Privacy Policy

Effective date: August 25th, 2025 (last updated)

At Therapy with Erica Z / Erica Z Collective LLC (“we,” “our,” or “us”), your privacy matters. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you visit our website or connect with us online.

By using this website, you’re agreeing to the terms of this Privacy Policy. If you prefer not to, please do not use this site.

Information We Collect

What comes automatically:
Like most websites, we may collect basic technical details such as your IP address, browser type, device information, and which pages you visit. This helps us keep the site running smoothly.

What you choose to share:
If you reach out through a contact form, sign up for a newsletter or email us directly, we may collect your name, email, phone number, and anything else you provide.

If you’re a client:
Any health or therapy-related information you share is considered Protected Health Information (PHI) and is covered under HIPAA. That information is never collected through this website. Instead, you’ll receive a separate Notice of Privacy Practices (NPP) that explains how PHI is protected.

How We Use Information

We may use the information collected through this website to:

  • Respond to your messages or questions.

  • Share updates, resources, or newsletters (if you opt in).

  • Improve the site and make it more user-friendly.

  • Ensure the security and reliability of the website.

  • Meet legal or professional obligations.

We do not sell your information.

Our website may include links to other websites or services that we don’t own or manage. We cannot be responsible for the privacy practices or content on those sites. If you choose to visit them, we encourage you to review their privacy policies before sharing any personal information.

Data Security

We take steps to keep your information safe, but no method of transmission online is 100% secure. Please avoid sharing sensitive health information through this website’s forms. Once you become a client, we’ll communicate through secure, HIPAA-compliant systems.
