Website Privacy Policy & Legal Disclaimer

Effective Date: May 25, 2026

Tempe Trails LLC ("we," "us," or "our") operates the website www.tempetrails.com (the "Site"). This page informs you of our policies regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information we receive from users of the Site, as well as important professional disclaimers required for behavioral health practices in the State of Arizona.

By using the Site or submitting information through our contact forms, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

1. No Therapist-Client Relationship Established

The information contained on this Site is for informational and educational purposes only. It should not be considered professional psychological or medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

CRITICAL NOTE: Reading this website, contacting us via telephone, email, or submitting an inquiry through our online contact form does not establish a formal therapist-client relationship. A therapist-client relationship is only formed after you and your therapist have both signed a formal Informed Consent agreement and intake paperwork.

2. Emergency and Crisis Disclaimer

This website and its contact forms are for routine, non-emergency inquiries only. Do not use the contact form on this website if you are experiencing a mental health emergency. If you are experiencing a crisis or a life-threatening emergency, please utilize one of the following resources immediately:

  • Call or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.

  • Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.

  • Arizona Residents: Call the Arizona Crisis Line at 1-844-534-4673 (HOPE).

3. Information Collection and Use

A. Contact Form & SimplePractice

Our website features an inquiry and intake form designed for potential new clients. This form is securely powered by SimplePractice, a third-party Electronic Health Record (EHR) platform.

  • What we collect: When you use this form, we collect personal information you choose to provide, such as your name, email address, phone number, and brief notes regarding your inquiry.

  • How it is secured: Because this form transmits data directly to SimplePractice, it is encrypted and handled in compliance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). SimplePractice operates under a strict Business Associate Agreement (BAA) with us to safeguard your information.

B. Google Analytics & Cookies

Like many website operators, we use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our Site (e.g., pages viewed, time spent on site, and geographical location data).

  • Cookies: Google Analytics uses "cookies," which are small text files placed on your computer, to collect standard internet log information and visitor behavior information in an anonymous form.

  • Your Control: You can choose to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. You may also download the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on to prevent your data from being used by Google Analytics.

4. Jurisdiction and Telehealth Notice

Tempe Trails LLC operates out of Arizona. In accordance with Arizona Board of Behavioral Health Examiners (AZBBHE) regulations and state law, psychological and counseling services can only be delivered to clients who are physically located in the State of Arizona at the time of the session (unless otherwise permitted by interstate compacts or specific out-of-state regulatory allowances). This website is not intended to solicit clients outside of our lawful jurisdiction.

5. Data Security and Breach Notification

We take the security of your information seriously and utilize appropriate administrative and technical safeguards. In the highly unlikely event of a security breach involving your personal data, we adhere to the Arizona Data Breach Notification Law (A.R.S. § 18-551), which mandates investigation and notification timelines to affected individuals and appropriate state agencies where required.

6. Links to Other Websites

Our Site may contain links to other websites of interest (such as mental health resources or professional organizations). Once you use these links to leave our site, please note that we do not have any control over that external website. Therefore, we cannot be responsible for the protection and privacy of any information you provide while visiting such sites.

7. HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices

While this Website Privacy Policy governs your use of our public website, our handling of Protected Health Information (PHI) for active or incoming psychotherapy clients is strictly governed by HIPAA federal regulations and Arizona healthcare laws.
