Services of interest, such as a speech and language evaluation, speech therapy, or a consultation
Because our services involve children's speech and language development, you may be tempted to share personal or health-related information about your child. Please avoid including detailed medical histories, diagnoses, treatment records, or other sensitive health information in the website contact form.
We may also automatically collect limited technical information when you visit our website, such as your IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, and general website usage data, depending on the website tools and services in use.

3. Children's Privacy
Our website is intended for parents, guardians, and adults seeking information about pediatric speech and language therapy services. It is not intended for children to submit personal information independently.
We ask that parents and guardians submit inquiries on behalf of their children. We do not knowingly use this website to solicit personal information directly from children.
If you believe a child has submitted personal information through our website without appropriate parental involvement, please contact us so we can review the matter and take appropriate action.
Information relating to a child's health or development may receive additional protections under applicable privacy laws.
4. Sharing of Information
We do not sell personal information in exchange for money.
We may share information with trusted service providers when reasonably necessary to operate our website, receive and respond to inquiries, maintain communications, or provide requested services. These providers may include website hosting companies, contact form platforms, email providers, and website analytics services, if used.
We may also disclose information when required by law, to comply with legal obligations, to protect our rights, or when otherwise permitted by applicable law.
We do not authorize service providers to use personal information for purposes beyond those permitted by our arrangements with them and applicable law.

6. Data Security
We take reasonable steps appropriate to our business and the information we handle to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or disclosure.
However, no website, electronic transmission, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. We cannot guarantee the absolute security of information submitted through the internet.
For this reason, please do not submit sensitive medical information through the website contact form.
7. Third-Party Websites and Services

Information submitted through this website's general contact form should not be considered a secure method for transmitting confidential medical information.
If you become a client, additional privacy and confidentiality practices may apply to information collected in connection with evaluations, treatment, clinical documentation, and other professional services.
Where applicable, we will handle protected health information in accordance with relevant legal and professional requirements, including HIPAA when applicable.
Please contact us to learn about appropriate methods for sharing sensitive information related to your child's care.
9. Your Privacy Rights
Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights concerning your personal information, including the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of certain information.
California residents may have additional privacy rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended, if the law applies to our business and the information in question is covered. These rights may include rights to know, access, correct, or delete certain personal information, as well as rights concerning the sale or sharing of personal information.
Certain exceptions may apply, including where information must be retained to comply with legal obligations or where other laws govern the information.
