Privacy Policy
How this website collects and uses information. Effective September 10, 2026.
About this policy
This Privacy Policy explains how Empowered Mental Health, PLLC collects and uses information through our website, empowerednd.com. It covers the website only. The privacy of your protected health information as a patient is governed separately by our Notice of Privacy Practices under HIPAA, and by the privacy terms of our patient portal provider, SimplePractice.
Information we collect
Information you give us. If you fill out a contact form or email us, we collect what you provide, such as your name, email address, phone number, and message. Please do not include sensitive health details in website contact forms.
Information collected automatically. Like most websites, we automatically collect limited technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device, pages visited, and referring site. We use cookies and similar technologies to make the site work and to understand how it is used.
How we use your information
We use the information to respond to your inquiries, provide and improve the website, understand site traffic, maintain security, and comply with legal obligations. We do not sell your personal information.
Analytics and third-party services
We may use third-party services such as website analytics to help us understand site usage. These providers may collect information through cookies subject to their own privacy policies. Our website also links to our patient portal, provided by SimplePractice, which is governed by SimplePractice’s own privacy and security terms.
Cookies
You can set your browser to refuse cookies or alert you when cookies are being sent. Some parts of the site may not function properly without them.
How we share information
We share information only with service providers who help us operate the website, when required by law, or to protect our rights and safety. We do not sell or rent your personal information.
Data security
We use reasonable measures to protect information submitted through our website. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. For confidential health communications, please use our secure patient portal rather than website forms or email.
Children’s privacy
Our website is intended for a general adult audience and is not directed at children under 13 for the purpose of collecting personal information online. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through the website. We do provide therapy services to children. Those services and their records are handled under our clinical and HIPAA practices, not this website policy. If you believe a child has provided information through the website, contact us and we will delete it.
Your choices
You may opt out of non-essential cookies through your browser, and you may contact us to ask what information we hold about you or to request its deletion, subject to legal requirements.
Links to other sites
Our website may link to third-party sites, including our patient portal. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites. Review their policies before providing information.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The current version, with its effective date, will always be posted on this page.
