WEBSITE PRIVACY POLICY

SCOPE OF THIS POLICY

This privacy policy describes the treatment of information provided or collected on the websites or applications where this privacy policy is posted. I follow this privacy policy in accordance with applicable law in the places where I operate. This policy is separate from our HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices Policy; however, this policy refers to the HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices Policy as it relates to your health information.

Please keep in mind that when you provide information to me on a third-party site or platform (for example, via credit card vendor or through a patient portal), the information you provide may be separately collected by the third-party site or platform. The information I collect is covered by this privacy policy, and the information the third-party site or platform collects is subject to the third-party site or platform’s privacy practices. Privacy choices you have made on the third-party site or platform will not apply to our use of the information we have collected directly through our website. Please also keep in mind that my site or communications may contain links to other sites or applications not owned or controlled by me and I am not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites. I encourage you to be aware when you leave my sites or applications and to read the privacy policies of other sites that may collect your Personal Information. 

TYPES OF INFORMATION WE COLLECT

I collect Personal Information, including Personal Health Information, and I may use Personal Information to create a separate type of information, aggregate information which removes your identity and allows me to create statistical data. 

For example, I collect:

  • Registration information you provide when you create an account on my portal, such as your first name and surname, location of residence, gender, date of birth, email address, username, and password;

  • Transaction information you provide when you purchase a product or service from me, such as your postal address, telephone number, and payment information;

  • Information I obtain from a third party, such as a site or platform provider, about use of our applications on third-party platforms or devices.

HOW I COLLECT YOUR INFORMATION

I collect information you provide to me when you purchase products or services, register with me, or otherwise interact with me using one or more devices. You may provide information to me in a variety of ways, including by typing or speaking.

I collect information through a variety of technologies, such as application program interfaces, and Web beacons, including when you visit my sites. 

SHARING YOUR INFORMATION WITH OTHER ENTITIES

I will not share your Personal Information with a third party, except as required or permitted by law, and your Personal Health Information will not be shared with a third party, except as is described by our HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices Policy.

Please note that once I share your personal information with another company, the information received by the other company is controlled by that company and becomes subject to the other company’s privacy practices.

When companies perform services on my behalf, like credit card processing, package delivery, marketing and advertising, and customer service, they may receive your personal information; however, these companies are prohibited from using your personal information for purposes other than those requested by us or required by law; and

I may share your personal information with third parties in connection with a transaction, to enforce our Terms of Use or rules, to comply with legal process, or in other cases if I believe in good faith that disclosure is required by law.

YOUR CONTROLS AND CHOICES

I provide you the ability to exercise certain controls and choices regarding our collection, use and sharing of your information. You may contact me to exercise these options by calling 512-601-0681 or sending an email to hello@quinonescounseling.com. In accordance with applicable law, your controls and choices may include:

  • Correcting, updating, and deleting your Registration Information

  • Requesting access to the personal information I hold about you and that we amend it as stated in our HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices Policy

Please be aware that collection of certain personal information is mandatory because of the service I provide, but I will make that clear at the point of collection so that you can make an informed decision whether to participate through electronic means.

PRIVACY OF MINORS

I recognize the need to provide further privacy protections with respect to personal information I may collect from minors as it relates to the services provided. When I intend to collect personal information from minors, I take additional steps to protect their privacy, including:

  • Notifying Parents or guardians about our information practices with regard to minors, including the types of personal information I may collect from minors, the uses to which I may put that information, and whether and with whom I may share that information, only if such notification is required by law;

  • In accordance with applicable law, and my practices, obtaining consent from parents for the collection of personal information from their minors

  • Giving parents access or the ability to request access to personal information I have collected from their minors and the ability to request that the personal information be changed or deleted.

DATA SECURITY

The security, integrity, and confidentiality of your information is extremely important to me. I have implemented technical, administrative, and physical safeguards that are designed to protect information from unauthorized access, disclosure, use, and modification. I regularly review our security procedures to consider appropriate technology and methods as appropriate, or as required by law. Please be aware that, despite my best efforts, no security measures are perfect. If you believe that your information has been compromised, contact us immediately at 512-601-0681.

CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY

From time to time, I may change this privacy policy to accommodate new technologies, industry practices, regulatory requirements or for other purposes. I will provide notice to you if these changes are material and, where required by applicable law, I will obtain your consent. Notice may be by email to you at the last email address you provided us, by posting notice of such changes on our sites and applications, or by other means, consistent with applicable law.
