Health Information and the Scope of This Policy

Prasad Counseling and Training is a health care provider. This Privacy Policy applies only to the Website. It does not govern Your health records or Your treatment.

Information about Your care, and information You provide to Us once You become a client or patient, is protected separately under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and applicable state confidentiality law. This Privacy Policy does not describe or limit those protections.

The Website is a public marketing website. It is not a patient portal, a medical record system, or a secure method of communication. Please do not include detailed clinical, diagnostic, medical, or other sensitive health information in a contact form, appointment request, or email You send through the Website. Share only what We need in order to reach You and schedule an initial conversation.

Anything You submit through the Website travels over the internet and may be handled by the Service Providers described in this Policy. We treat inquiries submitted through the Website as confidential to the extent required by applicable law. We do not sell them and We do not use them for advertising.

Collecting and Using Your Personal Data

Personal Data You Provide

We may ask You to provide information that can be used to contact or identify You. This may include Your name, email address, phone number, mailing address, and anything You choose to include in a message or inquiry. What We collect depends on how You interact with the Website and which features You use.

Usage Data

Usage Data is collected automatically when You visit the Website.

It may include Your Device’s Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser type and version, the pages You visit, the date and time of Your visit, the time spent on those pages, unique device identifiers, and other diagnostic data.

When You access the Website from a mobile device, We may also collect the type of device, its operating system, the type of mobile browser You use, and similar diagnostic information.

Tracking Technologies and Cookies

We use Cookies and similar technologies to operate the Website and to understand how it is used. Cookies can be Persistent or Session Cookies. Persistent Cookies remain on Your Device after You go offline; Session Cookies are deleted as soon as You close Your browser.

The categories We use:

Strictly Necessary Cookies

Type: Session Cookies
Administered by: Us
Purpose: Required for the Website to function. These enable core features and help prevent fraudulent use.

Functionality Cookies

Type: Persistent Cookies
Administered by: Us
Purpose: Remember choices You make, such as language or display preferences, so You do not have to set them again.

Analytics Cookies

Type: Persistent Cookies
Administered by: Third parties (Google)
Purpose: Help Us understand how visitors find and use the Website in aggregate, so We can improve it. See the Google Analytics section below.

If a cookie consent banner is in use on the Website, We also set a Persistent Cookie to remember Your cookie preferences so We do not ask again on every visit.

You can instruct Your browser to refuse Cookies or to notify You when one is being sent. If You refuse Cookies, some parts of the Website may not work correctly.

We may also use web beacons (small electronic files, also called clear gifs or pixel tags) in certain pages or emails, which let Us count visitors or measure whether an email was opened.

Google Analytics

This Website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC (“Google”). Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies to help Us understand how visitors use the Website, including which pages are viewed, how long visitors stay, and how they found the Website.

We use this information only to measure Website performance and improve the experience We offer. We do not use Google Analytics to identify individual visitors, and We do not use it for advertising or remarketing.

For information on how Google uses data from sites that use its services, see https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites. If You prefer not to be measured by Google Analytics, You can install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control

Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” setting. There is no common industry standard for how websites should respond to it, and this Website does not currently respond to Do Not Track signals.

Some browsers and extensions send a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal, which communicates a request to opt out of the sale or sharing of Personal Data. As described below, We do not sell Personal Data and We do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. Where applicable law requires Us to honor a GPC signal, We do.

Third-Party Services

We use third-party services to operate the Website. Depending on which features are in use, these may include website hosting and content management, appointment scheduling or practice management software, contact form and email delivery services, and website analytics.

These services may collect or process information on Our behalf and have their own privacy policies governing how they handle it. We encourage You to review the privacy policy of any third-party service You use through the Website, including any scheduling system or client portal You are directed to.

How We Use Your Personal Data

We use Personal Data to:

Operate, maintain, and improve the Website.
Respond to Your inquiries, questions, and requests.
Contact You about scheduling, appointments, or the services You asked about.
Send administrative information, such as changes to Our terms or policies.
Understand how the Website is used, in aggregate, so We can improve it.
Comply with legal obligations, and establish or defend legal claims.
Complete a merger, acquisition, or transfer of the practice, in which case Personal Data may be among the assets transferred.

How We Disclose Your Personal Data

We may disclose Personal Data:

To Service Providers, so they can perform services on Our behalf, such as hosting the Website, delivering email, providing scheduling software, or analyzing Website use. They are permitted to use the information only to provide those services to Us.
To comply with the law, including in response to a valid subpoena, court order, or government request, or where disclosure is necessary to protect Our rights or the safety of any person.
In connection with a business transfer, such as a merger, acquisition, or sale of practice assets.
With Your consent, for any other purpose You approve.

We do not disclose Personal Data to advertisers or data brokers.

Retention of Your Personal Data

We keep Personal Data only as long as We have a reason to. How long that is depends on the type of information and why We have it:

Inquiries and messages sent through the Website are kept for as long as needed to respond to You and to maintain a record of Our correspondence.
Usage Data and analytics data are kept according to the retention settings of the analytics tools described in this Privacy Policy, which are configured to retain data for a limited period rather than indefinitely.
Information that becomes part of a client or patient record is kept for the period required by the record-retention laws and professional requirements that apply to Our practice.

We may keep information longer where a law, regulation, or potential legal claim requires it.

If You would like to know whether We still hold information about You, or would like Us to delete it, please contact Us using the information at the end of this Privacy Policy.

Sale and Sharing of Personal Data

We do not sell Your Personal Data, and We do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. We do not exchange Personal Data with third parties for money or for other valuable consideration.

We share information with Service Providers only as described above, so they can help Us operate the Website and respond to You.

Your Privacy Rights

Your California Privacy Rights (CCPA/CPRA)

If You are a California resident, and to the extent California law applies to Us, You may have the right to:

Know what Personal Data We collect, use, and disclose, and to obtain a copy of it.
Delete the Personal Data We have collected from You.
Correct inaccurate Personal Data.
Opt out of the sale or sharing of Your Personal Data.
Limit Our use and disclosure of sensitive Personal Data.
Not be discriminated against for exercising any of these rights.

Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information: We do not sell Your Personal Data and We do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising, so there is nothing to opt out of. If that ever changes, We will update this Privacy Policy and provide a way to opt out.

We use cookies and analytics tools, including Google Analytics, to understand how visitors use the Website. You can control cookies through Your browser settings, and You can opt out of Google Analytics using the browser add-on at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Consumer Health Data (Washington, Nevada, and Similar Laws)

Some states, including Washington and Nevada, regulate “consumer health data” collected outside of HIPAA. That can include information suggesting a person has sought or received health care services.

If You are a resident of one of those states, You may have the right to confirm whether We collect, share, or sell Your consumer health data and to access it; to obtain a list of any third parties We have shared or sold it to; to withdraw Your consent to its collection and sharing; and to request that We delete it.

We do not sell consumer health data, and We do not collect or share it for advertising purposes. We collect the information You voluntarily submit through the Website in order to respond to You and, where a treatment relationship is established, to provide care.

Other State Privacy Rights

Several other states, including Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Texas, Oregon, and Montana, give residents rights over their Personal Data. Depending on where You live, these may include the right to access, correct, delete, or obtain a portable copy of Your Personal Data, and the right to opt out of targeted advertising, the sale of Personal Data, or certain automated profiling.

Most of these laws treat information about a person’s mental or physical health as sensitive data, which We collect only when You choose to provide it.

How to Exercise Your Rights

To make a request, contact Us at https://prasadcounseling.com/contact/ or (281) 948-3322. We may need to verify Your identity before We can act, and We will respond within the time required by applicable law. You may use an authorized agent to submit a request on Your behalf.

If We deny Your request, You may appeal by replying to Our decision by going to our https://prasadcounseling.com/contact/ and explaining why You believe it should be reconsidered. We will respond to the appeal in writing within the time required by applicable law. If We deny the appeal, You may contact Your state attorney general.

Text Messaging

If You provide Your mobile phone number and agree to receive text messages from Us, We may use it to send appointment reminders and scheduling or administrative messages. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. You can opt out at any time by replying STOP, and You can get help by replying HELP.

We do not sell, rent, or share mobile phone numbers or text messaging consent with third parties or affiliates for their marketing purposes. Mobile information is shared only with the Service Providers that help Us deliver those messages, and We do not permit them to use it for any other purpose.

Children’s Privacy

The Website is intended to be used by adults. We do not knowingly collect Personal Data directly from a child under 13 through the Website without the consent of a parent or legal guardian. If You believe that has happened, please contact Us at https://prasadcounseling.com/contact/ and We will delete it.

Where We provide services to a minor, information about that minor is collected with the involvement of a parent or legal guardian, and its use is governed by HIPAA and applicable state law rather than by this Privacy Policy.

We do not sell or share the Personal Data of anyone under 16.

Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical measures to protect the information We collect. No method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure, however, so We cannot guarantee absolute security.

As noted above, the Website is not a secure channel for sensitive health information. Please do not send clinical detail through it.

Visitors Outside the United States

The Website is intended for residents of the United States. If You access it from outside the United States, Your information will be processed in the United States, where privacy laws may differ from those in Your country.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When We do, We will post the updated version on this page and revise the “Last updated” date at the top. We may also provide more prominent notice on the Website if the change is significant.

We encourage You to review this Privacy Policy periodically.
