Privacy Policy
This page is about the website: what it collects while you read it, where that goes, and how to stop it. It is written plainly on purpose. It is not the practice's Notice of Privacy Practices, which covers your care rather than this site.
When you send the consultation form
The form collects your name, your email address, the state you're in, and anything else you choose to add — an insurance provider, and whatever you write in the box about what you're hoping for. All of it goes into the practice-management system Evolve Counseling uses to reply to you and keep track of the conversation. What you type is not used for anything else, and it is not sold.
The form also runs a Cloudflare anti-spam check, which looks at how your browser behaves to tell a person from a bot.
What this website measures while you read it
Every page carries a small analytics script. It is not Google Analytics and it is not an advertising tool. It records:
- the address and title of each page you open, the site that sent you here, and any campaign tags in the link you clicked
- your browser window size, your time zone, and the kind of device and browser you're using
- how far down each page you scroll, how long the page is open, how long it is actually in front of you, and roughly how that time is spread down the page
- every click: where on the page you clicked, the visible label of the thing you clicked, and where the link went — including whether you tapped a phone number or an outside link
- when you first type into the form and when you send it. Not what you typed
- clicking the same thing three times quickly, which usually means something is broken
- text you copy from the page, up to the first 120 characters of whatever you had selected
- roughly where you are — country, region and city, as the network you're on reports it
Your IP address is not stored. It is turned into a one-way code, mixed with a secret that changes every day, so the same visitor cannot be matched from one day to the next or across different sites.
Session recordings
About one visit in four is recorded as a replay of the page. Whether your visit is one of them is decided once, at random, when you arrive, so a visit is either recorded from start to finish or not at all. Recording starts only after you first click, type or scroll.
A recording plays back like a video of the page, rebuilt from what the page looked like and what happened on it: your mouse moving, what you clicked, how you scrolled, what opened and closed.
Anything you type into a field is hidden before the recording leaves your browser — including everything in the consultation form.
What a recording does not hide is the page itself. The words on the page are part of the recording, so which pages you read, how long you stayed on them, and any text you selected are all visible to whoever plays it back. On a site like this one, that means a recording can show that someone spent time reading about a particular subject.
Recordings are deleted 30 days after the visit.
What this website does not do
- These pages set no cookies, and the analytics stores nothing on your device that outlives the browser tab. The one exception is the Cloudflare anti-spam check on the contact form, which is Cloudflare's own service and may use its own storage to tell a person from a bot.
- It runs no advertising or marketing scripts, and sends nothing to an ad network or a data broker.
- It does not try to identify you, and does not fingerprint your device.
- Nothing it collects is sold, and nothing is shared for anyone else's marketing.
While a tab is open, your browser keeps a few small notes — a random number for the visit, whether the visit is in the recording sample, and a counter. Your browser deletes them when you close the tab.
Where it goes
The measurements and recordings go to a private dashboard, on a server run for this practice by the person who builds and maintains this website. It is not public and it takes a key to open. The hosting provider that serves these pages also keeps its own standard server logs, as every web host does.
How long it's kept
Session recordings are deleted after 30 days. For the rest — the page views, clicks and scroll measurements, and what you send through the form — there is no deletion schedule in place yet. That is under review, and this page will say what it is once it is set.
How to turn it off
If your browser sends Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control, none of the measuring or recording above happens. The script checks for it and stops before it records anything, and the site checks again on its side. Both settings live in your browser's privacy preferences; some browsers send Global Privacy Control already.
Your choices
You can ask to see, correct or delete anything held about you, including a recording of your visit, or ask that your visits not be measured at all. Use the contact form and say what you'd like.
