Privacy Policy
Effective Date: October 9, 2026
Website: https://www.braveseasontherapy.com/
Kimberly Schildbach, M.Ed., LMHC, respects your privacy. This policy explains what information may be collected when you visit this website, submit a contact form, or interact with the website, how that information is used, and how it is protected.
Information You Provide
When you submit a contact form or contact me through this website, you may provide personal information such as your name, email address, phone number, and the information you choose to include in your message.
I use this information to respond to your inquiry, answer questions about my services, and communicate with you about potential services you have requested.
Please avoid including sensitive personal, medical, or mental health information in website contact forms. A website inquiry is not the same as establishing a therapeutic relationship.
Website Analytics and Automatically Collected Information
This website may use analytics tools to understand how visitors use the site and to improve its content, performance, and functionality.
Depending on the tools in use, information collected automatically may include your IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, time spent on the website, and how you arrived at the site. Cookies and similar technologies may also be used for website functionality and analytics.
Analytics information is used to understand general website traffic and visitor behavior. I do not sell your personal information or sell your browsing data to advertisers.
How Your Information Is Used
Information collected through this website may be used to:
Respond to inquiries and requests for information.
Communicate with you about therapy services.
Maintain and improve the website.
Understand website traffic and evaluate which pages are useful to visitors.
Protect the website against spam, misuse, and security threats.
Comply with applicable legal obligations.
Sharing of Information
I do not sell your personal information.
Information may be processed by third-party service providers that help operate the website, deliver contact-form messages, or provide website analytics. These providers may process information as necessary to perform their services, subject to their applicable terms and privacy practices.
Information may also be disclosed when required by law or when necessary to protect legal rights, website security, or safety.
Cookies and Analytics Choices
Cookies are small files that websites may store on your device. Analytics tools may use cookies or similar technologies to measure website traffic and understand how visitors interact with the site.
You may be able to restrict cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect website functionality. If a cookie consent tool is available on this website, you may also use it to manage the choices it offers.
Data Security and Retention
Reasonable steps are taken to protect information submitted through this website. However, no website, electronic transmission, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Information is retained for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to inquiries, operate the website, meet applicable legal obligations, and address legitimate business needs. Information that becomes part of a clinical record may be subject to separate professional recordkeeping and confidentiality requirements.
Therapy Confidentiality
Information submitted through this website is not automatically a clinical record, and submitting a contact form does not establish a therapist-client relationship.
If you become a client, your clinical information is handled under applicable professional confidentiality requirements and, where applicable, a separate Notice of Privacy Practices. Legal exceptions to confidentiality may apply.
Third-Party Websites
This website may contain links to external websites or services. I am not responsible for the privacy practices, security, or content of third-party websites. Please review their privacy policies before providing personal information.
Your Privacy Choices
If you have questions about this policy or would like to ask about personal information you submitted through the website, you may contact me using the information below. Requests will be handled in accordance with applicable law and any relevant professional recordkeeping obligations.
