Privacy Policy & Notice of Privacy Practices

After the Rain Therapy LLC is committed to protecting the privacy and confidentiality of our website visitors and clients. This document outlines how we handle information collected on this website and summarizes our HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices for clinical services.

1. Website Visitor Privacy (Zero Tracking Policy)

We believe that mental health searches should remain completely private. Unlike many modern websites, our site is designed with a strict confidentiality-first approach:

• No Marketing Trackers: We do not use intrusive tracking scripts, such as Google Analytics, Meta Pixels, or other social media tracking codes, which share your browsing patterns and IP address with third-party advertisers.
• No Cookies: This website does not store tracking cookies on your computer or browser.
• Anonymity: You can browse our website, read our specialties, and explore our resources with complete anonymity.

2. General Contact Form Security (HIPAA Disclaimer)

We provide a general inquiry form on our homepage for questions regarding scheduling, services, or general fit. Please review the following safety measures:

• Non-Clinical Use Only: This contact form is for general, non-clinical scheduling inquiries. To protect your confidentiality under HIPAA regulations, please do not include private clinical details, medical histories, or sensitive symptoms in this form.
• SimplePractice Secure Portal: For secure, HIPAA-compliant messaging, online booking requests, intake documents, and clinical communication, you should use our secure client portal on SimplePractice at janel-halloff.clientsecure.me. SimplePractice is a secure, encrypted platform that complies fully with all federal healthcare privacy standards.
• Email Communication: Messages sent via the contact form are converted locally on your device into an email and sent directly to us. While our receiving email address is encrypted and secure, standard email transmission over the internet may not be 100% secure. By using the contact form, you acknowledge and consent to this limitation.

• Suspicion or evidence of abuse, neglect, or exploitation of a child, elderly person, or vulnerable adult.
• A valid, legally binding court order signed by a judge.
• Written authorization from you allowing disclosure to a designated individual (such as a doctor or family member).
