Hear and Now Psychology ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Website Privacy Policy explains how we handle information collected through our public website.

Information Collected Automatically

Like most websites, our website platform may automatically collect certain information about how visitors interact with our site. This may include your IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, and the date and time of your visit. We use this information to maintain website functionality, understand website usage, and analyze traffic.

No Protected Health Information (PHI) Collected Through This Website

This public website is intended for informational and educational purposes only. Hear and Now Psychology does not collect, store, or transmit Protected Health Information (PHI) or clinical information directly through this public website.

Any features that allow you to request an appointment, contact the practice, complete forms, access the client portal, or submit personal, health, or clinical information are provided through our external SimplePractice platform. When you use these features, you are interacting with SimplePractice rather than submitting information directly through this public website.

Third-Party Secure Portal and Forms

Links or buttons for requesting an appointment, contacting the practice, accessing the client portal, or completing patient forms may direct you to services hosted by SimplePractice. Information submitted through these SimplePractice-hosted services is handled separately from this public website and is subject to the privacy and security protections applicable to those services and, when applicable, Hear and Now Psychology's Notice of Privacy Practices.

Please do not submit confidential, medical, or clinical information through any other website feature or communication channel unless specifically designated by Hear and Now Psychology for secure communication.

Your Rights

If you are a California resident, you may have rights under applicable California privacy laws regarding the collection and handling of personal information. Hear and Now Psychology does not sell or rent website visitor information for marketing purposes.
