Privacy Policy

Who We Are:

Cultivate Your Essence is a telehealth mental health practice serving Black women and women of color across Illinois and Georgia. You can reach us at (708) 654-1929 or info@cultivateyouressence.com.

Information We Collect:

We collect information in two ways:

Information you give us. When you fill out a contact or consultation form, request an appointment, subscribe to communications, or email us, you may provide your name, email address, phone number, and any details you choose to include in your message.

Information collected automatically. Like most websites, our Site (hosted on Wix) and our analytics tools automatically collect certain technical data, such as your IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, and how you arrived at the Site. This is collected through cookies and similar technologies (see "Cookies" below).

A note on health information. Please do not share detailed medical or clinical information through website forms or email, as these channels are not fully secure. Protected health information you share once you become a client is handled under our HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices and our secure, HIPAA-conscious telehealth systems — not this Policy.

How We Use Your Information:

We use the information we collect to respond to your inquiries and schedule consultations; to provide, maintain, and improve the Site and our services; to send information you have requested; to understand how visitors use the Site so we can improve it; and to comply with legal obligations.

We do not sell your personal information.

Cookies and Analytics:

We use cookies and tools such as Google Analytics and Google Search Console to understand Site traffic and improve performance. These tools may collect information such as pages viewed and general location. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though some parts of the Site may not function as intended. For more on how Google uses data, see Google's privacy policies.

How We Share Information:

We may share information with trusted service providers who help us operate the Site and our practice (for example, our website host, scheduling platform, and email provider), only as needed to perform those services. We may also disclose information if required by law, to protect our rights or safety or the rights or safety of others, or in connection with a business transfer. We do not share your information with third parties for their own marketing.

How We Protect Your Information:

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect the information we collect. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. Please avoid sending sensitive personal or health information through unsecured channels.

Your Choices and Rights:

You may opt out of marketing emails at any time using the unsubscribe link. You may request that we access, correct, or delete personal information you have provided by contacting us at info@cultivateyouressence.com. Depending on your state, you may have additional rights under applicable privacy laws.

Children's Privacy:

The Site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through the Site. Services for minors are arranged directly with a parent or legal guardian.

Third-Party Links:

The Site may link to third-party websites (such as directories or social media). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites; we encourage you to review their policies.

Changes to this Policy:

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
