Privacy Policy
This policy explains what information Christopher Counseling ("we", "us") collects through this website, how we use it, and the choices you have. We keep it simple: we only collect what we need to answer you and run the site, and we never sell your personal information.
Information you give us
When you fill out a form on this site, we receive what you enter, such as your name, email address, phone number and your message. We use it to respond to you and to provide the service you asked about.
If you contact us directly, we receive your contact details and whatever you choose to share. You can reach us if you email terrycounseling@gmail.com or call (541) 301-8227.
Please do not send detailed health or clinical information through the website form or by email. Share that during a session instead. Records created as part of counseling services are kept confidential under the rules that apply to licensed counselors in Oregon, and you will receive information about those practices when you begin services. This website policy does not replace them.
Information collected automatically
Like most websites, our hosting provider automatically logs basic technical information when you visit, such as your IP address, browser type, the pages you view and the time of your visit. This is used to keep the site secure and working.
Cookies
Cookies are small files stored in your browser. This site uses a small amount of browser storage to remember your cookie choice. When you first visit, a notice lets you accept or decline optional cookies. You can change your choice at any time with the cookie settings link, or by clearing cookies in your browser.
Third-party services
Some parts of this site are provided by other companies. When your browser loads them, those companies may receive technical information such as your IP address, and they handle it under their own privacy policies:
- Google Fonts, which loads the typefaces used on this site
- Google Maps, which shows our location in an embedded map
How we use and share information
We use information to respond to inquiries, provide and schedule our services, operate and improve this website, keep it secure, and meet legal obligations. We share it only with service providers who help us run the business and website (such as our web host and email provider), when the law requires it, or with your permission. We do not sell or rent your personal information.
How long we keep it
We keep personal information only as long as we need it for the purposes above or as required by law, then delete it.
Your choices and rights
You can ask us to tell you what personal information we have about you, correct it, or delete it. You can also decline optional cookies at any time. Depending on where you live, including under Oregon law, you may have additional privacy rights. We will honor them as the law requires. To make a request, email terrycounseling@gmail.com or call (541) 301-8227.
Security
This site is served over an encrypted connection (HTTPS), and we take reasonable steps to protect the information you send us. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The effective date at the top shows when it last changed.
