- Other information you choose to provide.
Please avoid submitting detailed medical, mental health, diagnostic, or other highly sensitive information through general website contact forms, advertising forms, or social media.

2. Health Information and HIPAA
CARE Counseling Services LLC is a health care provider and maintains clinical information in accordance with applicable privacy and security requirements. Information associated with your treatment or health care may be subject to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (“HIPAA”), applicable state privacy laws, and other legal protections depending on the circumstances. CARE’s use and disclosure of protected health information associated with clinical care is governed by our Notice of Privacy Practices, which is separate from this Website Privacy Policy.

4. Cookies, Analytics, and Advertising
CARE may use cookies and other technologies that help us understand website activity and improve our website and outreach. We may use third-party services such as:
- Google Analytics;
- Google Ads;
- Meta platforms, including Facebook and Instagram; and
- Other website, analytics, communications, or advertising service providers.
These services may collect information about your device or interaction with our public website in accordance with their own privacy practices and the settings CARE has implemented. CARE does not intend to provide advertising or analytics companies with information from your clinical record for advertising purposes. You may be able to limit certain cookies or tracking technologies through your browser settings, device settings, cookie controls, or the privacy settings provided by the applicable third-party platform. Disabling certain technologies may affect some website functionality.
5. Third-Party Websites and Services
Our website may contain links to third-party websites, scheduling systems, client portals, payment systems, social media platforms, or other services that are operated by organizations outside CARE. When you leave the CARE website or interact directly with a third-party service, that organization’s privacy policy and terms may apply. CARE is not responsible for the privacy practices, security, content, or operation of websites or services that we do not control.
6. Communications
If you provide CARE with your phone number or email address, we may use that information to respond to your inquiry or communicate with you regarding services you requested. If you separately consent to receive marketing or informational communications, you may opt out of those communications at any time using the unsubscribe instructions provided or by contacting CARE. If text messaging is used, standard message and data rates may apply depending on your mobile carrier and plan. Please remember that ordinary email and SMS text messaging may not always provide the same level of privacy as CARE’s designated secure clinical systems. Avoid sending highly sensitive clinical information through general email or text unless specifically instructed otherwise.
7. Data Retention
CARE retains website and inquiry information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including:
- Responding to inquiries;
- Coordinating requested services;
- Maintaining appropriate business records;
- Protecting our systems; and
- Meeting applicable legal, regulatory, contractual, or operational requirements.
Clinical records are maintained separately in accordance with CARE’s record-retention requirements and applicable law.
8. Data Security
CARE uses administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect information under our control. However, no website, electronic transmission, email system, or method of electronic storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure. For that reason, we encourage you not to send highly sensitive health or financial information through general website forms, ordinary email, social media, or other unsecured communication methods.
9. Children and Minors
CARE provides mental health services to children and adolescents; however, our public website is intended primarily to provide general information about CARE and its services. Parents and legal guardians should provide information on behalf of minors when appropriate. CARE does not knowingly seek to collect personal information from children through advertising or general website marketing activities without appropriate parental or legal guardian involvement. Information associated with treatment of a minor is handled in accordance with applicable federal and state privacy laws and CARE’s Notice of Privacy Practices.
10. Your Privacy Choices
Depending on the type of information involved and applicable law, you may contact CARE to:
- Ask what personal information you have voluntarily submitted through our general website systems;
- Request correction of inaccurate general contact information;
- Request deletion of certain website or marketing information when CARE is not legally or operationally required to retain it;
- Unsubscribe from marketing communications; or
- Ask questions about this Website Privacy Policy.
Rights involving your clinical health record are governed separately by CARE’s Notice of Privacy Practices and applicable law.
11. Website Information Is Not Medical Advice
Information provided on the CARE website is intended for general educational and informational purposes. Website content is not a substitute for individualized medical or mental health evaluation, diagnosis, or treatment. Simply visiting the CARE website, reading its content, or submitting a general website inquiry does not by itself establish a therapist-client relationship.
12. Changes to This Privacy Policy
CARE may update this Website Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our website, technology, services, or legal requirements. When we make changes, we will update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page. We encourage visitors to review this Policy periodically.
