Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 27, 2026
Embodied Illumination respects the privacy of the people who visit our website, reach out for support, participate in our professional offerings, and engage with our educational work.
This Privacy Policy explains what information may be collected through www.embodiedillumination.org, how that information may be used, and the choices available to you.
This policy applies to information collected through this website and related online forms. Information shared within psychotherapy or other covered clinical services may be subject to additional privacy protections and separate clinical policies.
Information we may collect
The information we collect depends on how you interact with the site.
You may choose to provide information such as:
Your name
Email address
Phone number
Professional credentials or role
The nature of your inquiry
Information you choose to include in a contact, consultation, training, or interest form
Registration or payment information when enrolling in a program or service
Communications you send directly to Embodied Illumination
We may also receive limited technical information automatically when you visit the website, including information such as your browser type, device type, approximate geographic region, referring website, pages visited, and general website activity.
This information may be collected through Squarespace and other services used to operate, secure, understand, and improve the website.
Please be thoughtful about what you submit online
Website forms and ordinary email are useful ways to begin a conversation, though they may not provide the same level of privacy as a secure clinical portal.
Please avoid including detailed medical, psychiatric, trauma, or other highly sensitive personal information in a general website inquiry.
You may simply let us know that you are interested in connecting and provide enough information for us to respond.
If you become a psychotherapy client, appropriate systems and procedures will be used for clinical communication and records.
How we use information
Information collected through this website may be used to:
Respond to questions and inquiries
Schedule consultations
Determine which Embodied Illumination service or team member may be appropriate for an inquiry
Provide requested information about psychotherapy, ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, psychedelic preparation and integration, professional consultation, supervision, training, or other offerings
Register participants for educational or professional programs
Process payments where applicable
Send updates or educational communications when you have chosen to receive them
Improve the website and understand how visitors use it
Maintain website security
Meet legal, ethical, professional, accounting, or regulatory obligations
We use personal information only for purposes reasonably connected to your interaction with Embodied Illumination.
Psychotherapy and protected health information
Information collected through this general website is different from information created or maintained as part of psychotherapy or other covered healthcare services.
If you become a psychotherapy client, information related to your clinical care may be protected by federal and state privacy laws and governed by separate informed consent documents, practice policies, and, where applicable, a Notice of Privacy Practices.
This website Privacy Policy does not replace those clinical privacy protections.
Submitting an inquiry through the website does not by itself establish a therapist-client relationship.
Email and contact forms
When you contact us through the website, the information you provide may be delivered through Squarespace or another service used to manage website communications.
We make reasonable efforts to protect these communications. Internet-based communication always carries some degree of privacy and security risk.
Please use general contact forms to begin a conversation rather than to transmit urgent, highly sensitive, or clinically detailed information.
Cookies and website analytics
Like many websites, Embodied Illumination may use cookies and similar technologies to help the site function properly and to understand how visitors interact with it.
These technologies may collect information such as:
Pages viewed
Time spent on the site
Device and browser information
General geographic information
Referral sources
Website interactions
Squarespace and other service providers may place cookies as part of operating the website.
Some cookies are necessary for website functionality. Others may support analytics, performance, or user experience.
Your browser may allow you to block, limit, or delete cookies. Doing so may affect how some portions of the website function.
Analytics
We may use website analytics to better understand how people find and use Embodied Illumination.
Analytics information is generally reviewed in aggregate and helps us understand which pages are useful, how visitors move through the website, and where the site may need improvement.
We do not use website analytics to make clinical decisions about individual visitors.
Email lists and educational communications
If you choose to subscribe to a newsletter, professional update, educational mailing list, or similar communication, we may use your name and email address to send those materials.
You may unsubscribe at any time by using the unsubscribe link included in the communication or by contacting us directly.
Choosing not to receive marketing or educational emails will not prevent you from receiving necessary communications related to an existing service, registration, transaction, or professional relationship.
Payments
When payment is available through the website, transactions may be processed by third-party payment providers.
Embodied Illumination generally does not receive or store complete credit card information directly. Payment providers may collect and process financial information according to their own privacy and security practices.
We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any payment service you use.
Third-party services
Embodied Illumination may rely on third-party companies to help operate the website and provide services.
These may include services for:
Website hosting
Scheduling
Email communication
Newsletter delivery
Payment processing
Analytics
Video conferencing
Registration
Forms
Professional education platforms
These providers may receive limited information necessary to perform their services.
Their handling of information is also governed by their own privacy policies and terms.
Links to other websites
This website may include links to research, educational resources, podcasts, professional organizations, partner organizations, or other external websites.
Once you leave Embodied Illumination's website, the privacy practices of the external website apply.
We are not responsible for the content, security, or privacy practices of third-party websites.
How we share information
Embodied Illumination does not sell personal information.
Information may be shared with service providers when reasonably necessary to operate the website or provide a service you requested.
Information may also be disclosed when required by law, legal process, professional obligation, or when reasonably necessary to protect the rights, safety, or security of Embodied Illumination or others.
Clinical information is subject to additional confidentiality requirements when a clinical relationship has been established.
Data security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect information collected through the website.
No website, email system, database, or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
We therefore encourage visitors to use care when deciding what information to transmit through general website forms or ordinary email.
How long we retain information
Information may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to an inquiry, provide a requested service, maintain appropriate business records, meet professional or legal obligations, resolve disputes, or protect legitimate organizational interests.
Different types of information may have different retention requirements.
Clinical records are maintained according to applicable professional, ethical, and legal requirements and are governed separately from general website data.
Your choices
Depending on where you live and the laws that apply, you may have rights related to your personal information.
These may include the ability to request:
Access to certain personal information we maintain about you
Correction of inaccurate information
Deletion of certain information
Information about how your personal data has been used
Withdrawal from optional marketing communications
Some information may need to be retained because of legal, professional, contractual, or clinical recordkeeping requirements.
