Privacy Policy
Effective Date: October 12, 2026
Desert Soul Wellness LLC (“Desert Soul Wellness,” “I,” “me,” or “my”) respects your privacy. This policy explains how information is collected, used, and shared when you visit www.desertsoulwellness.com.
This policy covers this website only. It does not replace the Notice of Privacy Practices that applies to therapy clients.
1. Information I Collect
Information you provide. If you contact me through the website form, by email, or by phone, I collect:
Your name
Your email address
Your phone number
Any details you choose to include in your message
The form is for general inquiries and first contact only. It is not secure. Please do not include health or clinical information. That means no details about your mental health, diagnosis, treatment history, or medications.
If you are in crisis, do not use this website. Call 911 or 988, or go to your nearest emergency room.
Information collected automatically. When you visit, the site may collect:
IP address
Browser, device, and operating system
General location
Pages visited and how you use them
Date and time of visits
The site that referred you
I use this to keep the site working, understand how it is used, improve it, and guard against spam and fraud.
2. How I Use Information
I use information from this website to:
Respond to your inquiry
Talk with you about my services
Improve and secure the website
Understand website traffic
Meet legal or regulatory requirements
Website messages are not part of a clinical record. If you become a client, I may move relevant details into your record. That record is then protected under my Notice of Privacy Practices.
3. Website Form, Squarespace, and Email
This site is hosted by Squarespace. When you submit the form, Squarespace processes and stores it. It is also sent to my business email. I use Google Workspace for business email.
Website and email communication may not be fully secure. Please keep health details out of both.
4. Cookies and Do Not Track
This site uses cookies and similar tools. Some are needed for the site to work. Non-essential cookies stay off unless you accept them in the cookie banner. You can change your choice there at any time. You can also adjust cookies in your browser. Doing so may affect how the site works.
[This website does not currently respond to Do Not Track signals.]
[I do not allow third parties to collect information about your activity across other websites through this site.]
5. Analytics
Squarespace provides analytics that show me how visitors use the site. I do not use this site to track sensitive health information for advertising.
6. How Information Is Shared
I do not sell your personal information.
I share information only with service providers that help run the website and handle inquiries. These include:
Squarespace (hosting and form processing)
Google Workspace (business email)
[Any other tools you use]
I may also disclose information when the law requires or allows it, or to protect the rights, safety, or security of Desert Soul Wellness or others.
7. Third-Party Links
This site may link to other websites. Their privacy practices apply there. I am not responsible for them.
8. Security
I take reasonable steps to protect information collected here. No website or email system is fully secure. Please do not send sensitive health information through the form or regular email.
9. How Long I Keep Information
[I delete inquiries that do not become client relationships within 12 months.] Form submissions stay in Squarespace until I delete them. I may keep some records longer when business, legal, or professional rules require it.
10. Your Privacy Choices
You can ask to see, correct, or delete personal information collected through this website. I may need to verify your identity first.
