Privacy Policy
Effective date: February 19, 2026
Paper Moon Counseling ("we," "us") respects your privacy. This policy explains what personal information we collect through our website, how we use it, and how we protect it.
What We Collect
When you submit the contact form on our website, we collect the information you provide: your name, email address, phone number (if provided), preferred contact method, and the message you write about what brings you to counseling.
How We Use It
We use the information you provide solely to respond to your consultation request. Your contact form submission is sent directly to our business email via a secure email server. We do not store form submissions in a database or retain them beyond what is in our email inbox.
What We Don't Do
- We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties.
- We do not use cookies for tracking or advertising purposes.
- We do not use analytics tools that track your browsing behavior. (If this changes, we will update this policy.)
Important: This Contact Form Is Not a Secure Clinical Channel
The contact form on this website is not a HIPAA-secured communication channel. Please do not include sensitive medical details, diagnoses, or protected health information in your message. The form is intended for scheduling consultations and asking general questions. Once you become a client, all clinical communication will take place through secure, HIPAA-compliant channels.
Third-Party Services
Our website loads a verification badge script from Psychology Today (psychologytoday.com) to display our verified practitioner badge. This is the only third-party script on the site.
How We Protect Your Information
Contact form submissions are transmitted over an encrypted (HTTPS) connection and delivered via a secure email server. We take reasonable steps to protect the information you share with us.
