3. Contact Forms and Email
If you contact me through the Website or by email, I will use the information you provide to respond to your inquiry and communicate with you regarding services.
Please be aware that ordinary email and website contact forms may not provide the same level of privacy and security as a secure client communication or telehealth platform.
For your privacy, please avoid including detailed information about your mental health, sexual health, relationships, trauma history, diagnoses, medications, or other sensitive information in a website contact form or ordinary email.
Once you become a client, information collected and maintained as part of your clinical care is handled according to applicable professional, legal, and privacy requirements and any applicable Notice of Privacy Practices.
4. Cookies and Similar Technologies
The Website may use cookies and similar technologies to provide basic functionality, understand Website traffic, improve the Website, and support security.
You may be able to control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of portions of the Website.
If third-party analytics or advertising technologies are used on the Website, those services may collect information about your activity on the Website according to their own privacy policies.
5. Third-Party Services
The Website may use third-party services to provide hosting, scheduling, analytics, communications, forms, security, or other Website functionality.
These providers may process information on my behalf or collect information directly through their own technologies.
Third-party services are governed by their own privacy policies and terms. Claire Fink Therapy is not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party websites or services that are linked to or integrated with the Website.
Where appropriate, I seek to use service providers that maintain reasonable safeguards for information entrusted to them.
6. Social Media and External Websites
The Website may contain links to third-party websites or social media platforms, including social media profiles associated with Claire Fink Therapy.
If you follow a link to another website or platform, your activity is governed by that site's privacy policy and terms rather than this Privacy Policy.
Please keep in mind that communications through social media platforms are not intended for confidential therapeutic communication.

Information related to psychotherapy and clinical services may be subject to additional legal protections and is handled separately from ordinary Website information.
8. Data Security
I take reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect information collected through the Website against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.
However, no website, electronic communication, or method of transmitting information over the internet can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
If I become aware of a security incident affecting information for which I have legal notification obligations, I will provide any notifications required by applicable law.
9. Data Retention
I retain Website information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, to maintain business and Website records, to resolve disputes, to enforce agreements, and to comply with applicable legal obligations.
The retention of clinical records is governed by applicable professional and legal requirements and may differ from the retention of ordinary Website information.
