Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how Godaelli Psychiatry & Mental Health Center (“Godaelli,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and protects information when you visit godaellimentalhealth.com(the “Site”). It applies to the Site only.

This is not our HIPAA notice. Protected health information that you share with us in the course of treatment is governed by our Notice of Privacy Practices and by applicable federal and state health-privacy laws, not by this website policy. Please do not send detailed health information, diagnoses, or other sensitive details through our website forms or by email. These channels are not secure. To discuss your care, call us or use the secure portal provided after you become a client.

Information we collect

Information you give us

When you request an appointment, contact us, or apply for a position, you may provide information such as your name, email address, phone number, the office or service you're interested in, and any message you choose to include. Provide only what's necessary to respond to your request.

Information collected automatically

Like most websites, we automatically collect limited technical information when you browse, which may include:

• Your IP address, browser type, and device and operating-system information
• Pages you view, links you click, and the date and time of your visit
• The referring site or search term that brought you here

How we use your information

• To respond to your inquiries and schedule or confirm appointments
• To provide, maintain, secure, and improve the Site and our services
• To consider employment applications you submit
• To comply with legal, regulatory, and safety obligations

Cookies and analytics

We use cookies and similar technologies to remember your preferences, keep the Site secure, and understand how visitors use it in aggregate. We may use privacy-conscious analytics services to measure traffic and improve the experience. You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings; some features of the Site may not function properly without them.

How we share information

We do not sell your personal information. We do not share mobile or text-messaging opt-in data with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. We share information only:

• With service providers (such as website hosting, scheduling, and analytics vendors) who process information on our behalf under appropriate confidentiality obligations
• When required by law, subpoena, or to protect the safety of any person
• In connection with a business transfer, with continued protection of your information

Data retention & security

We keep information only as long as needed for the purposes described above or as required by law, and we maintain reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect it. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your choices & rights

You may request to access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you (subject to information we must retain for legal, administrative, or security reasons), and you may opt out of non-essential communications at any time. Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under applicable privacy laws. To make a request, contact us using the details below.

Third-party links

The Site may link to third-party websites and services we don't control. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies, and we encourage you to review them.

Children's privacy

The Site is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their information through it. Care for minors is arranged with a parent or guardian and handled under our clinical privacy practices.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by the “Last updated” date above, and your continued use of the Site means you accept the current version.
