This Privacy Policy describes how Wise Woods Hypnotherapy, Inc. ("We," "Us," "Our," "Provider") collects, uses, and protects Your personal information when You interact with our website, book sessions, or work with Us.
For the purposes of this Privacy Policy:
Personal Data. While using Our Service, We may ask You to provide certain personally identifiable information, including but not limited to:
Usage Data. Usage Data is collected automatically when using the Service.
Usage Data may include information such as Your Device's Internet Protocol address (e.g. IP address), browser type, browser version, the pages of our Service that You visit, the time and date of Your visit, the time spent on those pages, unique device identifiers and other diagnostic data.
Cookies and Tracking Technologies. We use cookies and similar technologies, including Google Analytics, to understand how visitors use Our website. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking using the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on (tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout). You can also set Your browser to refuse cookies, though this may limit some site functionality.
We use Your Personal Data to:
We do not sell Your Personal Data, and We do not share it with unrelated third parties for their own marketing purposes.
The Service Providers listed below may have access to certain Personal Data to help us operate and deliver Our services. Each is used only for the specific purpose described.
Scheduling and Intake: We use Acuity Scheduling to manage session bookings and collect intake information.
Website, Checkout, Email, and Client Portal: We use Kajabi to host Our website, process purchases, manage email communications, and host Our private client portal, where package clients can access scheduling links, session recordings, custom audios, and other personal materials.
Payment Processing: We use Stripe and Square to process payments. We do not store Your full payment card details ourselves. On occasion, payment may also be made via PayPal, Zelle, or Venmo by direct arrangement.
Video Sessions and Recording: We use Zoom to conduct virtual sessions. We may use Fathom or Zoom's built-in AI Companion, AI-based note-taking tools, during 1:1 sessions to support accurate follow-up. You may decline this at any time by letting Us know before or during a session. Live group sessions (such as the Reset Room) may be recorded for replay purposes, as described in the Reset Room Disclaimer & Acknowledgment.
Document Signing: We use DocuSign to send and collect signatures on service agreements.
Document Storage: We use Google Workspace to draft and store documents related to Your services.
Website Analytics: We use Google Analytics to understand website traffic, as described above.
In order to provide safe and appropriate hypnotherapy and energy-based services, We may ask You to share certain health-related information, such as medications You are taking or health conditions that may affect Your participation (for example, epilepsy or psychotic illness, which may make hypnosis unsafe).
Under GDPR, this is considered "special category data" and requires a higher standard of protection. We collect and process this information only with Your explicit consent, given when You provide it to Us directly, and only for the purpose of delivering Your sessions safely. This information is not used for any other purpose and is not shared with any third party except where legally required.
We retain Your personal and health-related information for up to seven (7) years following Our last interaction with You, after which it is securely deleted or destroyed.
You may decline to answer health-related questions; however, doing so may affect Our ability to safely provide certain services to You.
We retain Your Personal Data, including session records and health-related information, for up to seven (7) years following Our last interaction with You, based on Our general business, recordkeeping, and legal considerations, unless a longer period is required to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, or enforce Our agreements.
Because We work with clients around the world, including in the United Kingdom and European Union, Your Personal Data may be transferred to and processed in the United States, where Our business and Our Service Providers (including Kajabi, Acuity, Stripe, Square, Zoom, and Google) are based.
We take reasonable steps to ensure Your data is treated securely, consistent with this Privacy Policy, regardless of where it is processed. The Service Providers We use are established companies that maintain their own data protection safeguards for handling international data transfers.
You have the right to request that We delete the Personal Data We have collected about You. Contact Us using the information in the "Contact Us" section below. Please note We may need to retain certain information where We have a legal obligation to do so.
We may disclose Your Personal Data if required to do so by law, in response to valid requests by public authorities, or where necessary to protect Our legal rights, prevent wrongdoing, or protect the safety of others.
We take reasonable, commercially appropriate steps to protect Your Personal Data, though no method of transmission or storage can be guaranteed 100% secure.
We process Personal Data based on: Your consent, the performance of a contract with You, compliance with a legal obligation, or Our legitimate interests in operating and improving Our practice.
If You are located in the UK or EU, You have the right to:
To exercise these rights, contact Us using the information below. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) or Your local EU data protection authority.
Wise Woods Hypnotherapy maintains a Facebook page at facebook.com/christinalwoodshypno. We and Facebook are joint controllers for data collected through this page, in accordance with Facebook's own terms. For more information, visit Facebook's Privacy Policy (facebook.com/policy.php).
We are a small business and do not meet the California Consumer Privacy Act's (CCPA/CPRA) thresholds for a covered "Business." As a courtesy, We still want California residents to know: We do not sell Your personal information, and You may contact Us at any time to ask what personal information We hold about You, request a correction, or request deletion, subject to any legal obligations We may have to retain certain records.
While the majority of Our clients are adults, We occasionally work with clients under the age of 18. In these cases, We require the consent of a parent or legal guardian before providing any services, and the parent or guardian is required to review and sign any applicable service agreement on the minor's behalf.
We collect only the information reasonably necessary to provide services safely to a minor client, and We apply the same confidentiality and data protection practices described throughout this Privacy Policy. A parent or guardian may contact Us at any time to review, correct, or request deletion of their child's personal information, subject to Our legal recordkeeping obligations.
Our website may contain links to other sites not operated by Us. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of any third-party sites.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted here with an updated "Last updated" date.
