Privacy Policy

1. Our Orientation Toward Privacy

Steady Soul is committed to discretion, restraint, and care in the handling of personal information. Privacy is not treated as a technical requirement alone, but as an extension of the values that govern the work itself.

This policy describes how information is collected, used, and protected when you visit this website or engage with the practice.

2. Information We Collect

We collect only what is necessary to support intentional communication and engagement.

This may include:

  • Name and contact information voluntarily provided through the contact page

  • Basic information shared in written correspondence

  • Technical information automatically collected by the website (such as browser type or page visits), used solely to understand site performance

We do not collect sensitive personal, medical, or financial information through this website.

Written correspondence is handled with care and discretion. Clients are encouraged to use their own judgment when sharing sensitive information electronically.

3. How Information Is Used

Information is used only for purposes consistent with the nature of the practice, including:

  • Responding to inquiries

  • Communicating about potential or active engagements

  • Maintaining internal records related to the work

Information is not used for marketing lists, automated outreach, or unsolicited communication.

Any notes maintained in the course of the engagement are brief, reflective, and used solely to support continuity of the work.

4. Confidentiality and Discretion

When working with families or multiple parties, confidentiality is held carefully. Information shared by one party is not assumed to be shared with others unless explicitly agreed.

Any information shared through direct correspondence is treated with discretion and respect. Information is not shared with third parties except:

  • where required by law, or

  • where there is a credible concern of harm to the individual or others

Discretion is understood as a mutual value of engagement.

5. Data Storage and Security

Reasonable measures are taken to protect information from unauthorized access, misuse, or disclosure. Digital correspondence is stored using secure, reputable platforms appropriate for private professional work.

While no system can guarantee absolute security, care is taken to limit access and retain information only as long as necessary.

Video sessions are not recorded. Clients are encouraged to join from a private setting and to ensure that conversations cannot be overheard. The presence of additional parties during sessions is discussed and agreed upon in advance.

6. Cookies and Website Analytics

This website may use minimal analytics or cookies to understand general site usage and improve functionality. These tools do not identify individual visitors and are not used for tracking across other websites.

You may adjust your browser settings to limit or disable cookies if you prefer.
