When you visit our Site, we may automatically collect certain information via cookies and similar technologies. This may include:

3. How We Share Your Information
Your privacy is paramount, especially your Personal Health Information (PHI). We will only share your information in the following limited circumstances:
With Your Consent: We will only disclose your PHI with your explicit written permission.
As Required by Law: We may be obligated to disclose information if required by a court order, subpoena, or if there is a duty to report (e.g., risk of imminent harm to self or others, suspected child abuse or neglect).
Service Providers: We may share information with trusted third-party vendors who assist us in operating our business and Site (e.g., a secure email service, a booking platform, a payment processor). These partners are bound by strict confidentiality and data security agreements.
Clinical Supervision: To ensure the highest quality of care, your therapist may discuss cases in a professional supervision context without using any identifying details.
4. Storage and Security of Your Information
We implement a variety of administrative, technical, and physical security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information. Your PHI is stored in Canada on secure, encrypted servers and in locked filing cabinets for physical records. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure.

6. Limits of Confidentiality
As regulated health professionals, we adhere to strict confidentiality rules. However, confidentiality is not absolute. We are legally and ethically obligated to break confidentiality in situations where there is a clear and imminent risk of harm to yourself or others, or in cases of suspected child abuse or neglect.
