Website Privacy Policy
Last Updated: July 2026
A Quiet Knowing Counseling LLC (“we," "our," or "us") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you visit our website www.aquietknowing.com (the "Site").
This policy applies only to information collected through this website or sent directly to our listed email address. It does not apply to Protected Health Information (PHI) collected during formal therapy sessions or within our secure client portal, which is governed separately by our HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices.
Information We Collect
We may collect information about you in the following ways:
Information You Provide Via Email: Our website does not host contact or intake forms. However, we list a direct email address in our footer. If you choose to contact us via email, we collect your email address and any personal, contact, or clinical details you voluntarily choose to include in your message.
Automated Information: When you browse the Site, we automatically collect certain technical data through cookies and standard web logging. This includes your IP address, browser type, pages viewed, and the date/time of your visit.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information collected through our website to:
-Respond to your direct email inquiries, questions, or requests for information.
-Provide you with information regarding our services.
-Improve and optimize our website performance and user experience.
Sharing and Handling Your Data
We do not sell, rent, or trade your website data or email information to third parties. We may share your information only with trusted third-party service providers (such as our email hosting provider or website platform) who help us operate our business, provided they agree to keep this information confidential and secure.
All formal scheduling, intake documentation, and ongoing clinical communication are managed securely off-site through SimplePractice, an external, HIPAA-compliant practice management platform.
Cookies and Tracking
Our website uses standard "cookies" to enhance your browsing experience. Cookies are small data files stored on your device. You can choose to disable cookies through your individual browser settings, though doing so may affect how certain parts of our website function.
Data Security and Email Risks
We implement standard security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information. However, please be aware that standard email is not an inherently secure or encrypted method of communication. By choosing to send us clinical or personal information via email, you accept the security risks of doing so. For secure communication, please request access to our client portal.
Third-Party Links and Client Portal
Our website links directly to SimplePractice for scheduling and client communication. Once you click a link to enter the client portal, you are leaving our website. Any data you enter into that portal is governed by our HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices and SimplePractice's security policies, rather than this website policy.
Changes to This Policy
We reserve the right to update this Privacy Policy at any time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date.
