Website Privacy Policy

Scope

This Website Privacy Policy describes how the Vela Psychotherapy website (operated by Vela Marriage and Family Therapy Inc.) collects, uses, and protects information from visitors to this website. It is separate from our Notice of Privacy Practices, which governs protected health information for clients of the Practice.

Information we collect

  • Information you provide. If you submit our contact form, we collect the information you enter, limited to your name, phone number, email address, and preferred contact times. Please do not include clinical or health information in the form.
  • Technical information. Our website host automatically collects limited technical data necessary to operate the site, such as IP address, browser type, and pages visited, through strictly necessary cookies.

Tracking technologies

Because visits to a therapy website can reveal sensitive information, this website does not use advertising pixels, remarketing tags, or third-party behavioral advertising trackers (such as the Meta Pixel). We do not sell or share website visitor information for advertising purposes.

How we use information

Contact form submissions are used solely to respond to your inquiry and schedule services. Technical data is used to operate, secure, and maintain the website. We do not sell visitor information.

How information is shared

Website data is processed by our website hosting provider under its data processing terms. Contact form submissions are transmitted to the Practice and are not shared with third parties except as required by law.

Your choices and rights

You may browse this website without submitting any personal information. You may request that we delete contact form information you submitted by emailing jonathan@velamft.com. California residents may have additional rights under California law; to exercise them, contact us at the email above. We do not respond differently to browser "Do Not Track" signals because we do not track visitors across third-party websites.

Security and retention

We use reasonable safeguards to protect website information. Contact form submissions are retained only as long as needed to respond to your inquiry or as required by law. No internet transmission is completely secure; please use the form for scheduling inquiries only.

Children

This website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children through this website.

Changes and contact

We may update this policy and will post the revised version here with a new effective date. Effective date: January 1, 2026. Questions: jonathan@velamft.com | (424) 262-2979.
