This policy explains what personal information I collect through aycinhypnotherapy.com and while providing online hypnotherapy services, how I use it, and the choices you have. Aycin Hypnotherapy is operated by Aycin Caki (“I” or “me”) in the San Francisco Bay Area, California. You can reach me at aycin@aycinhypnotherapy.com or (669) 221 4625.
Information I collect
What you give me. When you fill in the booking or contact form, I receive your first and last name, email address, phone number, the service you are interested in, and your message. If you email, call, or message me (for example on WhatsApp, where WhatsApp handles messages under its own privacy policy), or book and attend a session, I also receive whatever you choose to share, such as your goals, background, and anything relevant to how you would like to work together.
Payment details. If you pay by card or through an online payment service, the payment is handled by that third-party provider, and I do not see or store your full card number.
Technical information. Like most websites, the site and its hosting provider automatically receive basic technical data such as your IP address, browser type, device, and the pages you visit. This is used to keep the site running, secure, and working well.
How I use your information
- To answer your questions and respond to booking requests
- To schedule and deliver sessions, classes, and programs, and to send reminders and follow-ups about them
- To process payments and keep business records
- To keep client notes so that your sessions build on one another
- To maintain and improve the website, and to meet legal and professional obligations
Your sessions and records
Sessions take place over a video call (for example Zoom). I record sessions with your verbal consent so that you can listen to them again, and I send you a copy. What you share in sessions and in your client records is kept confidential and stored securely. I keep records for as long as I need them to provide services and to meet legal and professional obligations, then delete them securely. The limits of confidentiality are described in the Terms & Conditions.
Who I share information with
I do not sell or rent your personal information, and I do not share it for advertising. I share it only with service providers who help me run the practice, and only for that purpose: website hosting, email (Google Workspace), video conferencing, scheduling, and payment processing. I may also disclose information when the law requires it, or when it is necessary to protect someone from serious harm (see the Terms & Conditions, section on confidentiality).
Cookies
The website uses cookies and similar technologies that are needed for it to work properly. If I add analytics or marketing tools in the future, I will update this policy and ask for your consent where the law requires it. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, although parts of the site may not work as intended.
Security
I use reasonable measures to protect your information, such as password-protected accounts and reputable service providers. No method of storing or sending information is completely secure, so please do not send anything urgent or highly sensitive by email or through the website forms.
Your choices and rights
You can ask me to show you the personal information I hold about you, correct it, or delete it. To the extent California privacy law (CCPA/CPRA) applies, California residents have the right to know what personal information is collected, to request its deletion or correction, and to opt out of its sale or sharing. I do not sell or share personal information. Email me to make a request. I may need to confirm your identity first, and I will respond within 45 days.
Children
My services and this website are intended for adults. I work with clients under 18 only with the signed consent of a parent or legal guardian, who may use the rights described above on the child’s behalf. I do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18 without that consent. If you believe a child has sent me information without a parent’s or guardian’s consent, contact me and I will delete it.
Where I operate
I am based in California, USA, and your information is handled there and by the service providers listed above. If you contact me from another country, your information will be transferred to and processed in the United States.
Links to other sites
The website may link to other sites. I am not responsible for their privacy practices, so please read their policies.
Changes to this policy
I may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top shows when it was last changed.
