We collect information to enable our platform to provide therapeutic and evaluative services to our clients, and to understand how users interact with our website to continuously improve your experience.

We collect information in several ways:

Information You Give Us

Some of our online resources, contact features, or portal options require you to share information. When you do, we may ask for personal details like your name, email, and birthday in order to complete your practice paperwork or schedule evaluations. For billing, payment processing, or premium services, we collect additional details such as your phone number, billing address, and secure payment card processing data. In all cases, you remain in control of the information you choose to provide.

Information Provided to Us by Other Healthcare Providers

If your care or evaluation is being coordinated by an outside provider, doctor, or referral source, they may choose to provide Mental Wellness Montclair Therapy & Evaluations with patient demographic data to facilitate transitions of care. We do not disclose your personal demographic or clinical data to outside parties other than your designated healthcare providers, and only for the explicit purpose of coordinating your healthcare.

Many clinical features allow you to securely share information about your health or evaluation intake. Any clinical, biographical, or appointment information you transmit will never be indexed by any public search engine. This information is sent securely to Mental Wellness Montclair Therapy & Evaluations and is fully encrypted during transit and while stored at rest.

VI. Accessing and Updating Your Personal Information

Whenever you use our website services, we aim to provide you with simple access to your personal information. If that information is incorrect, we strive to give you ways to update it quickly or to delete it, unless we are required to keep that information for legitimate medical record retention, business, or legal purposes. When updating your information, we may ask you to verify your identity before acting on your request.

VII. Information We Share

We do not share personal information with companies, organizations, and individuals outside of Mental Wellness Montclair Therapy & Evaluations unless one of the following circumstances applies:

With your consent: We will share personal information with outside entities when we have your explicit, opt-in written consent to do so.
For Permitted or Required by Law Activities: We may use and/or disclose your health information without obtaining your written authorization for legal reporting mandates, such as reports of abuse, neglect, or specific public safety requirements.
To Avoid Harm to a Person: We may use and disclose health information if we believe that the disclosure is necessary to prevent or lessen a serious and imminent threat to the health or safety of another person or the general public.
For Workers’ Compensation: We may disclose your health information to comply with workers’ compensation laws or other similar established programs.

All other clinical data uses and disclosures require your prior written authorization under standard healthcare compliance practices. You may revoke any such authorization, in writing, at any time to halt future disclosures.

If Mental Wellness Montclair Therapy & Evaluations is involved in a structural merger, practice acquisition, or asset sale, we will continue to ensure the strict confidentiality of any personal and client information and give affected individuals notice before information is transferred or becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

Cookie and Similar Technology Policy

What are cookies?

A cookie is a small amount of data sent from a web server to your browser and stored on your computer or mobile device’s hard drive while you are viewing a website. We use both session cookies (which expire once you close your web browser) and persistent cookies (which stay on your computer until you delete them) to provide you with a more personal and interactive experience on our website.

We use two broad categories of cookies:

First-party cookies: Served directly by us to your device, which we use to recognize your computer or mobile device when it revisits our website.
Third-party cookies: Served by service providers on our website, which can be used by those providers to recognize your device when it visits other websites.

Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies: These cookies are essential to provide you with services available through our website and to enable you to use some of its features, such as secure forms.
Functionality Cookies: These cookies allow our website to remember choices you make when you use the service, such as remembering your language or form preferences to provide a more personalized experience.
Analytics and Performance Cookies: These cookies are used to collect information about traffic to our website and how users interact with it. The information gathered is aggregated, anonymous, and does not identify any individual visitor. We use Google Analytics for this purpose.
Social Media Cookies: These cookies may be used when you interact with links to public social media profiles or share content from our site. Social networking platforms (such as Facebook or LinkedIn) may record that interaction in compliance with their respective advertising and platform policies.

Disabling Cookies

If you decide at any time that you no longer wish to accept cookies from our website, you can typically instruct your browser, by changing its settings, to remove or stop accepting cookies, or to prompt you before accepting a cookie from the websites you visit. Many browsers are set to accept cookies until you change your settings. If you do not accept cookies, you may experience some inconvenience or limited functionality when using certain portions of our web platform.

Pixel Tags

In addition, we may use pixel tags (also referred to as clear GIFs or web beacons) to track the actions of users on our website and in HTML-formatted emails. Pixel tags are tiny graphic images embedded invisibly on web pages or emails. They tell us whether emails have been opened, helping us ensure that we are only sending communications that are of genuine interest to our clients.

Do Not Track Signals

Some internet browsers may be configured to send “Do Not Track” signals to the online services that you visit. We currently do not alter our practices in response to these signals.

Sites We Link To

If you choose to use any of the outbound links we provide to resources, professional directories, or third-party tools, you will be leaving our website and going to a new site. While we take care in choosing high-quality resources, we accept no liability whatsoever for third-party sites. Protection of your privacy at those external locations will be governed by the privacy policy of that specific site.
