## Third-party services This site may use trusted third parties (such as a scheduling provider, form-delivery service, or web analytics) that process limited information on our behalf. Each provider is chosen to keep your data secure and to use it only for the purpose it was collected. ## Security We take reasonable steps to protect information submitted through this website. No internet transmission is 100% secure — again, please use the client portal for anything clinical or sensitive. ## Children This website is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children through this site. Clinical care for minors is arranged through a parent or guardian in our office. ## Your choices You can ask us to update or delete personal information you submitted through this site by emailing [support@growthguidancecounseling.com](mailto:support@growthguidancecounseling.com). Requests related to clinical records are handled under our Notice of Privacy Practices instead. ## Changes We may update this policy from time to time. The effective date at the top reflects the most recent revision. ## Contact Questions about this website policy?
