Privacy Policy
Stoner Counseling Services, LLC
Last updated: September 2, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how this website (stonercounseling.com) collects, uses, and protects visitors' information. It applies to the website — not to clinical records. Information about how your protected health information is used and protected once you become a client is covered separately in our Notice of Privacy Practices, provided as part of your client intake paperwork.
Information We Collect
When you visit this website or use the contact form, we may collect:
-
Information you provide directly, such as your name, email address, phone number, and any message you enter in the contact form
-
Standard technical/analytics data collected automatically by our website platform (Wix), such as browser type, device type, and general usage patterns, used to keep the site running smoothly and understand how it's used
We do not collect payment information, insurance details, or clinical information through this website. We collect that information only through the secure forms provided directly to clients (see the Clients page) and handle it according to our HIPAA-compliant procedures.
How We Use Information
Information submitted through the contact form is used solely to respond to your inquiry — for example, to schedule a meet & greet or answer a question about the practice. We do not use it for marketing, and we do not sell, rent, or share your information with third parties for their own marketing purposes.
Third-Party Links
This site links to outside resources for educational purposes, including self-assessment tools (RecoveryZone, traumadissociation.com), informational pages (U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, EMDRIA), and video content (YouTube). These are independent sites with their own privacy practices — we encourage you to review their policies separately, as we don't control or take responsibility for how they handle your information.
Cookies & Website Hosting
This website is built and hosted on Wix, which may use cookies and similar technologies to operate the site and collect basic analytics. Wix's own privacy and cookie practices apply to this underlying technology.
Security
We take reasonable steps to protect information submitted through this site. However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure. For sensitive information — such as completed intake forms — please use the secure email option provided rather than the general contact form, and avoid sending confidential details by standard text or email.
Children's Privacy
This website and practice are not directed toward or intended for use by anyone under 21. We do not knowingly collect information from minors through this site.
Your Choices
You may contact us at any time to ask what information we hold about you through this website, or to request it be deleted, using the contact information below.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top will reflect the most recent revision.
