Emotionally Centered Psychcare ("we," "us," or "our") respects the privacy of individuals who visit our website, submit inquiries, request appointments, or communicate with our practice.
This Privacy Policy explains the types of information we may collect through our website and related communication channels, how that information may be used or disclosed, and the choices available to you.
By using our website, you acknowledge the information practices described in this policy. Where consent is required by applicable law, we will request that consent separately.
Depending on how you interact with our website and practice, we may collect the following categories of information.
When you visit our website, certain technical information may be collected automatically, including your browser type, device information, IP address, pages visited, referral source, and general website interaction data.
Information collected as part of your clinical care, including psychiatric evaluations, medical history, treatment information, and medication records, may be subject to additional protections under applicable healthcare privacy laws.
Please do not submit sensitive medical information through general website contact forms unless specifically instructed to use an appropriate secure communication channel.
We may use information collected through our website and communication services for legitimate practice operations, including:
We do not use website contact information for unrelated promotional SMS messaging without obtaining any consent required by applicable law.
We may disclose information to service providers that assist with operating our website, managing inquiries, supporting scheduling, delivering communications, or maintaining business systems.
Such providers may include website hosting services, customer relationship management systems, scheduling platforms, and communication service providers.
Information may also be disclosed when required by law, to respond to valid legal processes, or to protect the rights, security, and operations of the practice.
Mobile Information Privacy: No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Text messaging originator opt-in data and consent will not be shared with any third parties, except service providers supporting the delivery of the text messaging service.
Any sharing of protected health information is governed by applicable healthcare privacy requirements and the practice's Notice of Privacy Practices.
Emotionally Centered Psychcare may offer SMS text messaging for individuals who choose to receive communications from our practice.
Depending on the services you request and the consent you provide, messages may include responses to inquiries, appointment scheduling information, appointment confirmations, reminders, and related administrative updates.
When you voluntarily provide your mobile telephone number and affirmatively opt in to SMS communications, you authorize Emotionally Centered Psychcare to send text messages related to the categories of communication described at the point of consent.
Consent to receive text messages is not a condition of purchasing services or receiving care.
Message frequency varies based on your inquiries, appointment activity, and communication needs. Message and data rates may apply depending on your wireless carrier and plan.
You may opt out of SMS communications at any time by replying STOP to a message. After opting out, you may receive a final confirmation message.
For assistance with text messaging, reply HELP, call (719) 881-8058 , or email [email protected] .
Mobile numbers, SMS opt-in records, and text messaging consent information are not sold or shared with third parties or affiliates for their marketing or promotional purposes.
SMS consent records may be processed by authorized communication service providers as necessary to operate the messaging program.
Standard SMS text messaging may not provide the same privacy protections as a secure patient communication portal. Please avoid sending sensitive medical details, emergency information, or confidential clinical records through ordinary text messages.
Text messaging is not monitored as an emergency service. If you are experiencing a medical or mental health emergency, call 911 or seek immediate emergency care.
