Privacy Policy
Last updated: [Month Day, Year]
This Privacy Policy describes how Courtney Anne Pierce, MA ("Courtney," "we," "us") collects, uses, and protects information when you visit this website or reach out through the contact form.
Information We Collect
When you submit the contact form, we collect the information you choose to provide, which may include your name, email address, message, time zone or country, how you found this practice, and any background on previous therapy or reading you share. We do not require you to submit sensitive health information through this form, and we encourage you not to include details you consider highly sensitive in an initial inquiry.
Like most websites, this site may also collect standard technical information automatically — such as browser type, device type, and general usage patterns — through our hosting provider (Shopify) and any analytics tools in use.
How We Use Your Information
- To respond to your inquiry and, if applicable, schedule an initial conversation
- To maintain records related to our professional relationship, where one is established
- To improve and maintain this website
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes.
Confidentiality
Once a therapeutic or coaching relationship is established, information shared in sessions is held in confidence in accordance with applicable professional and legal standards. Messages sent through this website's contact form, however, are transmitted like standard email and are not a substitute for a secure clinical record system — please avoid sending highly sensitive information through the contact form itself.
Cookies & Analytics
This site may use cookies and similar technologies, including those provided by Shopify, to support basic site functionality and to understand how visitors use the site. You can control cookies through your browser settings.
Third-Party Service Providers
This website is hosted on Shopify, and contact form submissions are processed through Shopify's platform. These providers may process data on our behalf in accordance with their own privacy policies.
Data Retention
We retain contact form submissions and related correspondence for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to your inquiry and, where a professional relationship is established, in accordance with applicable recordkeeping requirements for the profession.
Your Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or request deletion of your personal information. To make a request, please reach out using the contact page.
Children's Privacy
This website is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
