This Website Privacy Policy applies to the public Burnett CBT website. It is separate from Burnett CBT's Notice of Privacy Practices regarding protected health information under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).
Information Collected Through This Website
When you visit the Burnett CBT website, certain information about your visit is collected through Squarespace's website functionality and analytics. This information may include:

timestamps and similar website activity information.

Cookies and Website Analytics
The Burnett CBT website is hosted through Squarespace and uses Squarespace website functionality and analytics to understand general website traffic and usage and to improve the website. Cookies and similar technologies may be used in connection with these services. Burnett CBT provides visitors with cookie consent controls that allow visitors to accept, decline, or manage non-essential cookies.
Prospective Patient Inquiries
Burnett CBT provides a designated secure contact process through SimplePractice for prospective patient inquiries.
Information submitted through the SimplePractice contact form is intended to be handled through that designated system rather than through ordinary website communications.
Visitors should not send sensitive health, clinical, or other confidential information through ordinary email or other website communications unless Burnett CBT has specifically identified that method as appropriate for that information.
Protected Health Information
Burnett CBT is a healthcare practice and maintains separate privacy practices governing protected health information.
Information subject to HIPAA is handled in accordance with Burnett CBT's applicable HIPAA privacy and security practices and Notice of Privacy Practices.
Burnett CBT does not intentionally use public website analytics to collect clinical information or protected health information.
Third-Party Services
Burnett CBT uses service providers to operate its website and provide designated online services. Depending upon how a visitor interacts with the website, information may be processed by providers including Squarespace and SimplePractice.
These third-party services maintain their own privacy practices and policies.
Links to websites or services operated by other organizations are subject to the privacy practices of those organizations. Burnett CBT is not responsible for the privacy practices of independently operated third-party websites.

External Links
The Burnett CBT website may contain links to external websites, directories, resources, social media platforms, or other online services.
Following an external link may allow the operator of that service to collect information according to its own privacy practices. Visitors should review the privacy policies of external services if they have questions about how those services process information.
Data Retention
Website information is retained as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy and consistent with the retention practices of the applicable service provider. Information submitted through designated patient or prospective-patient systems may be subject to separate healthcare, legal, and record-retention requirements.
Data Security
Burnett CBT takes privacy and information security seriously and uses administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards appropriate to the nature of the information being handled.
No website, internet transmission, or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Visitors should therefore use the designated secure communication methods provided by Burnett CBT when transmitting sensitive information.
Children
The public Burnett CBT website is intended to provide general information about the practice and its services. The website is not intended to solicit personal information directly from children through ordinary website functionality.
Parents or legal guardians seeking services for a minor should use Burnett CBT's designated secure inquiry process.
