Golden Hive Counseling & Clinical Supervision ("Golden Hive") respects your privacy and is committed to being transparent about how information is handled when you visit this website.
This Privacy Policy describes information that may be collected when you visit goldenhivecounseling.com, how that information may be used, and the choices available to you.
This policy applies specifically to this public website. It is separate from the privacy and confidentiality practices that apply to individuals receiving counseling or other professional services from Golden Hive.
Information Collected Through This Website
Golden Hive does not use this website to collect clinical, medical, or other sensitive health information from visitors.
Please do not submit protected health information, details about your mental health or treatment, or other sensitive clinical information through this website or through any general website feature.
If you are interested in becoming a client or need to communicate information related to your care, you may be directed to an appropriate method of communication outside of this public website.
Website Analytics
This website uses Squarespace Analytics to help Golden Hive understand how visitors use the website and to improve its functionality and overall visitor experience.
Squarespace Analytics may collect information about your browser, network, and device, the webpages you visited before coming to this website, your IP address, and information about your interactions with the website. Interaction information may include pages visited, clicks, scrolling, searches, internal links, and timestamps. This information is provided to Squarespace, the website hosting and analytics provider, to provide information about website traffic and activity.

Cookies and Similar Technologies
This website uses cookies and similar technologies.
Certain necessary cookies are used by Squarespace to securely operate and provide the website. Squarespace may also use analytics and performance cookies to provide Squarespace Analytics, including information about website traffic, unique visitors, sessions, and traffic sources.

Squarespace
This website is hosted by Squarespace.
Squarespace provides the technology used to host and operate this website and may process technical information about visitors as part of providing those services.
Golden Hive does not use Squarespace website features to intentionally collect, maintain, or transmit protected health information.
Squarespace states that standard Squarespace website features, including its Form Block, are not designed to be used as part of a HIPAA-compliant solution. For that reason, visitors should not use this website to transmit protected health information or other sensitive clinical information.
Counseling and Health Information
Information exchanged as part of an established counseling relationship is handled separately from information associated with general use of this public website.
Clinical information may be subject to professional confidentiality requirements and applicable state and federal privacy laws, including the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), when applicable.
This website Privacy Policy does not replace Golden Hive Counseling & Clinical Supervision's Notice of Privacy Practices.
If Golden Hive is a HIPAA-covered healthcare provider, HHS requires its Notice of Privacy Practices to describe how protected health information may be used and disclosed, individuals' privacy rights, and the provider's privacy responsibilities. HHS also requires covered providers maintaining a website describing their services to prominently make that notice available through the website.

Please do not include sensitive health information, detailed clinical information, diagnoses, treatment information, or other protected health information in ordinary email communications unless you have been instructed to use that method for a particular purpose.
Contacting Golden Hive or visiting this website does not, by itself, establish a counselor-client relationship.
Third-Party Websites and Services
This website may contain links to websites or services operated by third parties.
When you follow a link to another website or service, that provider's privacy practices and policies apply. Golden Hive does not control the privacy or security practices of independently operated third-party websites.
