Privacy Policy
Effective May 2026
Alchemy Psychotherapy is committed to protecting the privacy of visitors to this website and clients who contact the practice. This Privacy Policy explains what information is collected when you use this website, how it is used, and your rights regarding that information.
Information collected on this website
When you visit this website, certain non-identifying technical information is collected automatically, including browser type, device type, pages visited, and time on site. This information is used only to understand how the site is being used and to improve its content. No personally identifiable information is collected during a standard site visit unless you submit a contact or appointment request form.
When you submit a contact form, the information you provide, including your name, email address, phone number, and any message content, is transmitted to the practice securely and retained only as long as necessary to respond to your inquiry or begin a clinical relationship.
In short, this website collects only the information necessary to respond to your inquiry and improve the experience of future visitors.
Clinical information and HIPAA
If you become a client of Alchemy Psychotherapy, your protected health information (PHI) is governed by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and the practice's Notice of Privacy Practices, which you will receive before treatment begins. Clinical information is not collected or stored through this website and is handled exclusively through a HIPAA-compliant client portal.
In short, clinical records are governed by HIPAA and the Notice of Privacy Practices, not by this general website privacy policy.
Cookies and analytics
This website uses cookies and similar technologies to understand how visitors use the site. No advertising cookies or third-party tracking pixels are used for advertising or marketing purposes. You can configure your browser to refuse cookies, though some site functionality may be affected. In short, cookies on this site are used only for basic analytics and site performance, never for advertising.
Third-party services
This website does not sell, rent, or share visitor information with third parties for advertising or marketing purposes. The practice uses Microsoft Clarity to understand visitor behavior in aggregate. No individually identifying data is shared with any third party.
Children's privacy
This website is not directed at children under the age of 13, and the practice does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through this website.
