Building Strong Minds respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard information when you visit https://buildingstrongminds.com (the “Website”) or contact us through our online services.

1. Information We Collect

We may collect the following categories of information:

Information You Provide to Us

When you contact us or submit a form through our Website, we may collect:

Your name and contact information, including email address and phone number.
Information about your inquiry or interest in our therapy services.
Information you voluntarily include in messages or appointment requests.
Other information you choose to provide.

Please avoid submitting detailed medical histories, diagnoses, or other sensitive health information through general website forms or email unless specifically instructed to do so through an appropriate, secure channel.

Information Collected Automatically

When you visit our Website, certain technical information may be collected automatically, including your IP address, browser type, device information, pages viewed, and general Website usage data. Cookies and similar technologies may be used for Website functionality and analytics, depending on our configuration.

2. How We Use Your Information

We may use the information collected to:

Respond to questions and requests about our therapy services.
Follow up on appointment or consultation inquiries.
Communicate with prospective and existing clients.
Operate, maintain, and improve our Website.
Monitor Website performance and security.
Comply with applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

We do not use information for purposes incompatible with this Policy or otherwise prohibited by applicable law.

3. Therapy and Health Information

Information relating to therapy, mental health, diagnoses, treatment, or other health-related matters may be particularly sensitive.

Information submitted through the Website is not necessarily protected in the same manner as information collected through a formal clinical relationship or a secure patient portal. Please use designated secure communication channels for sensitive health information when available.

If Building Strong Minds is subject to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), protected health information will be handled in accordance with applicable HIPAA requirements and the organization's separate Notice of Privacy Practices, where required.

This Privacy Policy does not replace any separate privacy notice or legal disclosure applicable to clinical services.

4. Cookies and Analytics

Our Website may use cookies and similar technologies to support Website functionality, understand visitor activity, and improve the user experience.

You may manage cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect certain Website features.

If we use third-party analytics or advertising tools, those providers may collect information about your interaction with the Website. Because this is a therapy-related Website, tracking technologies must be configured carefully to avoid impermissible disclosure of sensitive health information.

5. How We Share Information

We may disclose information in the following circumstances:

Service providers: To vendors who support Website hosting, communications, scheduling, or other necessary business functions.
Legal obligations: When disclosure is required or permitted by applicable law.
Safety and security: When necessary and legally permitted to protect the rights, safety, or security of individuals or our organization.
Business transactions: In connection with a merger, restructuring, or transfer of business assets, subject to applicable legal requirements.

We do not sell personal information for monetary consideration. Any sharing of personal information will be subject to applicable privacy laws and restrictions.

6. Data Retention and Security

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Policy, meet legal or regulatory obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.

We use reasonable safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure. However, no electronic transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

7. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights to request access to, correction of, or deletion of certain personal information. You may also have the right to receive information about how your personal information is collected, used, or disclosed, or to opt out of certain types of data sharing where applicable.

California residents may have additional rights under applicable California privacy laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act, if those laws apply to our organization.

To submit a privacy request, please contact us using the information in Section 11. We may need to verify your identity before processing your request. Certain exceptions may apply, including requirements to retain clinical records.

8. Third-Party Websites

Our Website may contain links to third-party websites or services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those third parties. Please review their privacy policies before providing personal information.

9. Children's Privacy

Our Website is not intended to knowingly collect personal information directly from children through online forms without appropriate authorization or another lawful basis.

If our therapy services involve children or minors, information relating to those services will be handled in accordance with applicable privacy laws, consent requirements, and any additional protections that apply to clinical records.

If you believe a child has submitted personal information through our Website inappropriately, please contact us.

10. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our practices, Website features, or legal obligations. Updates will be posted on this page with a revised Effective Date.

We encourage you to review this Policy periodically.
