Connected Beginnings is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how information is collected, used, and safeguarded when you visit this website or choose to contact us through it.

Information We Collect

We may collect limited personal information when you:

• Request a consultation

• Sign up for emails or resources (if applicable)

This information may include your name, email address, phone number, and any message you choose to share.

Please avoid submitting sensitive personal or health information through website forms.

How Information Is Used

Information collected through this website is used to:

• Respond to inquiries

• Provide requested information or services

• Communicate about scheduling or next steps

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information for marketing purposes.

Therapy & Confidentiality

Submitting information through this website does not establish a therapist–client relationship.

Confidentiality and HIPAA protections apply only after you become a client and complete required intake and consent forms. Once therapy begins, privacy and confidentiality are governed by separate clinical policies provided directly to clients.

Website Analytics & Cookies

This website may use basic analytics tools (such as Google Analytics or platform-provided analytics) to understand website traffic and improve usability.

These tools may collect non-identifying information such as:

• Pages visited

• Time spent on the site

• General location (city/state)

You can disable cookies through your browser settings if you prefer.

Third-Party Services

This website may link to or integrate with third-party services (such as scheduling platforms or email providers). These services have their own privacy policies, and Connected Beginnings is not responsible for their practices.

Data Security

Reasonable measures are taken to protect the information you choose to share. However, no website or electronic communication can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Children’s Privacy

This website is intended for adults seeking information or services. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children through this website.

Changes to This Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
