1. Introduction

Your privacy matters to me. This Privacy Policy explains what data I collect via this Site and how I use it. By using this Site—including submitting forms or subscribing—you agree to this policy. 

Sharing information through the Site, does not establish a client-therapist relationship, hence it is not protected by confidentiality or client privilege. 

2. What Information I Collect

• Automatic Information: The Site may collect technical details (IP address, browser type, pages visited) to help maintain the Site and improve its functionality. This data is not linked to your identity. 

• Cookies: The Site may use simple cookies to improve user experience (e.g., remembering notification preferences). These cookies are not used for advertising or profiling. You can disable cookies, noting some Site features may not work fully. 

3. How I Use Your Information

4. Sharing Your Information

I will never sell your data. I may share information with trusted service providers (e.g., a newsletter platform) who are contractually bound to protect it. I may also disclose information when required by law or to prevent harm. 

5. Security and Data Retention

I use standard security (HTTPS) and limit access to information. While no system is perfect, I strive to safeguard your information. If a breach occurs, I will notify according to applicable laws. I retain data only as long as needed: contact messages until responded to, newsletter emails until unsubscribed or deleted, and minimal data retained to honor your unsubscribed status.
