If you upload images to the website (e.g., through a form), avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS).

Website visitors may be able to extract location data from publicly displayed images.

Embedded Content From Other Websites

Articles or pages on this site may include embedded content, such as:

  • Respond to your inquiry

  • Schedule an appointment

We do not sell or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes.

Who We Share Data With

How Long We Retain Data

  • Contact form submissions may be retained for administrative purposes.

This does not include information we are required to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Clinical records follow separate legal guidelines under Ontario law and the College of Psychologists and Behavioural Analysts of Ontario (CPBAO). Requests related to clinical records must follow regulated procedures.

Where Your Data Is Sent

Contact form submissions and visitor activity may be checked through:

  • automated spam detection services

  • website security tools

  • hosting-based firewalls

This ensures website safety and reduces malicious activity.

Email & Digital Privacy

Email is not a fully secure form of communication.

While we take reasonable steps to protect information transmitted through the website, we encourage you not to include highly sensitive personal or medical details in your initial message.

Confidentiality of Clinical Services

The confidentiality of psychological services is governed by Ontario law and CPBAO regulations.

This includes strict rules about:

  • clinical recordkeeping

  • informed consent

  • limits to confidentiality (risk of harm, court order, etc.)

These standards are separate from website privacy and will be reviewed with clients directly.
