You may provide information directly when you submit the website Contact form or subscribe to email updates. Depending on the form you use, this may include your name, email address, the reason for contacting Dr. Wagner, and the contents of your message.
If you subscribe to Managing Life’s Transitions, your email address is transmitted to Brevo, the email-list and marketing service used for subscription management. The subscription process uses email confirmation (double opt-in). We do not sell, rent, or trade our email subscription list to third parties for their own marketing purposes. You may unsubscribe at any time using the unsubscribe link included in our emails.
The Site is built on WordPress. Like most websites, the Site and its hosting, security, performance, analytics, or embedded-service providers may automatically process technical information when you visit. This may include IP address, browser and device information, pages visited, referring pages, and cookies or similar technologies. The specific technologies and service providers used may change as the Site is maintained.
We use the information we collect to:
The Site Contact form is intended for general inquiries and is not designed as a secure clinical intake system. Please do not submit Social Security numbers, insurance identifiers, detailed medical records, or other highly sensitive clinical information through the general website Contact form. If you are a current or prospective patient, appropriate methods for exchanging clinical information can be discussed directly with Deborah.
Information collected in connection with professional psychological services is subject to separate professional, ethical, legal, privacy, and recordkeeping obligations and to practice documents provided to patients. Depending on the circumstances, additional federal or state privacy requirements may apply.
This Website Privacy Policy governs interactions with the public website and is not a substitute for any Notice of Privacy Practices, informed consent, professional policies, or other clinical privacy documentation applicable to patient information. If a current Notice of Privacy Practices is made available on the Site, it should be treated as a separate clinical document.
We rely on third-party service providers to operate, secure, maintain, analyze, and support the Site and its communications. These may include website hosting and content-management providers; security, spam-prevention, backup, and performance services; analytics providers; email-delivery and subscription-management services such as Brevo; and other technical service providers. These providers may process information on our behalf or in connection with providing their services, subject to their own terms, privacy practices, and applicable agreements.
The Site also contains links to external third-party websites, including book retailers such as Amazon and Barnes & Noble. We do not control the privacy practices of third-party sites. When you follow an external link, that third party’s privacy policy and terms apply.
The Site may use cookies and similar technologies for functionality, security, performance, spam prevention, analytics, and embedded features. These technologies may collect information such as pages visited, approximate geographic information, referring sources, browser and device information, and interactions with the Site.
The Site may use third-party analytics services, such as Google Analytics, to help us understand general website usage and performance. These services may use cookies or similar technologies and may process information in accordance with their own privacy practices.
The specific technologies and service providers used by the Site may change as the Site is maintained and improved. You can manage cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect some Site functionality.
We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, maintain appropriate business records, comply with applicable obligations, or resolve disputes. Subscription information may be retained until you unsubscribe, request removal, or it is otherwise removed in accordance with applicable procedures.
You may choose not to submit information through website forms. Email subscribers may opt out at any time using the unsubscribe link in our marketing emails. Depending on applicable law, you may also have rights concerning access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information you have provided through the Site, subject to applicable legal, professional, and recordkeeping requirements.
The Site is intended for a general adult audience and is not designed to knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13 through newsletter subscriptions or general website forms. If we become aware that a child under 13 has provided personal information through these features, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.
We use reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect information associated with the Site. However, no website, content-management platform, email system, or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
We may update this Privacy Policy as the Site, our service providers, our practices, or applicable requirements change. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page will be revised when changes are made.
