This policy explains how cyruspatten.com handles information. This is an informational website for the practice of Dr. Cyrus Patten, LICSW. It is not a portal for therapy, and it is not where clinical or protected health information is exchanged.
Analytics. This site uses Google Analytics and Metricool to understand how it's used, which pages people visit, general location, device type, and how they arrived (including which social post brought them here). This relies on cookies and collects anonymous usage data. Your name and email are never sent to either service. You can decline analytics using the cookie notice at the bottom of the site, or block cookies in your browser.
Advertising. This site uses the Meta Pixel so that ads for the practice can be shown on Instagram and Facebook to people who have visited the site (this is called retargeting), and so that sign-ups from those ads can be measured. The pixel relies on cookies and collects anonymous browsing data. Your name and email are never sent to Meta. It loads only when you accept the cookie notice, and declining turns it off.
Information you provide. If you book a call, take the check-in, request the guide, or subscribe to the newsletter, you provide your email address and anything you type into those forms. That information is handled by the third-party services that power each feature.
Each of these services has its own privacy practices, and information you submit through them is subject to their policies.
To understand and improve the site, to respond to you, to schedule calls, and to send only what you signed up for.
Your information is not sold or rented, and the details you give me (your name, email, and what you type into forms) are never used for advertising. The anonymous browsing data from the cookies described above may be used to show you ads for the practice on Instagram or Facebook. You can turn that off through the cookie notice.
You can decline analytics through the cookie notice, unsubscribe from any email at any time using the link in that email, and contact me with any question about your information.
This site is informational and is not a substitute for professional care or a crisis service. If you are in crisis or thinking about harming yourself, call or text 988 (the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline) or go to your nearest emergency room.
