Website Privacy Policy
Effective date: November 2026 · Last updated: 11/12/2026, Year
This policy explains how SW Holistic Therapy ("we," "I," or "us") handles information collected through swholistictherapy.com (the "Website"). It applies to visitors and to people who contact us or request a consultation through the Website.
If you become a client, the clinical information you share in therapy is protected by HIPAA and California law, as described in our Notice of Privacy Practices. That notice, not this policy, governs your health records.
Information We Collect
Information you choose to give us. When you request a consultation, register for an info session, or email us, we collect what you provide, such as your name, email address, and phone number. Please don't include details about your health or symptoms in website forms or email. We'll talk about those privately during your consultation.
Information collected automatically. Like most websites, ours automatically collects limited technical information, including:
- Your browser type and device type
- Your approximate location, at city or region level, based on your IP address
- The pages you visit and how you arrived at the Website
This is collected through cookies and similar technologies, described below.
How We Use Information
- To respond to your inquiry and schedule a consultation or info session
- To send information you asked for. We send newsletters only if you subscribe, and you can unsubscribe at any time.
- To understand how the Website is used and improve it
- To keep the Website secure and comply with legal obligations
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it with third parties for their own advertising.
Cookies and Analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand overall website traffic, such as which pages are visited and how people find us. We've configured it to avoid collecting form entries, and we don't use it to identify individual visitors. Google may process this information under its own privacy policy. You can opt out with Google's browser add-on or by blocking cookies in your browser.
Our Website is hosted by Squarespace, which uses essential cookies so the site works correctly. You can manage cookies through the cookie banner on our site or in your browser settings.
Scheduling, Forms, and Third-Party Services
Consultation booking and info-session registration are handled by [booking platform], a service that has agreed to protect information under a HIPAA Business Associate Agreement. Telehealth sessions take place on [telehealth platform]. These providers process information only to provide their services to us.
Our Website links to other sites, such as Psychology Today and social media profiles. We aren't responsible for those sites' privacy practices.
Do Not Track
Some browsers send a "Do Not Track" signal. Because there isn't yet a common standard for responding to these signals, our Website does not currently change its behavior in response to them. You can still limit tracking by blocking cookies or using the opt-out tools above.
Email and Text Communication
Standard email and text messaging aren't fully secure. If you contact us this way, please keep messages brief and avoid sharing clinical details. We'll move sensitive conversations to secure channels.
Children
Our services are for adults 18 and older. We don't knowingly collect information from anyone under 18 through the Website.
Data Security and Retention
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect information. We keep inquiry information only as long as needed to respond and for legitimate business or legal purposes. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure.
Your Choices and Rights
You can ask us to access, correct, or delete personal information you've submitted through the Website, or to stop contacting you, by emailing savannah@swholistictherapy.com. California residents can also request information about how we share personal information. We'll respond within a reasonable time and as required by law.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy. We'll post the new version here with an updated "Last updated" date. If we make significant changes, we'll highlight them on the Website.
