🔒 Clinical Practice & HIPAA Privacy Note
Important Clinical Notice: This website serves solely as an informational and routing portal. My website servers do not collect, host, or store sensitive medical information, intake notes, or insurance cards. For detailed information regarding clinical patient privacy, medical records, and HIPAA compliance, please refer directly to the Notice of Privacy Practices provided to you securely during your official intake onboarding process via SimplePractice.
Who I Am
My website address is: https://counselingok.com. The practice is legally registered as Counseling Oklahoma and Educational Services, LLC, and is solely owned and operated by me, Derek Minor, MA, LPC Supervisor.
Information Collection and Use
When you use the general contact form on this website to ask a question, I collect basic information such as your name, email address, and the contents of your message in order to reply to your inquiry.
All official consultation requests, intake forms, and document uploads (such as insurance cards) are processed entirely through a secure, embedded third-party HIPAA-compliant widget (SimplePractice). That sensitive data is never stored on or transmitted through this website’s hosting server.
Cookies
I use basic configuration cookies to optimize website performance and ensure page stability. If you visit my site, standard session cookies verify browser compatibility. These contain no personal data and are instantly discarded when you close your web browser.
Embedded Content From Other Websites
Pages on this site may include embedded operational content (specifically my scheduling calendar widgets). Embedded content from third-party websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website directly.
These external platforms (such as SimplePractice) may collect data about you, use tracking cookies, embed additional third-party tracking mechanisms, and monitor your interaction with that embedded layout according to their own privacy and HIPAA guidelines.
Who I Share Your Data With
I do not sell, rent, or distribute your data to third-party advertisers or marketers. Data collected via the contact form on this website is strictly utilized to respond to your inquiries. Technical system logs may be checked via automated internal spam detection tools to ensure site security.
What Rights You Have Over Your Data
If you submit an inquiry via this website’s contact form, you can request to receive an exported file of the general administrative personal data I hold about you (your name and email). You can also request that I erase any administrative personal data I hold about you. This does not include any core clinical records held within my secure SimplePractice portal that I am strictly legally obliged to keep for clinical, administrative, legal, or mandatory medical security purposes.
