If you become a client, payment may be arranged separately using a third-party payment provider or another agreed payment method. Third-party providers may include Stripe, PayPal, Cash App, Venmo, or an electronic check provider.

Those providers process payment information according to their own privacy policies, security practices, and terms.

These tools may collect information about visits, traffic sources, device characteristics, website interactions, calls, form submissions, and other conversion activity.

Google may use cookies and information received from websites that use its services to provide analytics, measure advertising performance, prevent fraud, and provide or improve its services.

We may introduce additional advertising or measurement technologies in the future, including the Meta Pixel, Google remarketing, or Meta remarketing. This Privacy Policy will be updated when material changes are made to our tracking or advertising practices.

Cookies

Cookies are small files stored on your device that help websites function, remember preferences, understand visitor behavior, and measure marketing performance.

This website may use:

• Essential cookies needed for website functionality and security
• Analytics cookies used to understand website activity
• Functional cookies used by embedded or third-party services
• Advertising or conversion cookies used to measure marketing results

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking cookies may affect certain website features or embedded services.

Where required by applicable law, nonessential cookies and tracking technologies will be managed through an appropriate consent mechanism.

Advertising and Remarketing

We may use Google Ads, Meta advertising, or similar platforms to promote content and services. We may also use conversion tracking to understand whether advertising produces inquiries or other actions.

We may introduce remarketing in the future. Remarketing allows advertising platforms to show relevant advertisements to people who previously visited a website.

Where required, advertising and remarketing technologies will be activated only after the appropriate consent has been obtained. Visitors may also manage personalized advertising through the applicable advertising platform’s settings.

Embedded Content and Third-Party Services

Pages on this website may contain or load content from third parties, including:

• YouTube videos
• Google Maps
• Scheduling calendars
• Social-media posts or widgets
• External forms

Embedded content may behave as though you visited the third party’s website directly. Those providers may collect information, use cookies, track interactions, or associate activity with an existing account you have with them.

Your interaction with embedded content is governed by the privacy policies and terms of the applicable third party.

Email Communications

If you request a resource, subscribe to an email list, book an appointment, or otherwise provide your email address, we may send you:

• The information or resource you requested
• Appointment confirmations and reminders
• Responses to your questions
• Follow-up messages related to your inquiry
• Relevant marketing or educational emails

You may unsubscribe from marketing emails using the unsubscribe link included in those messages. Unsubscribing from marketing emails will not prevent necessary transactional, appointment-related, or service-related communications.

Call Tracking and Telephone Communications

Phone numbers displayed on the website may use call-tracking technology to help identify the marketing source that produced a call. This may collect information such as the caller’s phone number, call time, call duration, and referring source.

Calls may be recorded only when appropriate notice is provided and when permitted by applicable law.

By providing your phone number, you authorize us to contact you regarding your inquiry, appointment, requested information, or existing business relationship. We will not treat the submission of a phone number as permission to send unrelated automated marketing messages where separate consent is legally required.

• Process forms
• Schedule appointments
• Deliver email communications
• Manage business records

• To enforce agreements or protect our rights
• As part of a merger, acquisition, restructuring, financing, or sale of business assets
• With your direction or consent

We do not sell personal information for direct monetary payment. However, some advertising or analytics disclosures may be treated as “sharing,” “targeted advertising,” or a “sale” under certain state privacy laws. Where those laws apply, eligible residents may have the right to opt out.

Affiliate Links

The website does not currently use affiliate links.

We may use affiliate links in the future. If that changes, qualifying links or content will include an appropriate disclosure explaining that we may receive compensation when someone makes a purchase through the link.

When information is no longer reasonably needed, we may delete, anonymize, or securely dispose of it.

Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards intended to protect personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, misuse, disclosure, or destruction.

No website, transmission method, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You submit information through the internet at your own risk.

Your Privacy Choices and Rights

Depending on where you live and which privacy laws apply, you may have the right to:

• Request access to personal information we maintain about you
