When you interact with this Website, you may voluntarily provide personal information such as your name, email address, phone number, or any other information you choose to submit through contact forms or email communication. In addition, certain non-identifying information may be collected automatically through standard technologies, including your IP address, browser type, pages visited, and general usage patterns.

The information collected may be used to respond to inquiries, communicate with you regarding services, operate and maintain the Website, and improve user experience. Inkling Counseling does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties.

It is important to understand that communication through this Website, including contact forms and email, is not guaranteed to be secure or confidential. Submitting information through the Website does not establish a therapist-client relationship, and information shared may not be protected under HIPAA unless and until you have formally established care and appropriate consent has been completed. If you are an existing client, you should use agreed-upon secure methods of communication.

We may utilize third-party services to support the operation of this Website, including hosting providers, scheduling platforms, and analytics tools. These third parties may have access to limited information necessary to perform their functions but are not permitted to use it for other purposes. Inkling Counseling is not responsible for the privacy practices of these third-party providers.

This Website may use cookies or similar technologies to enhance user experience and analyze traffic. Cookies are small data files stored on your device that help improve functionality. You may choose to disable cookies through your browser settings, although doing so may affect your experience on the Website.

We take reasonable measures to protect the information you provide; however, no method of transmission over the internet can be guaranteed to be completely secure. By using this Website, you acknowledge and accept these limitations.

We may disclose information when required to comply with legal obligations, enforce our policies, or protect the rights, safety, or property of Inkling Counseling or others.

This Website is not intended for children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
