I respect your privacy and want to be transparent about how information is collected and used when you visit drsarahporter.com.

This Privacy Policy applies to information collected through this website and related online services. It does not replace the privacy notices or informed-consent documents that apply to therapy or other clinical services.

Information You Choose to Provide

You may voluntarily provide personal information when you:

• submit a contact or inquiry form

• schedule a discovery call

• request or download a resource

• sign up for email communications

• contact me directly

Depending on the interaction, this information may include your name, email address, organization, phone number, and any information you choose to include in a message or form.

Please do not submit confidential health or clinical information through general website forms or email.

Information Collected Automatically

Like most websites, this site may collect limited technical information about visits to the site, such as browser, network, or device information; pages viewed; referring websites; IP address; and general usage information.

This website is hosted by Squarespace. Squarespace uses cookies that are necessary for the website to function and may use additional analytics or performance cookies when a visitor consents to them. Non-essential cookies are restricted unless accepted through the cookie banner.

Squarespace Activity Log is disabled, so I do not use that feature to collect or view individual visitors’ IP addresses or similar visitor-level activity data. Squarespace identifies disabling Activity Log as one way site owners can limit the collection of visitor personal information.

Cookies

Cookies are small files that websites use to support functionality, remember preferences, and understand how visitors use a site.

This website uses necessary cookies required for basic website functions. Non-essential cookies, including certain analytics and performance cookies, are restricted unless you choose to accept them.

When you visit the site, you can:

• accept all cookies

• decline non-essential cookies

• manage your cookie preferences

You can change your browser settings or cookie preferences at any time.

How I Use Information

Information collected through this website may be used to:

• respond to inquiries

• schedule and follow up on conversations

• provide requested resources

• send communications you have chosen to receive

• understand how visitors use the website

• improve website content, functionality, and user experience

• maintain the security and operation of the site

I do not sell or rent personal information.

Third-Party Services

I use third-party services to operate parts of this website and business. These providers may process information on my behalf as needed to provide their services.

Current providers include:

Squarespace
Squarespace hosts this website and provides website functionality, forms, cookies, and analytics tools.

Cal.com
Cal.com is used to schedule discovery calls. When you book a meeting, Cal.com may process information such as your name, email address, meeting details, and information you provide in booking questions. For bookings made through a Cal.com account, Cal.com describes the account holder as the controller of booking data and Cal.com as the processor acting on the account holder’s behalf.

These services maintain their own privacy practices and policies.

Additional service providers may be added in the future, such as an email newsletter platform. This Privacy Policy will be updated as appropriate if the way personal information is collected or processed materially changes.

Email Communications

If you choose to subscribe to future email communications, your contact information will be used to send the communications you requested.

You will be able to unsubscribe at any time using the unsubscribe link included in those emails.

How Information Is Shared

I may share information with service providers when necessary to operate the website, schedule meetings, deliver requested resources, or provide other services you have requested.

I may also disclose information if required by law, legal process, or a valid governmental request, or when reasonably necessary to protect the security, rights, or safety of this website, my business, or others.

I do not sell personal information.

Data Retention

I retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, to maintain appropriate business records, or to meet applicable legal or professional obligations.

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and the service through which it was collected.

Third-party providers may maintain information according to their own retention practices. For example, Cal.com states that account and booking data are generally retained while an account is active and then deleted according to its standard deletion process, subject to limited legal, backup, and security-record exceptions.

Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live and applicable law, you may have rights regarding your personal information, including the right to request access, correction, or deletion; withdraw consent; or object to certain uses of your information. You may contact me to:

• ask what personal information I hold about you

• request correction of inaccurate information

• request deletion of information

• withdraw consent for future communications

• ask questions about how your information is used

Some requests may be subject to legal, contractual, clinical, or recordkeeping requirements. I may need to verify your identity before completing certain requests.

Security

I take reasonable steps to protect personal information and use reputable service providers to support website and business operations.

However, no website, internet transmission, or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Clinical and Therapy Information

This Privacy Policy applies to the general website and related business inquiries.

Therapy and other clinical services are subject to separate privacy practices, professional requirements, and informed-consent documentation. General website forms, discovery-call forms, and ordinary email should not be used to communicate sensitive clinical or health information.

Please see Client Rights & Notices for information related to clinical services.

Children’s Privacy

This website is not directed to children, and I do not knowingly collect personal information from children through this website. If you believe a child has provided personal information through this site, please contact me so I can address the request appropriately.

Links to Other Websites

This website may contain links to third-party websites or services. I am not responsible for the privacy practices, security, availability, or content of those external sites.

I encourage visitors to review the privacy policies of any third-party services they use.

Changes to This Policy

I may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes to the website, service providers, business practices, or applicable requirements.

The “Last updated” date at the top of this page indicates the most recent revision.
