This Privacy Policy applies to information associated with your use of andrewplisner.com, including information you voluntarily provide through the website’s contact form.

You may choose to provide personal information when contacting Andrew Plisner Therapy & Consulting, LLC through this website.

Depending on how you contact the practice, this information may include:

• telephone number
• information you choose to include in a contact-form message
• information contained in an email or other communication you send directly

You are not required to provide personal information simply to browse the public content of this website.

Information voluntarily submitted through the website is used primarily to respond to your inquiry, communicate with you, and determine whether an initial consultation or another appropriate next step should be arranged.

Contact Form and Sensitive Information

The website contact form is intended for initial inquiries and general communication. For that reason, the contact form should not be treated as a secure clinical communication channel.

Please do not include highly sensitive clinical, medical, financial, or other confidential information in the contact form.

Submitting a contact form does not establish a therapist-client, supervisor-supervisee, consultant-client, or other professional relationship with Andrew Plisner Therapy & Consulting, LLC.

Information submitted through the form may travel through website-hosting, form-processing, security, and email systems before it is received.

For that reason, the contact form should not be treated as a secure clinical communication channel.

The website and contact form should also not be used for emergencies or urgent clinical needs.

How Information Is Used

Information collected through the website may be used to:

• respond to inquiries and requests for information
• coordinate consultations or other communications
• operate, maintain, troubleshoot, and secure the website
• prevent spam, fraud, abuse, or unauthorized activity
• understand general website usage and performance
• improve website content, functionality, accessibility, and user experience
• comply with applicable legal, regulatory, or professional obligations
• protect the rights, safety, and integrity of the practice, website visitors, or others

Personal information submitted through the contact form is not used to create advertising profiles or for unrelated mass marketing.

Andrew Plisner Therapy & Consulting, LLC does not sell the names, email addresses, telephone numbers, or messages voluntarily submitted through its contact form for monetary compensation.

Information Collected Automatically

Like most websites, andrewplisner.com and the technology providers that support it may automatically process certain technical information when you visit the site.

This may include information such as:

• Internet Protocol (IP) address
• browser type
• device type
• operating system
• referring website or page
• pages viewed
• approximate geographic region derived from an IP address
• date and time of access
• interactions with website features
• technical information used for security, troubleshooting, and performance

WordPress and related services may process some of this information as part of hosting, security, analytics, spam protection, or website functionality. Automattic’s documentation notes that WordPress.com and Jetpack services may process browser, device, IP-address, referral, interaction, and cookie information from visitors to user websites.

This technical information is generally used to operate and improve the website rather than to personally identify individual visitors.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

This website and its service providers may use cookies and similar technologies that support website functionality, security, performance, analytics, and visitor preferences.

A cookie is a small piece of information stored by a website or service in a visitor’s browser or device.

Cookies used in connection with WordPress or related services may include cookies that:

• enable basic website functionality
• support security or fraud prevention
• remember visitor or administrator preferences
• measure site traffic or performance
• help determine how visitors interact with pages

Automattic explains that WordPress and Jetpack can use required, analytics, performance, and other cookies depending upon the features enabled on a particular site.

You may be able to restrict, block, or delete cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect how some website features function.

Spam and Abuse Protection

The website may use automated security technologies to reduce spam, fraudulent submissions, and malicious activity.

For example, the contact form may be protected using Google reCAPTCHA or similar technology. reCAPTCHA evaluates technical and behavioral signals to distinguish legitimate visitors from automated or abusive activity. Google states that reCAPTCHA may process device, IP-address, interaction, and related security signals and may set a necessary _GRECAPTCHA cookie when executed.

Information processed through these services is subject to the terms and privacy practices applicable to those providers.

Website Hosting and Service Providers

Andrew Plisner Therapy & Consulting, LLC relies on third-party technology providers to operate this website and communicate with visitors.

These providers may process limited information as necessary to provide services such as:

• website hosting
• content delivery
• contact-form processing
• spam and security protection
• website performance monitoring
• analytics
• email delivery and communication
• website administration and maintenance

For example, WordPress-related services may process website visitor information on behalf of site owners as part of providing hosting and website functionality.

Email Communications

If you contact Andrew Plisner Therapy & Consulting, LLC by email or receive an email response to a website inquiry, your communication may be processed and stored through the email service providers used by the practice.

Standard email should not be assumed to be fully secure or appropriate for highly sensitive clinical information.

If a professional relationship is established, appropriate communication expectations and privacy practices will be addressed separately.

External Links

This website may contain links to third-party websites, professional directories, organizations, publications, training institutes, social or professional profiles, or other outside resources.

A link from andrewplisner.com does not mean that Andrew Plisner Therapy & Consulting, LLC controls the privacy practices of the linked website.

When you leave andrewplisner.com, the privacy policy and practices of the third-party website will apply.

Visitors are encouraged to review those policies when submitting personal information to an external service.

Professional and Clinical Information

Educational information published on andrewplisner.com is provided for general informational purposes and should not be interpreted as individualized clinical advice, diagnosis, treatment, or the establishment of a professional relationship.

If you become a client, supervisee, consultation client, or organizational consulting client, information exchanged in the course of that professional relationship may be governed by separate agreements, informed consent documentation, professional ethical obligations, confidentiality requirements, and applicable law.

This website Privacy Policy does not replace those documents or obligations.

Information Retention

Information may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including responding to an inquiry, maintaining appropriate business records, meeting professional or legal obligations, resolving disputes, maintaining website security, or preventing abuse.

The length of time information is retained may vary depending on:

• the nature of the information
• the reason it was collected
• whether a professional relationship was established
• contractual or professional requirements
• legal or regulatory obligations
• the retention practices of relevant technology providers

Information that is no longer reasonably necessary may be deleted, anonymized, or otherwise handled in accordance with applicable requirements and technical limitations.

Data Security

Reasonable administrative and technical measures are used to protect information associated with the website.

However, no website, contact form, email system, network transmission, or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Visitors should therefore use discretion when deciding what information to send electronically and should avoid transmitting highly sensitive information through the website contact form.

This website and the professional services described on it are not directed toward children through the website.

Andrew Plisner Therapy & Consulting, LLC does not knowingly use the website to solicit personal information directly from children.

If information is believed to have been submitted by a child through the website without appropriate authorization, a parent or legal guardian may contact the practice regarding the information.
