Privacy Policy
Brian Poynter, LPC/MHSP
Effective Date: September 29, 2026
Your privacy is important to me. This Privacy Policy describes how information may be collected and used when you visit this website.
Information Collected Through This Website
This website does not collect personal or health information through a contact form.
The website may automatically collect limited technical information typically collected by websites, such as browser type, device type, IP address, pages visited, and general website usage information. This information may be used for website operation, security, and general analytics.
Contacting Me
If you choose to contact me by telephone or email using the contact information provided on this website, the information you provide is voluntary.
Standard email may not be a secure method of communicating confidential information. Please avoid including sensitive clinical, medical, or mental-health information in an initial email. Initial email communication should generally be limited to basic contact, scheduling, and service-inquiry information.
Established clients should use the communication methods provided to them for confidential clinical matters.
Contacting me by telephone or email does not, by itself, establish a therapist-client relationship.
Cookies and Website Analytics
This website may use cookies and similar technologies necessary for basic website operation.
If website analytics are used, information may be collected about how visitors interact with the website. No website analytics or tracking technology is intended to collect information for the purpose of providing mental-health treatment or maintaining clinical records.
Protected Health Information
Information maintained as part of an established professional counseling relationship is handled in accordance with applicable federal and state privacy laws.
Information regarding the use and disclosure of protected health information and your privacy rights is provided separately in my Notice of Privacy Practices.
Third-Party Websites
This website may contain links to websites or resources operated by third parties. I am not responsible for the content, privacy practices, security, or availability of those websites.
Security
Reasonable measures are taken to maintain the security of this website. However, no website, email system, or electronic method of communication can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Changes to This Policy
This Privacy Policy may be updated periodically to reflect changes in website functionality, technology, or applicable requirements. The effective date above identifies the current version.
