Website Privacy Policy
MCS Counseling Center (Montesinos Counseling Services, LLC) respects the privacy of visitors to our website. This policy explains how information may be collected and used when you visit mcsjax.com.
This Website Privacy Policy applies to our public website and is separate from our Notice of Privacy Practices, which explains how we use and protect health information in connection with counseling services.
-
Like most websites, our website and service providers may automatically process certain technical information when you visit, such as your IP address, browser or device information, pages visited, referring source, and the date and time of your visit.
We use this information to operate and secure our website, understand general website traffic, improve the website, and evaluate the effectiveness of our outreach and advertising.
-
Our website is hosted by Squarespace. We use Squarespace's website analytics and Activity Log features to understand general website activity and performance.
We use settings designed to restrict non-essential cookies on our Squarespace website. Cookies or similar technologies that are necessary for website operation and security may still be used.
We also use Google Analytics for general website traffic and performance measurement and Google Ads to advertise our services and evaluate general advertising performance.
We do not intentionally provide names, email addresses, counseling intake information, diagnoses, treatment information, therapy records, or other protected health information to Google Analytics or Google Ads. We do not use protected health information for advertising purposes.
-
Our website includes an interactive therapist-matching tool provided through Tally. This tool allows visitors to review options and receive information that may help identify an MCS provider who could be a potential fit.
The therapist-matching tool is intended to assist with provider selection and is not our clinical intake, electronic health record, or client portal. We do not use selections made within the therapist-matching tool for advertising purposes.
Actual appointment scheduling, intake paperwork, and client portal services are provided through SimplePractice, our electronic health record and client portal platform. Information submitted through SimplePractice is handled separately from our public website analytics and is subject to applicable privacy and security protections.
Please do not submit confidential clinical or emergency information through general website functions when a secure client portal or other appropriate method is available.
-
We use third-party service providers to support website hosting, analytics, advertising, therapist matching, and scheduling. These providers may process information in connection with providing their services, subject to their respective privacy practices and our applicable agreements and configurations.
MCS Counseling Center does not sell protected health information.
-
Visiting our public website does not by itself establish a therapist-client relationship.
Information maintained by MCS Counseling Center in connection with providing healthcare services may be protected by federal and state privacy laws, including HIPAA. Please see our separate Notice of Privacy Practices for information about how protected health information is used and safeguarded.
-
We take reasonable steps to protect information associated with our website. However, no website or electronic transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
For confidential communications related to your care, please use the secure communication methods provided by MCS Counseling Center.
-
We may update this Website Privacy Policy as our website, technology, or privacy practices change.
