1. Introduction

Stella Bispham Therapy (“I,” “me,” or “my”) respects your privacy and is committed to being transparent about how information is collected and used through this website.

This Privacy Policy explains how information may be collected, used, stored, and shared when you visit this website, submit a contact form, or interact with its content.

This policy applies to information collected through this public website. It does not replace any separate privacy notices, informed consent documents, or other agreements that apply to therapy services.

2. Information I Collect

Information You Provide

If you contact me through this website, by phone, or by email, I may collect information you voluntarily provide, such as your name, email address, phone number, and the contents of your message.

The website contact form may ask for your first and last name, email address, phone number, services of interest, how you heard about the practice, and what you are looking for support with in therapy.

Please keep your response to the contact form general. Do not include sensitive, personal, or detailed clinical information.

Contact Form Notice

The contact form includes the following notice:

“Tell me about what you're looking for support with in therapy.”

“This contact form is not a secure or emergency service. Please do not include sensitive, personal, or clinical information here.”

The contact form is intended for general inquiries and consultation requests. It is not a substitute for secure clinical communications or the client portal.

Submitting a message does not establish a therapist-client relationship, guarantee a response within a specific timeframe, or guarantee availability for services.

Information Collected Automatically

When you visit this website, certain information may be collected automatically by the website platform or its service providers. Depending on the settings and tools in use, this information may include your IP address, browser and device information, pages visited, referring website, and general website usage data.

3. Website Analytics and Search Tools

This website uses Squarespace Analytics and Google Search Console to help monitor website performance and understand how visitors find and interact with the site.

Squarespace Analytics may provide information about website traffic and visitor activity, such as page views, referral sources, and other usage statistics, depending on the features and settings enabled.

Google Search Console provides information about how the website appears in Google Search, including search impressions, clicks, search queries, and indexing performance.

These tools help me understand website performance and improve the information and resources available on the site. The information available through these tools varies by service and configuration.

This website may also use cookies or similar technologies through Squarespace or its integrated services. The technologies used and the information collected depend on the website's settings and features.

For more information about Google's data practices, please review Google's Privacy Policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy.

4. How Information Is Used

Information collected through this website may be used to:

• Respond to inquiries and consultation requests.

• Communicate with prospective clients about services.

• Understand which services visitors are interested in.

• Maintain, monitor, and improve the website.

• Understand general website traffic and visitor engagement.

• Protect the website from misuse, fraud, or security threats.

• Comply with applicable legal obligations.

Information submitted through the public website is not intended to serve as a clinical record or replace communications through the client portal.

5. How Information May Be Shared

Information may be processed by service providers that help operate this website or provide related services, including Squarespace and Google, depending on the tools and features enabled.

Information may also be disclosed when required by law or when reasonably necessary to protect legal rights, safety, or website security.

Other service providers may receive information if they are connected to the website, such as through email, scheduling, or embedded services. The providers and their roles should be confirmed based on the website's actual configuration.

This Privacy Policy does not guarantee that information is never shared or sold. Information is handled according to the actual practices of the website, its service providers, and applicable legal requirements.

6. Data Security and Retention

Reasonable measures may be used to protect information collected through the website. However, no website, online form, email, or electronic transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Information is retained for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, subject to applicable legal requirements and the retention practices of the service providers involved.

Clinical records are maintained separately in accordance with applicable clinical privacy practices, legal requirements, and record-retention policies.

7. Therapy Services and the Client Portal

Stella Bispham Therapy offers telehealth therapy services subject to eligibility requirements, professional licensing requirements, clinical appropriateness, informed consent, and applicable laws and regulations.

Clinical paperwork, scheduling, and other therapy-related processes may take place through a separate client portal.

The privacy practices applicable to therapy services and clinical records may differ from those applicable to this public website. Where required, separate privacy notices and clinical agreements will govern those services.

Please use the appropriate client portal or designated clinical communication method for sensitive information rather than the public website contact form.

8. Third-Party Websites

This website may contain links to third-party websites, including social media platforms, scheduling services, or other resources.

Those websites operate under their own privacy policies and terms. I do not control third-party websites and am not responsible for their independent privacy or security practices.

9. Your Privacy Choices and Rights

Depending on applicable law, you may have rights regarding personal information, including rights to access, correct, delete, or opt out of certain processing of your information.

To submit a privacy-related request or ask a question about this policy, please contact me using the information below. Requests will be reviewed and addressed as required by applicable law.

10. Children's Privacy

This website is intended for adults and is not directed toward children under 13. Please do not submit a child's personal information through this website unless doing so is appropriate and legally authorized.

11. Changes to This Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated periodically to reflect changes in website practices, technology, or legal requirements.

The updated version will be posted on this page with a revised effective or updated date, as appropriate.
