Feel August Health, operated by Artful Living Psychiatry & Wellness Nursing Corporation (“we,” “us,” “our”), respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website (feelaugust.com) and use our services.
As a healthcare provider, we comply with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) regarding the privacy and security of protected health information (PHI). Our Notice of Privacy Practices — provided separately to all patients before their first appointment — governs how your medical information is used and disclosed in the context of treatment. This website Privacy Policy addresses information collected through the website itself, which is distinct from your clinical record.
As a California-based practice serving California residents, we comply with the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA). You have the right to: know what personal information we collect and why; request deletion of your personal information; request correction of inaccurate personal information; and opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information. We do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.
Do Not Sell or Share: We do not sell or share your personal information. If you are a California resident, you can manage your cookie preferences at any time using the “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link in our website footer, or by clicking “Cookie Settings” at the bottom of any page. To exercise other CCPA/CPRA rights, contact us using the information at the bottom of this page.
Information you provide directly: When you use our contact form, referral form, booking flow, or other interactive features, we collect the information you submit — such as your name, email address, phone number, insurance details, and any messages you write. If you apply for a position, we collect your resume and cover letter. We do not collect clinical or diagnostic information through this website.
Information collected automatically: When you visit our website, we may collect device information (browser type, operating system), approximate geographic location (derived from IP address), pages visited, and referring URLs. This information is collected only after you provide explicit consent via our cookie consent banner.
We use the information we collect to:
We use a limited number of third-party services to operate our website and practice. These include:
We do not sell your personal information to any third party. We share information with third parties only as necessary to provide our services, comply with legal obligations, or with your explicit consent.
We use cookies and similar technologies to operate our website and understand how visitors use it. You control which categories of cookies are active through our cookie consent banner, which appears on your first visit. You can change your preferences at any time by clicking “Cookie Settings” in the website footer.
| Category | Purpose | Can Disable? | Examples |
|---|---|---|---|
| Essential | Required for the site to function. Security, session management, and your consent preferences. | No | fa_consent, Cloudflare security cookies |

How to manage cookies: Click “Cookie Settings” at the bottom of any page to open the preference panel. You can also clear cookies through your browser settings. For EU/EEA visitors, non-essential cookies are blocked by default until you opt in. For California visitors, a “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link is provided in the footer.
On pages where you may share health-related information — such as our booking flow and contact form — we apply additional protections. Analytics tracking on these pages runs in anonymous mode only, regardless of your cookie preferences. No user-level data is collected on clinical pages. A separate HIPAA authorization notice is displayed before you submit any health information, distinct from cookie consent.
We implement technical and administrative safeguards to protect your information, including encrypted connections (HTTPS/TLS), access controls, and secure hosting infrastructure. Form submissions are transmitted over encrypted connections and are not stored on the website — they are forwarded directly to our care team via secure email. While no system is perfectly secure, we take reasonable measures appropriate for the sensitivity of the information we handle.
Website analytics data is retained for 12 months and then automatically deleted. Contact form submissions and referral data are retained as part of our operational records for as long as necessary to fulfill the purpose for which they were collected. Clinical records are retained in accordance with California law (minimum 7 years for adult patients) and are governed by our Notice of Privacy Practices, not this website policy.
Our website and services are intended for adults aged 18 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 18. If you believe we have inadvertently collected information from a minor, please contact us immediately so we can delete it.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. Changes take effect when posted on this page with an updated effective date. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
