This policy primarily covers information collected through the Website. Information collected offline or through direct client service engagements is subject to confidentiality clauses in our separate Client Agreement Form, though your rights under CCPA/CPRA may still apply.
2. Categories of Personal Information We Collect
In the past 12 months, we have collected, or may collect, the following categories of personal information as defined by the CCPA/CPRA:

Any health-related information relevant to client services would be discussed and handled under the confidentiality terms of the Client Agreement, not collected broadly via the website.
3. Sources of Personal Information
We collect personal information from the following sources:
Directly from you: When you voluntarily provide it by filling out forms (contact, newsletter signup), sending emails, or otherwise contacting us.
Automatically from your device: When you interact with our Website, using technologies like cookies, web beacons, and server logs provided by us or third-party service providers (e.g., website hosting, analytics).

5. Sharing and Disclosure of Personal Information
We do not "sell" personal information in the traditional sense (exchanging it for monetary value). Under the broad definitions of "sharing" in the CCPA/CPRA (which can include disclosing information for cross-context behavioral advertising), our use of certain third-party cookies for analytics or website functionality might be considered "sharing."

These providers are contractually obligated to use the information only for the services requested and protect its confidentiality.
Identifiers (e.g., Name, Email): Shared with Service Providers who manage our email communications or newsletter distribution if you have opted-in (e.g., email marketing platform).
We do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of consumers under 16 years of age.

7. How to Exercise Your Rights
To exercise your Right to Know, Delete, or Correct, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us by:

For requests submitted by an authorized agent, we may require proof of authorization.
We will respond to verifiable consumer requests within 45 days of receipt, extendable once by an additional 45 days when reasonably necessary, provided we inform you of the extension within the initial 45-day period.
8. Data Security
We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect the personal information we collect from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. However, no internet transmission or electronic storage is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

For example, website analytics data may be kept for [Specify timeframe, e.g., 26 months], while contact form submissions may be kept until the inquiry is resolved or longer if needed for record-keeping, subject to your deletion rights. We will delete information when it's no longer needed for its collected purpose or upon a verified deletion request, subject to legal exceptions.
