Privacy Policy

Ask HER Advise respects the personal information shared by website visitors and individuals requesting or participating in a session.

The website and its service providers may automatically collect limited technical and usage information, including:

  • IP address

  • Browser type

  • Device type

  • Operating system

  • Pages visited

  • Links selected

  • Referring website

  • Approximate location derived from an IP address

  • Dates and times of website activity

  • Cookie and analytics information

This information may be used to operate, secure, maintain, and understand the general use of the website.

How Information Is Used

Personal information may be used to:

  • Review a Request a Session submission

  • Determine whether a situation falls within the scope of HER

  • Communicate regarding a request

  • Schedule and conduct a session

  • Process payments

  • Provide confirmations or administrative notices

Information provided for a session will not be used to provide unrelated marketing communications unless the individual separately agrees to receive them.

Website, Scheduling, and Payment Providers

The Ask HER Advise website is hosted through Squarespace.

Scheduling, forms, email delivery, analytics, payment processing, video communication, or other website functions may be provided by connected third-party services. These providers may receive information necessary to perform their services.

Payment information is processed by the payment provider displayed during checkout. Full payment-card details are generally handled by the payment processor rather than stored directly by Ask HER Advise.

Each outside provider maintains its own privacy and security practices. Individuals should review the policies displayed by those providers when using their services.

Sharing Information

Ask HER Advise does not sell or rent personal information.

Information may be shared only as reasonably necessary with:

  • Website-hosting providers

  • Scheduling providers

  • Payment processors

  • Email and communication providers

  • Technology or security providers

  • Accounting or administrative service providers

  • Government authorities or other parties when disclosure is required by law

  • Professional advisers when necessary to protect the business or respond to a legal matter

Service providers are given access only to information reasonably necessary to perform the applicable function.

Confidentiality

Ask HER Advise treats personal communications and session information with care. Information will not be intentionally disclosed to unrelated parties except with the individual’s permission, when required by law, when necessary to process or administer the service, or when reasonably necessary to address fraud, threats, safety concerns, or misuse.

A HER session does not create attorney-client, therapist-client, physician-patient, or another legally privileged professional relationship. Communications should not be assumed to carry the legal protections that may apply to those relationships.

Data Retention

Personal information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary to:

  • Review and administer requests

  • Conduct sessions

  • Maintain appropriate business records

  • Resolve payment questions or disputes

  • Meet tax, accounting, insurance, or legal obligations

  • Protect the rights and security of Ask HER Advise and its users

Information that is no longer reasonably necessary may be deleted, anonymized, or securely disposed of.

Data Security

Reasonable administrative and technical measures are used to protect personal information.

No website, email system, payment system, cloud service, or electronic transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Individuals should use care when deciding what information to submit electronically.

Cookies and Analytics

The website may use cookies and similar technologies that allow the site to function, remember preferences, measure website activity, and maintain security.

Necessary cookies may operate automatically because they are required for the website to function.

Where required, visitors will be given an opportunity to accept or decline nonessential analytics or marketing cookies through the website’s cookie settings or consent banner.

Browser settings may also allow visitors to block or delete cookies. Blocking necessary cookies may affect how the website functions.

Personal Information Requests

Subject to applicable law, an individual may request to:

  • Know what personal information has been collected

  • Correct inaccurate contact information

  • Request deletion of personal information

  • Withdraw consent for optional communications

A request may be submitted through the Contact page of the Ask HER Advise website.

Ask HER Advise may need to verify the requester’s identity before completing a request. Certain information may be retained when necessary for legal, accounting, security, transaction, or dispute-resolution purposes.

Age Requirement

Ask HER Advise services are intended for individuals who are at least 18 years old.

The website and Request a Session form are not directed to children, and Ask HER Advise does not knowingly accept session requests from anyone under 18.

Outside Links

The website may contain links to third-party websites. Ask HER Advise does not control and is not responsible for the privacy, security, accuracy, or content of an outside website.

Changes to This Policy

This Privacy Policy may be revised when website practices, service providers, or legal requirements change.

The effective date displayed at the beginning of the policy will identify the current version.
