5. Counseling and Confidential Health Information

Information collected through general website browsing or merchandise purchases is different from information collected during counseling or other clinical services.

Counseling records and protected health information, when applicable, are governed by separate confidentiality requirements, including HIPAA and applicable state laws.

We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards designed to protect information processed through our website.

No internet-based system can guarantee absolute security.

Information is retained for periods reasonably necessary to fulfill business purposes, meet legal obligations, resolve disputes, and maintain required records, subject to applicable law.

You may contact us to request information about personal data associated with your website interactions, request corrections, or ask about deletion where permitted by law.

Certain records may need to be retained for legal, financial, security, or operational purposes.
