1. Information I Collect:

When you use this website, it may collect:

  • Personal information you provide: such as your name, email address, phone number, or any information you include in the contact form.

  • Technical information: such as your IP address, browser type, and how you interact with our site. Squarespace may also use cookies or similar technologies for site functionality and analytics.

2. How I Use Your Information

I use the information you provide to:

  • Communicate with you regarding scheduling, services, or other practice-related matters.

  • Improve my website and services.

I do not sell or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes.

3. Confidentiality & HIPAA

While my practice website contact form is intended for general inquiries, please do not submit sensitive health or treatment information through it. Once you become a client, your health information is protected under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). All clinical records are maintained in compliance with HIPAA and applicable state laws.

Depending on your location, you may have specific privacy rights:

  • Connecticut Residents: You may request access to the personal information I collect about you and ask that I delete or correct it, in accordance with the Connecticut Data Privacy Act (CTDPA).

  • South Carolina Residents: While South Carolina does not currently have a comprehensive consumer privacy law, I extend similar rights to South Carolina residents, including the ability to request access, correction, or deletion of your information.

To exercise these rights, contact me directly at brianashea@nested-within-you.com

5. Data Security

I take reasonable measures to protect the personal information submitted through my practice website. However, no method of electronic transmission is 100% secure. For your protection, avoid sharing highly sensitive information through the contact form.

6. Third-Party Services

My practice website is hosted by Squarespace, which may collect data as described in its own Squarespace Privacy Policy. I am not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party services.

7. Children’s Privacy

My practice website is not directed toward children under the age of 12, and I do not knowingly collect information from children.
