This Privacy Policy describes how Amy McCoy, RCSWI ("I," "me," or "my") collects, uses, and protects information from visitors to this website (the "Site"). This policy applies only to this website and not to any third-party sites you may reach through links here, or to any electronic health record, client portal, or billing system used once you become a client.

Information I Collect

I collect information in the following ways:

• Information you provide directly: If you use the contact form on this Site, I collect the name, email address, and any message content you choose to submit.
• Automatically collected information: Like most websites, this Site may automatically receive standard technical information (such as your general location, browser type, and IP address) through normal web server operation and through fonts loaded from Google Fonts.
• Scheduling information: If you click the "Schedule" link on this Site, you will be taken to Progress Counseling Group's scheduling page, which is operated by a third party and governed by its own privacy practices, not this one.

How I Use Your Information

Information submitted through the contact form is used solely to respond to your inquiry and to communicate with you about potential or ongoing therapy services. I do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes.

Cookies & Third-Party Services

This Site does not use advertising or tracking cookies, and it does not run analytics software. This Site does load fonts from Google Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com), which may receive your IP address as a normal part of delivering those fonts. The contact form on this Site is processed through Netlify's form-handling service, which receives the information you submit through that form in order to deliver it to me.

Sharing of Information

I do not share the information you submit through this Site with third parties except as described above (the service providers that host and operate this Site), or as required by law.

A Note on Sensitive Health Information

Please do not use the contact form to share detailed health information, including information about a mental health crisis. The contact form is not a secure or confidential method of communication and is intended only for general inquiries and scheduling. If you are experiencing a mental health emergency, please call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline) or call 911.

Data Retention & Security

I retain contact form submissions only as long as necessary to respond to your inquiry or as required by applicable professional or legal recordkeeping obligations. I take reasonable steps to protect information submitted through this Site, but no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure.

Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or request deletion of personal information collected through this Site. To make such a request, please use the contact information below.

Children's Privacy

This Site is not directed to children under 13, and I do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through this Site.

Links to Other Websites

This Site contains links to third-party websites, including Life Reins, Inc. and Progress Counseling Group. I am not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those third-party sites.

Changes to This Policy

I may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with a revised effective date.
