4. Data Storage and Security
Client data and records are stored in a HIPAA-compliant document drive.
We use industry-standard safeguards such as password protection, encryption, and secure networks to protect your information.
However, no online platform can guarantee 100% security. By using electronic communication, you acknowledge potential risks such as data breaches or unauthorized access despite best efforts.
5. Payments and Financial Transactions
All therapy and consultation payments are processed securely through IvyPay, a HIPAA-compliant payment platform designed for mental health professionals.
IvyPay uses industry-standard encryption and security measures to protect your financial information.
We do not store or have direct access to your full payment details; all transactions are handled securely through IvyPay’s system.
For information on IvyPay’s privacy practices, please review IvyPay’s Privacy Policy.

Our website is hosted on Squarespace, which may use cookies or analytics tools to enhance site performance.
For telehealth sessions, we use Psychology Today’s Sessions platform, which maintains its own security and privacy standards.
We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of any third-party websites linked from our Site.

Our website and services are intended for adults and are not directed toward children under the age of 13.

If you believe that a child has provided personal information through this site, please contact us immediately at drbaileydirth@gmail.com so we can take appropriate action.
8. Email Communication and Security
Please note that standard email communication is not a secure or encrypted form of communication.
While we take reasonable steps to protect information sent to us electronically, we cannot guarantee the security of data transmitted via email.
For your privacy, please avoid sharing sensitive personal, medical, or mental health information via regular email.
Once a therapeutic relationship is established, more secure channels may be used for communication when appropriate.
9. Disclosure for Legal and Compliance Reasons
We may disclose personal information when required to do so by law or in response to a valid legal request (such as a court order, subpoena, or government investigation).
We may also share information if we believe in good faith that such disclosure is necessary to:
Comply with applicable laws or professional regulations,
Protect the rights, property, or safety of our clients or others, or
Enforce our website’s Terms of Service.
These disclosures are rare and would only occur in accordance with legal and ethical obligations.

Request correction or deletion of your contact information.
Opt out of receiving non-essential communications.
