Your privacy matters to me. I understand that when you visit my website, subscribe to my newsletter, purchase a product, or schedule a private session, you're placing a measure of trust in me. I take that trust seriously. This Privacy Policy explains what information may be collected, how it is used, and how I work to protect it.
Information I Collect
I collect personal information that you voluntarily provide when you contact me, subscribe to my newsletter, schedule an appointment, or purchase a service. Depending on how you interact with my website, this information may include your name, email address, appointment details, and information you choose to share in a message or booking form. My website and the services connected to it may also collect technical information, such as your IP address, browser type, device information, and website usage data.
How Your Information Is Used
Information collected through my website may be used to respond to inquiries, schedule and provide sessions, process payments, send appointment confirmations and reminders, deliver newsletters you have requested, and maintain the operation and security of the website. I do not sell your personal information. I do not use information shared during private sessions to create public content without permission.
Newsletter Subscriptions
My email newsletter is managed through Kit, an email marketing service. When you subscribe, the information you provide, such as your name and email address, is processed by Kit so I can send you occasional updates, insights, announcements, and information about my work. You may unsubscribe at any time by using the unsubscribe link included in newsletter emails. You may also contact me directly if you would like assistance with your subscription.
Appointment Scheduling
Appointments are scheduled through Calendly. When you book a session, Calendly may collect information such as your name, email address, selected appointment time, and any additional information requested during scheduling. Calendly may also send appointment confirmations and reminders. Please refer to Calendly's privacy policy for details about how it processes information.
Payments
Payments for sessions may be processed through Stripe or another designated payment provider. The payment processor handles payment information in accordance with its own security procedures and privacy policy. I do not receive or store your complete payment card information through my website. I may receive transaction details needed to confirm payments, provide services, and maintain business records.
Online Sessions
Private sessions may take place through Zoom or another agreed-upon communication service. These providers may process information necessary to connect participants and operate their platforms. I do not record private sessions without informing participants and obtaining any consent required by applicable law.
Confidentiality of Private Sessions
I respect the personal nature of conversations shared during private sessions. I do not knowingly publish or publicly disclose identifiable information from a private session without permission, except when disclosure is required by law or otherwise legally permitted. If you permit me to share a testimonial or experience, I may omit identifying details to protect your privacy. Please understand that no online communication or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Cookies and Website Technology
My website is hosted through Hostinger and may use cookies or similar technologies necessary for website functionality, security, performance, and embedded third-party services. Some connected services may use their own cookies or tracking technologies. Where required by applicable law, visitors will be given appropriate information and choices regarding nonessential cookies.
You can also manage certain cookie preferences through your browser settings.
Third-Party Websites and Services
My website may contain links to outside websites, including book retailers, video platforms, scheduling services, and other resources. These websites operate independently and may have their own privacy policies. I encourage you to review those policies before providing personal information.
How Long Information Is Kept
I retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to provide services, maintain business records, comply with applicable legal obligations, resolve disputes, or fulfill the purposes described in this policy. Newsletter subscribers may unsubscribe at any time. Certain information may be retained where required for legal, accounting, or administrative purposes.
Your Privacy Choices and Rights
You may contact me to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information I maintain about you, subject to applicable laws and legitimate recordkeeping requirements. California residents and individuals in other jurisdictions may have additional privacy rights under applicable law. I will review privacy requests and respond as required by law.
Children's Privacy
This website and my private sessions are intended for adults aged 18 and older. I do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13 through this website. If I become aware that such information has been collected, I will take appropriate steps to address it.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy may be updated to reflect changes in my website, services, technology, or legal requirements. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised date.
