Privacy Policy


NEW YORK | VIRTUAL CARE | WEBSITE AND DATA PRACTICES

Effective date: October 3, 2026

Overview


The Technology Treatment Practice respects the privacy of everyone who visits this website. This policy describes what information the website collects, how it is used, and the choices available to you. It applies to technologytreatment.com and to the forms and sign-ups on it.


Website Privacy and Health Information


This policy covers the website. Clinical records and health information created in the course of care are protected under federal and New York State law and are governed by the HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices. Where the two differ, the HIPAA Notice controls for health information.

Please do not send clinical details through the website's contact form or email sign-ups. A welcome call is the place for those.


Information the Practice Collects

  • Information you provide: your name and email address when you submit the contact form, and your email address when you request training updates or an invitation to the Project35Hours forum.
  • Information collected automatically: standard technical data such as IP address, browser and device type, pages visited, and time on site. This data is collected through cookies and similar tools described below.
  • Scheduling: the Arrange a Welcome Call buttons open SimplePractice, the practice's secure, HIPAA-compliant practice management platform. Information you enter there is handled under the HIPAA Notice and SimplePractice's own privacy terms.


How Information Is Used

  • To respond to inquiries sent through the contact form.
  • To send training dates, forum launch updates, or other information you have requested.
  • To understand how the website is used and to improve its content and performance.
  • To protect the website and its forms from spam and misuse.

Information is used only for these purposes and for the operation of the practice.


Cookies, Analytics, and Site Tools


The website uses cookies to measure traffic and keep the site running smoothly. On your first visit, a banner lets you accept or decline them; declining does not limit your use of the site.

  • GoDaddy: the website is hosted on GoDaddy, which collects aggregated traffic and performance data.
  • Google Tag Manager: used to manage site code, including the structured data that helps search engines describe the practice accurately.
  • Google reCAPTCHA: protects the contact form from spam. Its use is subject to Google's Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.


Third-Party Services


Some services linked from this website are run by other organizations, each under its own privacy terms:

  • SimplePractice: scheduling and client portal for clinical care.
  • Substack: host of the Project35Hours forum.
  • Himalayan Institute: registration for the Slow Down, Settle In™ weekend retreat.

The practice does not control how these services handle information. Their privacy policies apply when you use them.


Email Communication


Email sign-ups are used only for the updates you requested. Every message includes a way to unsubscribe. Standard email is not a fully secure channel, so personal or clinical information is best shared during a call or through the SimplePractice client portal.


Personal Information Is Not Sold


The practice does not sell, rent, or trade personal information. It is shared only with the service providers named above to operate the website, or as required by law.


Data Security


Administrative, technical, and physical safeguards are in place to protect personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or loss. No website or online transmission is entirely secure, which is why clinical details are kept out of the website's forms.


Visitors Under 18


This website and the practice's services are intended for adults. The website does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18.


Notice of a Data Breach


In the event of a breach involving your personal information, you will be notified as required by New York State law, including the SHIELD Act, and by HIPAA where health information is involved.


Your Choices

  • Decline cookies through the banner, or clear them in your browser settings at any time.
  • Unsubscribe from any email list through the link in each message.
  • Request that information you submitted through the website be updated or deleted by writing to the practice.


Changes to This Policy


This policy may be updated to reflect changes in the website or in legal requirements. The effective date at the top of the page shows when it was last revised.


Questions About This Policy


Questions about this policy can be sent through the Contact page or in writing to The Technology Treatment Practice, 119 West 57th Street, New York, NY 10019.
