Privacy and Confidentiality
PatriciaCarterLMFT.com respects your personal privacy and provides this informational statement so that you may better understand how we may collect, aggregate, and use personal information about you. Future changes to this privacy statement will be announced on the website at least one week prior to the effective date of the change. This privacy statement describes the privacy practices for this website.
PatriciaCarterLMFT.com is committed to safeguarding consumer privacy on this website. We operate under the following set of strict privacy principles:
The only information PatriciaCarterLMFT.com obtains about individual visitors to this website is that supplied voluntarily by visitors. In cases when PatriciaCarterLMFT.com may need personal information to provide visitors with customized content or to inform them about new features or services, visitors are explicitly asked for that information.
Personally identifiable information provided by visitors (name, e-mail, or telephone number, etc.) will not be disclosed to anyone unless visitors indicate that PatriciaCarterLMFT.com may do so.
Only statistical information about visitors as a group may be maintained. Personally identifiable information will not be shared at any time without the visitor’s permission. All important information is otherwise private, and will not be made available to any other use of the website, or any other person or entity in general, without the consent of the user.
There are two important exceptions to our assurances of confidentiality:
United States law requires that any suspicion of risk of child abuse be reported to child welfare authorities or law enforcement authorities. If I believe that a child is at risk of being abused, has already been abused, or that someone who previously abused children is still a threat, I have no choice but to immediately make every effort possible to report it to social services agencies. United States law requires that any suspicion of risk of child abuse be reported to child welfare authorities or law enforcement authorities.
Most United States courts have the power to subpoena my records if you are involved in a court case in which your relationship with louislaveswebb.com is somehow relevant. Although this may be rare, if you have any questions, it is better to contact your lawyer prior to disclosing any information you may deem private.
Texas and United States law requires that there is a duty to report eminent cases of suicide or homicide.
