Privacy Policy

Technology is rapidly evolving and I make effort to keep up with it as I work to ensure your privacy.

Privacy Policy

​

Your privacy matters to me. This page explains what information this website collects, what I do with it, and what I do not do with it. I have written it in plain language on purpose. If something is unclear, please ask.

This page covers the Stacy Smith Therapy website at stacysmiththerapy.com. It does not cover your care with me. Sessions and client records are handled under separate notices, described below.

Who I am

Stacy Smith Therapy is the website for Stacy Smith, LMFT, a solo therapist. I offer telehealth for adults in Texas and California.

​

What information this website collects

Information you send through the contact form. If you ask for a free consultation or ask a question, the form collects what you type. Currently that includes your name, email address, phone number, state, city, the subject you choose, your message and how you found this site. I use it to reply to you.

​

Basic visit information from the website platform. This site is built and hosted on Wix. When you visit a page, Wix may record basic information about the visit, such as the pages you view, the device and browser type, approximate location and session identifiers. The platform uses this to run the site, keep it working and measure how it performs.

​

The Psychology Today badge. This site shows a badge from Psychology Today. The badge is a small piece of code that comes from Psychology Today, not from me. When the page loads, the badge may connect to Psychology Today's servers. What Psychology Today collects is covered by its own privacy policy.

​

Links to other sites. This site links to social media profiles, reference pages and image credit pages. Those sites have their own privacy practices, and I do not control them.

​

What I do with this information

I use what you send through the contact form to reply to you and to set up a consultation. After you submit the form, Wix sends you an automatic reply. I reply to you personally within 48 hours.

Form submissions are kept in the contact records for this website on Wix. 

​

What I do not do

I do not sell information. I do not use these tools to follow you.

​

Cookies

Cookies are small files saved on your device when you visit a website. Some cookies keep a site working and secure. Others help the platform measure how a site is used.

This site may set a small number of cookies to keep things working.  I do not use these tools to follow you.

​

You can choose which cookies to allow. You can accept all of them, keep only the essential ones or choose which ones to allow. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Some parts of the site may not work as well if you block essential cookies.

Your choice about cookies does not affect how you can reach me or ask for a free consultation.

​

The contact form

Please keep the contact form to basic details, such as how to reach you and what you would like help with. Please do not send detailed health, medical or clinical information through the form. We can talk about those details once we connect.

​

Crisis and emergencies

This website and its contact form are not for emergencies. I reply within 48 hours, so the form cannot help you in a crisis.

If you are in crisis or thinking about harming yourself, call or text 988 to reach the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline. If you are in immediate danger, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.

​

Telehealth and client records

Sessions are by telehealth for adults in Texas and California. Information shared in sessions, and the records kept for clients, are handled under separate privacy notices and under my professional obligations as a therapist. This page does not replace those notices.

​

Who this website is for

I work only with adults, and this website is for adults. I do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If you believe someone under 18 has sent information through the contact form, please write to me. 

​

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights over the personal information a business holds about you. These can include the right to know what is held, to ask for a copy and to ask for it to be corrected or deleted. Visitors in California and Texas may have specific rights under state laws.

To ask about any of these, write to me at [privacy contact email]. I will respond.

​

Changes to this page

I may update this page when the way this website works changes. The date at the bottom shows when it was last updated.

​

How to reach me

Write to me at stacy@stacysmiththerapy.com, or use the contact page on this site. I reply personally within 48 hours.
