OUR RELATIONSHIP 

Petersen Family Counseling understands the importance of a Patient’s  relationship with his or her health care providers and the importance of  keeping your Personal Information private. Personal information identifies you  as an individual, such as your name, postal address, email address, date of  birth, and telephone number (“Personal Information”). 

Health Information is a part of the Personal Information that we collect from  Patients. Health Information is generally described as information that we  collect, receive or create about a Patient and their healthcare. 

As an example, we may collect Personal Information about Authorized  Personnel or an Authorized Caregiver who uses the Services to help a  Patient. And we may collect information about a Patient that is unrelated to  their healthcare, such as basic registration, creating a profile, and information  from third parties that is included within a Patient’s profile. 

This Privacy Policy describes our practices in connection with information that  we collect through your use of the Services and through the Site or  Applications. You can visit the Site at any time without providing Personal  Information, however, the Site may collect information about your visit  automatically as described below “Information We Collect Automatically.” By

WHAT PERSONAL INFORMATION DO  WE COLLECT ABOUT YOU AND WHY? 

Personal Information We Collect From Providers

We do not collect Health Information  about Authorized Caregivers. 

To register to use the Services as a Patient, you must provide your name,  primary address, email address, and date of birth. If a Patient or Authorized  Caregiver uses the “Link Online Accounts” feature of the Services, we will ask  you to provide the user names and passwords for those online accounts that  the Patient has authorized Petersen Family Counseling to access in order to  collect other Personal Information regarding the Patient and Patient’s medical  history that is maintained by third parties Patient has identified in Patient’s  Account as “Authorized Third Parties.” The Personal Information the Patient  may permit us to obtain from these Authorized Third Parties may include, 

without limitation, demographic information, financial information, medical  claims history, and other Health Information. 

We also may collect additional optional information from you, including, for  example, Social Security number, employment history, health care insurance  information, and demographic data, however, you are not required to provide  us with this information to use the Services.

To send you important information regarding the Services, changes to our  terms, conditions, and policies, and/or other administrative information.

To third parties for research or similar purposes, but only if such Personal  Information has been de-identified. 

WHAT IS HEALTH INFORMATION?

Health Information is a part of the Personal  Information that we collect about Patients and  falls into two categories: 

“Protected Health Information” is individually identifiable health information  which is created or received by or on behalf of a covered entity (for example,  a health care provider or health plan) and which relates to the past, present or  future physical or mental health or condition of an individual, the provision of  health care to an individual, or the past, present or future payment for the  provision of health care to an individual. Protected Health Information is  further defined by the federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability  Act of 1996 (HIPAA) and is subject to the protections of HIPAA. “Additional Health Information” is a subset of Health Information that does not  fall within the category of Protected Health Information above. For example,  this would encompass information related to past, present or future physical or  mental health or conditions, the provision of health care to an individual, or the  past, present or future payment for the provision of health care to an individual  but with the difference that such information was not created or received by us  from or on behalf of a covered entity. We may collect Additional Health  Information in connection with the Site or Applications. 

HOW WE USE AND/OR SHARE  PROTECTED HEALTH INFORMATION  AND ADDITIONAL HEALTH INFORMATION 

We may use and/or disclose Protected Health Information and Additional  Health Information to provide the Services as described in this policy, except  our use and disclosure of Protected Health Information is further limited by the  main federal health privacy law known as the Health Insurance Portability and  Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”) and the Notice of Privacy Practices  available from your Provider. 

We will use and disclose Protected Health Information only to provide  Services to the Patient or the Provider, for those uses and disclosures  permitted by HIPAA, and the agreement that we have with your Provider. In  the event that there is a conflict or inconsistency about the handling of  Protected Health Information between (i) this Privacy Policy and (ii) our 

compliance obligations with HIPAA and contractual commitments with  Providers, then the latter will govern. 

NON-PERSONAL INFORMATION WE  COLLECT AUTOMATICALLY 

We may automatically collect the following information about your use of our  Site or Services through cookies, web beacons, and other technologies: your  domain name; your browser type and operating system; web pages you view;  links you click; your IP address; the length of time you visit our Site or use our  Services; and the referring URL, or the webpage that led you to our Site, and  the following: access time, browser type, device ID, domain name, IP address,  page views and referring URL.

Please see the  section “Our Use of Cookies and Other Tracking Mechanisms” below for more  information. 

OUR USE OF COOKIES AND OTHER  TRACKING MECHANISMS 

We and our third-party service providers use cookies and other tracking  mechanisms to track information about your use of our Site or Services. We  may combine this information with other personal information we collect from  you (and our third-party service providers may do so on our behalf). 

Currently, our systems do not recognize browser “do-not-track” requests. You  may, however, disable certain tracking as discussed in this section (e.g., by  disabling cookies); you also may opt-out of targeted advertising by following  the instructions in the Third Party Ad Network section. 

Cookies: Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your  computer’s hard drive through your web browser for record-keeping purposes.  Some cookies allow us to make it easier for you to navigate our Site and  Services, while others are used to enable a faster log-in process or to allow us  to track your activities at our Site and Service. There are two types of cookies:  session and persistent cookies.

Session Cookies: Session cookies exist only during an online session. They  disappear from your computer when you close your browser or turn off your  computer. We use session cookies to allow our systems to uniquely identify  you during a session or while you are logged into the Site. This allows us to  process your online transactions and requests and verify your identity after  

you have logged in, as you move through our Site. 

Persistent Cookies: Persistent cookies remain on your computer after you  have closed your browser or turned off your computer. We do not currently  use persistent cookies on the Site. 

Disabling Cookies: Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but if  you prefer, you can edit your browser options to block them in the future. The  Help portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your  computer from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you  when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether. Visitors  to our Site who disable cookies will be able to browse certain areas of the  Site, but some features may not function. 

Local Storage Objects: We may use Flash Local Storage Objects (“Flash  LSOs”) to store your Site preferences and to personalize your visit. Flash  LSOs are different from browser cookies because of the amount and type of  data stored. Typically, you cannot control, delete, or disable the acceptance of  Flash LSOs through your web browser. For more information on Flash LSOs,  or to learn how to manage your settings for Flash LSOs, go to the Adobe  Flash Player Help Page, choose “Global Storage Settings Panel” and follow  the instructions. To see the Flash LSOs currently on your computer, choose  “Website Storage Settings Panel” and follow the instructions to review and, if  you choose, to delete any specific Flash LSO. 

Third-Party Analytics: We use automated devices and applications, such as  Google Analytics, to evaluate usage of our Site and, to the extent permitted,  our Applications. We also may use other analytic means to evaluate our  Services. We use these tools to help us improve our Services, performance  and user experiences. These entities may use cookies and other tracking  technologies to perform their services. We do not share your personal  information with these third parties. 

With respect to Google Analytics specifically, we may collect the some or all of  the following information about your use of our Site and Applications, and we  may be able to connect this information to other information we have about  you:

  • Pages visited, time of visit, and time spent on

each page of the webpages 

  • Type of web browser
  • Type of operating system (OS)
  • Screen resolution
  • IP address
  • Third-Party Links

Our Site and Services may contain links to third-party websites. Any access to  and use of such linked websites is not governed by this Policy but instead is  governed by the privacy policies of those third-party websites. We are not  responsible for the information practices of such third party websites. 

SECURITY OF PERSONAL INFORMATION 

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical measures to  protect Personal Information under our control, and Protected Health  Information is specifically per the HIPAA rules. Unfortunately, no data  transmission over the Internet or data storage system can be guaranteed to  be 100% secure. If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is  no longer secure (for example, if you feel that the security of any account you  might have with us has been compromised), please immediately notify us of  the problem by contacting us through  

https://www.ourwebsiteURL.com/contact/. 

You should take steps to protect against unauthorized access to your  password, phone, and computer by, among other things, signing off after  using a shared computer, choosing a robust password that nobody else  knows or can easily guess, and keeping your log-in and password private. We  are not responsible for any lost, stolen, or compromised passwords or for any  activity on your account via unauthorized password activity. 

ACCESS TO MY PERSONAL INFORMATION 

You may modify Personal Information that you have submitted by logging into  your account and updating your profile information. Please note that copies of  information that you have updated, modified or deleted may remain viewable  in cached and archived pages of the Site or Application for a period of time.

You may also contact us directly if you would like to review, correct, update,  delete or otherwise limit our use of your Personal Information that has been  previously provided to us by sending us a message through  https://www.ourwebsiteURL.com/contact/. In your request, please make clear  what information you would like to have changed, whether you would like to  have your Personal Information deleted from our database or otherwise let us  know what limitations you would like to put on our use of your Personal  Information. We will try to comply with your request as soon as reasonably  practicable. Please note that in order to comply with certain requests to limit  use of your Personal Information we may need to terminate your account with  us and your ability to access and use the Services, and you agree that we will  not be liable to you for such termination. Although we will use reasonable  efforts to do so, you understand that it may not be technologically possible to  remove from our systems every record of your Personal Information. The  need to back up our systems to protect information from inadvertent loss  means a copy of your Personal Information may exist in a non-erasable form  that will be difficult or impossible for us to locate or remove. 

We will retain your Personal Information for the period necessary to fulfill the  purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy unless a longer retention period is  required or allowed by law. 

WHAT CHOICES DO I HAVE REGARDING USE OF MY PERSONAL  INFORMATION? 

We may send periodic promotional or informational emails to you, provided  that such messages are not based on Protected Health Information. You may  opt-out of such communications by following the opt-out instructions contained  in the e-mail. Please note that it may take up to 10 business days for us to  process opt-out requests. If you opt-out of receiving emails about  recommendations or other information we think may interest you, we may still  send you e-mails about your account or any Services you have requested or  received from us. 

CHILDREN UNDER 18 

The Services are not permitted for use by individuals under the age of  eighteen (18) unless they have provided the written consent of their parents or
