Website Privacy Policy | Sidequests And Sketchbooks

WEBSITE PRIVACY POLICY

Effective Date: August 15, 2026

Sidequests and Sketchbooks, LLC respects your privacy. This policy explains what information may be collected through www.sidequestsandsketchbooks.com, how it may be used, and the choices available to you.

This policy applies to this public website and the Quest Log interest form. Once you become a client, protected health information related to your care is also governed by the Notice of Privacy Practices provided through the secure SimplePractice Client Portal.

INFORMATION YOU CHOOSE TO PROVIDE

When you complete the Quest Log or otherwise contact the practice, you may provide information such as:

• Your name and contact information
• Your age or age range
• Your location
• Your availability and communication preferences
• Information about what you are experiencing or why you are seeking therapy
• Any other information you choose to include

You do not need to provide your entire history through the Quest Log. Please share only what is reasonably necessary for me to understand your inquiry and respond.

INFORMATION COLLECTED AUTOMATICALLY

Wix and its service providers may automatically collect limited technical information when you visit the website. This may include your IP address, browser or device type, pages visited, approximate location, timestamps, cookies, and security or system logs.

This information may be used to operate and protect the website, prevent misuse, troubleshoot problems, and understand general website functioning.

HOW YOUR INFORMATION MAY BE USED

Information collected through this website may be used to:

• Review and respond to your inquiry
• Determine whether the practice may fit what you are looking for
• Offer or schedule a consultation
• Communicate about next steps
• Operate, maintain, and protect the website
• Meet legal, ethical, licensing, or regulatory responsibilities

Submitting the Quest Log does not create a therapist client relationship and does not guarantee that services will be offered.

HEALTH INFORMATION AND SECURITY

The Quest Log is hosted through Wix using activated protected health information safeguards. Sidequests and Sketchbooks, LLC has entered into a Business Associate Agreement with Wix.

Reasonable administrative and technical safeguards are used to protect information submitted through the website. However, no website or electronic transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

If you become a client, relevant information may be transferred to or documented within the secure SimplePractice Client Portal and clinical record. Information connected to your treatment will then be handled according to the practice’s Notice of Privacy Practices.

HOW INFORMATION MAY BE SHARED

Sidequests and Sketchbooks, LLC does not sell personal or protected health information. Information submitted through the Quest Log is not used for advertising or fundraising.

Information may be shared only when reasonably necessary:

• With service providers that support website hosting, secure forms, communications, scheduling, or practice operations
• When you authorize or request the disclosure
• When required or permitted by law
• When necessary to address an immediate safety concern or emergency
• To protect the rights, security, or operation of the practice or website

Service providers may include Wix and SimplePractice. Each provider maintains its own privacy and security practices.

Wix may use cookies and similar technologies that are necessary for website functionality, security, accessibility, and form operation. Your browser may allow you to block or delete cookies, although doing so may prevent parts of the website from working correctly.

COMMUNICATION

If you submit the Quest Log, I may respond using the email address or telephone number you provide. Standard email, voicemail, and text messaging may not be fully secure. Sensitive information should be shared through the secure SimplePractice Client Portal once portal access has been established.

The Quest Log and website messages are not monitored continuously and must not be used for emergencies or urgent support.

If you are in immediate danger, experiencing a medical or psychiatric emergency, or unable to remain safe, call 911, call or text 988, or go to the nearest emergency department.

CHILDREN’S PRIVACY

This practice serves some clients who are minors. If you are under 13, please do not submit personal information through this website yourself. Ask a parent or legal guardian to complete the Quest Log or contact the practice on your behalf.

RETENTION OF INFORMATION

Website inquiry information may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to respond, manage practice operations, maintain appropriate records, protect the practice, or meet legal and professional obligations. Information may later be deleted or securely disposed of when it is no longer needed, subject to applicable recordkeeping requirements.

YOUR CHOICES

You may contact the practice to ask about personal information you submitted through the website or to request that it be corrected or deleted. Some information may need to be retained when required by law, professional obligations, security needs, or legitimate recordkeeping purposes.

EXTERNAL LINKS

This website may link to SimplePractice or other websites and services. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies. Sidequests and Sketchbooks, LLC is not responsible for the content or privacy practices of external websites.

CHANGES TO THIS POLICY

This policy may be updated as the website, technology, or legal requirements change. The effective date at the top of the page will be revised when material changes are made.
