Website Privacy Policy

Effective date: July 28, 2025
Last reviewed: February 25, 2025

Thank you for visiting You Got This Therapy. This policy explains how I collect, use, and protect information when you visit this website.

This privacy policy applies to your use of the website only. If you begin therapy services with me, you'll receive a separate HIPAA Privacy Notice that describes how your personal health information is handled.


What I Collect (and Why)

I use secure, privacy-compliant services to run this website and manage email communication.

When you use this website, I may collect

  • Basic technical info – such as your browser type, device type, and the pages you visit

  • Your name, email, and message – only if you submit a contact form

This information helps me maintain the site, respond to your messages, and understand what’s working on the website. It is not linked to your therapy file and is not shared or sold.


Cookies & Tracking

This website uses simple cookies to keep it running smoothly. These may help track page traffic or remember if you've seen a popup. I use Squarespace’s built-in analytics, which shows general trends (e.g., number of visits, most-viewed pages)—not personal identities.

I do not use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or advertising trackers.

You can disable cookies in your browser settings if you prefer.


Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live (such as in Minnesota, California, or the European Union), you may have certain rights regarding the personal data collected through websites.

These rights may include

  • The right to know what data is collected

  • The right to request a copy of your data

  • The right to request correction or deletion of your data

  • The right to limit or opt out of data use (where applicable)

You Got This Therapy honors these rights as part of ethical data practices, even if not legally required to do so.


Want to See or Remove Your Info?

If you’ve submitted a contact form and would like to see or delete that message, reach out and I’ll be glad to assist.

Changes to This Policy

This policy may be updated if

  • Laws change (such as Minnesota’s MCDPA, effective July 31, 2025)

  • I start using new tools on the website

  • I change how contact forms or traffic data are handled

If I make significant updates, I’ll post the new version on this page with the effective date clearly shown.


A Note About Therapy Privacy

If you begin services with me, your personal information becomes Protected Health Information (PHI) and is handled under strict HIPAA rules. You’ll receive a separate HIPAA Privacy Practices document as part of your intake paperwork.
