A legal disclaimer
At Life Compass Consulting, your privacy is of the utmost importance. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, protect, and disclose your personal information in connection with our individual and family communication consultations and related services. While these services are grounded in clinical experience, they are offered in an unofficial therapeutic capacity and are not a substitute for licensed mental health or medical treatment.

We may collect the following types of information:
-
Personal Identifiable Information (PII): Name, email, phone number, and relevant background details shared during consultations or intake.

Scheduling & Billing Information: Appointment history, payment details, and session notes for administrative purposes.

Voluntarily Shared Content: Information shared during consultations, emails, or journaling assignments.
-
Website Data (if applicable): Non-identifiable usage data such as IP address, browser type, and site interactions, collected through cookies or analytics tools.
Different jurisdictions have different legal obligations of what must be included in a Privacy Policy. You are responsible to make sure you are following the relevant legislation to your activities and location.
