Website Privacy Policy

EFFECTIVE DATE: 4 AUGUST 2026

1. Introduction and Scope

This Website Privacy Policy explains how Anthony Michael Rimac Jr, (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, discloses, and protects personal information obtained through anthonyrimac.com and any pages that link to this policy (collectively, the “Website”).

This policy applies to information collected through the public Website, including information submitted through the Website contact form. It does not replace our Notice of Privacy Practices. If you become a client or patient, protected health information maintained by the clinical practice may be governed by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (“HIPAA”), the California Confidentiality of Medical Information Act, other applicable confidentiality laws, and our Notice of Privacy Practices.

2. Important Notice About the Contact Form and Health Information

The Website contact form is intended only for general inquiries, such as asking about services, availability, fees, or scheduling an initial consultation. It is not a secure client portal and is not intended for detailed clinical or medical information.

Please do not use the Website contact form to submit diagnoses, symptoms, medications, insurance or payment information, treatment records, trauma histories, or other sensitive health information. Please provide only the minimum information reasonably necessary for us to respond to your inquiry.

The Website contact form is not monitored continuously and must not be used for urgent or emergency communications. Submitting a form does not create a therapist-client relationship and does not guarantee that services will be offered. A therapist-client relationship is formed only after the parties complete the practice’s intake and consent process and the clinician agrees to provide services.

If you are an existing client, use the communication method we have designated for client communications, such as the SimplePractice client portal, or another approved secure method. Communications through those systems may also be governed by separate consent forms and our Notice of Privacy Practices.

3. Information We Collect

A. Information You Provide Directly

When you submit the Website contact form, email us, call us, or otherwise communicate with us through the Website, we may collect:

  • Your name.

  • Your email address.

  • Your telephone number.

  • Your preferred method and time of contact.

  • The general nature of your inquiry and any information you choose to include in your message.

  • Any other information you voluntarily provide.

Please do not submit Social Security numbers, financial account numbers, payment-card information, government identification numbers, or detailed health information through the public contact form.

B. Information Collected Automatically

When you visit the Website, Squarespace and any enabled analytics or security services may automatically collect information such as:

  • Your Internet Protocol (IP) address and approximate location derived from it.

  • Information about your browser, operating system, network, and device.

  • The webpage or source that referred you to the Website.

  • Pages viewed on the Website and the dates and times of visits.

  • Clicks, internal links, searches, scrolling activity, and other interactions with the Website.

  • Cookie identifiers and similar technical information.

  • Information used to detect fraud, abuse, malicious activity, and technical problems.

C. Information From Third-Party Services

If you follow a link to, interact with, or use a third-party service made available through the Website, such as SimplePractice, an embedded map, a video provider, or a social-media service, that service may collect information directly from you under its own privacy policy. We may receive information from a third party when necessary to respond to your request or provide a service you initiated.

4. How We Use Personal Information

We may use personal information collected through the Website to:

  • Operate, maintain, secure, troubleshoot, and improve the Website.

  • Respond to inquiries and communicate with you about services, availability, consultations, and scheduling.

  • Determine whether the services offered may be appropriate and whether we have availability to respond to your request.

  • Maintain administrative records of inquiries and communications.

  • Understand Website traffic and how visitors use the Website.

  • Prevent fraud, misuse, security incidents, and other harmful activity.

  • Comply with applicable laws, regulations, professional obligations, legal process, and enforceable governmental requests.

  • Establish, exercise, or defend legal claims and protect the rights, safety, and property of visitors, clients, the practice, and others.

We do not use contact-form information for unrelated advertising or sell it to data brokers.

5. Cookies, Analytics, and Similar Technologies

The Website is hosted by Squarespace. Squarespace uses necessary cookies and similar technologies to securely provide and operate the Website. These technologies may collect browser, network, device, IP-address, and Website-usage information.

We use Squarespace analytics and performance cookies only after you make the applicable choice through our cookie banner. These tools help us understand Website traffic and activity.

You may be able to control nonessential cookies through the Website cookie banner and through your browser settings. Blocking or deleting some cookies may affect certain Website features. Third-party content or integrations may place their own cookies or collect information under their own policies.

6. How We Disclose Personal Information

We may disclose personal information in the following circumstances:

  • Website hosting and operation. We provide information to Squarespace as needed for Squarespace to host, operate, secure, protect, and improve the Website and provide Website-related services.

  • Form delivery and storage. Contact-form submissions may be processed or stored by Squarespace and by the destination selected for form submissions, such as an email provider or other storage service.

  • Service providers. We may disclose information to vendors that perform services for us, such as website administration, information technology, security, email, data storage, professional support, and analytics, subject to appropriate contractual and legal restrictions when required.

  • Professional advisers. We may disclose information to attorneys, accountants, insurers, compliance professionals, or other advisers when reasonably necessary for professional services or risk management.

  • Legal requirements and safety. We may disclose information when we reasonably believe disclosure is required by law, regulation, subpoena, court order, professional obligation, or other lawful process, or when reasonably necessary to protect rights, safety, or property.

  • Business changes. Information may be transferred in connection with a reorganization, merger, sale, transfer, or other change involving all or part of the practice or Website, subject to applicable confidentiality and legal obligations.

  • With your direction or consent. We may disclose information when you ask us to or authorize us to do so.

Website contact-form submissions are delivered to or stored in Gmail.

7. Sale, Sharing, and Direct Marketing

We do not sell personal information for money. We do not share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising, and we do not disclose personal information to third parties for their own direct-marketing purposes. We do not knowingly use advertising pixels, retargeting tools, or session-replay tools on pages that collect inquiries or other information from prospective or current clients.

If these practices change, we will update this policy and provide any notices or choices required by applicable law before using personal information in the new manner.

8. Do Not Track, Global Privacy Control, and Third-Party Tracking

Some browsers offer “Do Not Track” signals. Because there is not a universally accepted standard for responding to those signals, the Website does not currently respond to Do Not Track as a separate browser instruction. Visitors may control available nonessential cookies through our cookie banner and browser settings.

We do not use personal information collected through the Website for cross-site behavioral advertising. Squarespace and any third-party content or services enabled on the Website may collect information about your interactions with the Website and may process that information under their own privacy policies. Where applicable law requires us to recognize an opt-out preference signal, such as Global Privacy Control, we will process the signal as required by law.

9. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including responding to inquiries, maintaining appropriate administrative records, complying with legal and professional obligations, resolving disputes, and protecting the security and integrity of our systems. Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and the reason it was collected.

If an inquiry leads to a therapist-client relationship, relevant information may become part of the clinical or business record and may be retained in accordance with applicable health-information, licensing, professional, tax, insurance, and record-retention requirements. Requests concerning clinical records are governed by our Notice of Privacy Practices and applicable law.

10. Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards appropriate to the nature of the information we maintain. However, no website, email system, contact form, transmission method, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You should avoid sending sensitive information through the public Website or ordinary email.

11. Your Choices and Requests

You may contact us to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information that you submitted through the Website. We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request. We may deny or limit a request when permitted or required by law, including when information must be retained for legal, professional, security, recordkeeping, or dispute-resolution purposes.

To submit a Website privacy request, contact: Anthony Michael Rimac Jr at anthony@joelatuga.com or 510-544-0884.

This section applies to Website information. Requests concerning protected health information or clinical records should be made under the process described in our Notice of Privacy Practices.

12. California Privacy Disclosures

California law requires operators of commercial websites that collect personally identifiable information from California consumers to disclose their online information practices. The categories of information we may collect are described in Section 3. The categories of third parties with whom information may be disclosed are described in Section 6. Our process for requesting review or correction is described in Section 11. Our response to browser privacy signals and third-party tracking is described in Section 8.

We do not disclose personal information to third parties for those third parties’ own direct-marketing purposes. We do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.

Certain California privacy laws apply only to businesses that meet specified statutory thresholds. To the extent a California privacy right applies to us, we will honor verified requests and provide the notices and choices required by applicable law.

13. Children’s Privacy

The Website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information online directly from children under 13 without appropriate authorization. A parent or legal guardian who believes a child has submitted personal information may contact us using the information in Section 16.

14. Third-Party Websites and Services

The Website may contain links to third-party websites or services. We do not control and are not responsible for the privacy, security, content, or practices of those third parties. Review the privacy policy of any third-party website or service before providing information to it.

15. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time to reflect changes in our Website, practices, services, technology, or legal obligations. We will post the revised policy on this page and update the “Last Updated” date. If a change is material, we may provide additional notice on the Website or through another appropriate method. The revised policy becomes effective on the stated effective date.
