We aim to limit access to sensitive client information to individuals who need it for legitimate business or treatment purposes.

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide services, maintain treatment records, fulfill business obligations, resolve disputes, and comply with applicable laws.
Different categories of information may have different retention periods.
