Privacy Policy for Daniel A. Goldstein, Psychotherapist in NYC
Your privacy is of utmost importance to Daniel A. Goldstein, LCSW. This policy outlines how your personal information is collected, used, and protected in my psychotherapy practice.
Information Collection and Use:
As a licensed clinical social worker, I am committed to maintaining the confidentiality of your personal and health information. Any information you share with me, whether through this website, during initial inquiries, or throughout our therapeutic relationship, is treated with the highest degree of privacy and in accordance with legal and ethical guidelines.
This website is primarily informational and does not directly collect sensitive personal health information. However, when you choose to “Book a Call” or contact me via email or phone, you may be providing personal information such as your name, email address, and phone number. This information is used solely to respond to your inquiries, schedule appointments, and facilitate our professional communication.
Confidentiality in Psychotherapy:
All communications within the therapeutic relationship are strictly confidential and protected by law, including HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) and state regulations. This means that, with very few exceptions as mandated by law (e.g., immediate threat of harm to self or others, child abuse, elder abuse, or court order), your information will not be disclosed without your explicit written consent.
Website Data:
- Contact Forms/Email: Information submitted through contact forms or directly via email (hello@danielagoldstein.com) is used to communicate with you and address your requests.
- Phone Calls: Information shared during phone calls (+1 (917) 859-5614) is for scheduling and preliminary discussions about your needs.
- Cookies: This website may use basic cookies to enhance user experience (e.g., remembering preferences). These cookies do not collect personally identifiable information.
- Analytics: Anonymous data about website traffic and usage may be collected to help improve the site’s functionality and content. This data does not identify individual users.
Data Security:
Reasonable technical, administrative, and physical safeguards are employed to protect the information collected through this website and within my practice. While no online transmission or electronic storage is 100% secure, I strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information.
Your Rights:
You have the right to access, amend, or request the deletion of your personal information, subject to legal and ethical obligations. You also have the right to request a copy of your protected health information.
Third-Party Links:
This website may contain links to other websites. Please be aware that I am not responsible for the content or privacy practices of such other sites. I encourage my users to be aware when they leave my site and to read the privacy statements of any other site that collects personally identifiable information.
