Privacy Policy (ready to paste into a new Hostinger page)

Privacy Policy Effective Date: [today's date]

Whole You Care is the umbrella brand of Integrative Mind Body Counseling, PLLC ("we," "our," or "the practice"), a licensed entity in Washington State. This Privacy Policy explains how information is collected, used, and safeguarded when you visit www.wholeyou.care.

Information We Collect

We collect only the information you voluntarily provide through the contact form on this website, which may include your name, email address, phone number, and the content of the message you send. You are not required to provide any personal information to browse the website.

We do not use analytics tools, advertising trackers, or third-party marketing pixels on this website. Our hosting provider may log basic technical information (such as IP address and browser type) for security and site-functionality purposes; we do not access or analyze this data for marketing.

How We Use Your Information

Information submitted through the contact form is used solely to respond to your inquiry, answer questions about services, and follow up as appropriate. We do not sell, rent, trade, or share your information with third parties for marketing purposes.

Website Contact Form vs. Clinical Communication

Submitting a message through the contact form on this website does not establish a therapist-client or practitioner-client relationship and is not a secure channel for clinical or health information. Please do not submit protected health information, clinical questions, crisis communication, or confidential details through this form.

All clinical communication, intake, scheduling, and record-keeping for psychotherapy clients is conducted through our HIPAA-compliant electronic health record system (Simple Practice), which is provided to clients separately after initial contact. Wellness clients will be directed to the appropriate secure channel after initial contact.

Cookies

This website may use a small number of functional cookies required for the site to operate correctly. We do not use advertising or tracking cookies. You may disable cookies in your browser settings; some features of the site may not function properly if you do.

Third-Party Services

This website is hosted on Hostinger, which provides the technical infrastructure for the site. Hostinger maintains its own privacy and security practices. This website may also link to external directories and resources; we are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party sites.

Washington Consumer Health Data

As a Washington-based practice, we recognize that wellness-related inquiries may constitute consumer health data under Washington's My Health My Data Act. We collect only what is necessary to respond to your inquiry, do not sell consumer health data, and do not share it outside of what is needed to respond to you directly.

Protection of Information

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect the information you submit through this website. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Children's Privacy

This website is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18 through this website. Parents or guardians inquiring about services for a minor should make the initial inquiry on the minor's behalf.

Changes to This Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time. The effective date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.

Disclaimer

The content on this website is for general education and information only. Reading it is not the same as being a client of Whole You Care. Our licensed psychotherapy and wellness services are provided only through a formal intake process, not through the website itself.

Psychotherapy services referenced on this website are provided by Johanna Aguirre, LMHCA, through Integrative Mind Body Counseling, PLLC, a licensed entity in the State of Washington. Wellness services (including nutritional therapy and AIP coaching) are provided separately under the Whole You Care brand and are complementary, non-clinical services. Wellness services do not diagnose or treat medical or mental-health conditions and are not a substitute for licensed medical or mental-health care.

Visiting this website, reading its content, or submitting a message through the contact form does not create a therapist-client, coach-client, or provider-patient relationship. A professional relationship is established only after an intake process and signed agreement through our secure client systems.

If you are experiencing a mental-health crisis or medical emergency, do not use this website to seek help. In the U.S., call or text 988 for the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, or call 911 for emergencies.
