PRIVACY POLICY
Last Updated: May 1, 2026
Jessica Pavelka Counseling, LLC is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how I collect, use, and safeguard your information when you visit this website.
Important: This Privacy Policy applies only to information collected through this website. Any protected health information shared during counseling services is governed by a separate Notice of Privacy Practices, which is provided to clients as required by law.
1. Your Legal Rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights under data protection laws, including the right to request access to your personal data, to request correction or deletion, to restrict or object to processing, and to request data portability. Where processing is based on your consent, you also have the right to withdraw that consent at any time.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact me using the information provided below. I may request specific information to verify your identity before responding to your request. This is a security measure to prevent personal information from being disclosed to unauthorized individuals.
2. Information Collection and Use
I collect limited information to provide a responsive and secure experience on this website. You are not required to provide personal information to browse the site.
However, you may choose to provide personal information in the following ways:
Completing a contact form
Scheduling an appointment
Communicating via email or phone
Submitting payment for services
This information may include your name, email address, phone number, and any message you choose to include.
Payments are processed through a third-party platform that meets HIPAA security standards. For your security, please do not include credit card information in emails or contact forms.
This website may contain links to external sites. I am not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those websites.
3. Children’s Privacy
This website is not intended for children under the age of 13. I do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information through this site, please contact me so I can remove it.
4. Data Security
Reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards are used to protect the information submitted through this website.
In some cases, information may be shared with trusted third-party service providers (such as payment processors) solely to support the operation of this website and services. These providers are required to maintain the confidentiality and security of your information and are not permitted to use it for other purposes.
While efforts are made to protect your information, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is completely secure. Therefore, absolute security cannot be guaranteed.
5. Cookies and Analytics
This website may use cookies and a service such as Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site. This may include information such as pages visited, time spent on the site, and general geographic location based on IP address.
Google Analytics places a cookie on your browser to recognize repeat visits. This does not identify you personally. The information collected is used only to improve the website and services.
You can disable cookies through your browser settings if you prefer not to allow tracking.
