Privacy Policy

Valent Behavioral Health is a telehealth behavioral health practice owned and operated by Jeff Davis, Ed.S., LMSW. Your trust is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect through this website, how we use it, and the choices you have about your information. It applies only to information collected through this website and our online contact and waitlist forms, not to information collected through our clinical records system or other offline services.

1. Who We Are

Valent Behavioral Health provides telehealth behavioral health services. The practice is owned by Jeff Davis, Ed.S., LMSW. When this policy uses the words “we,” “us,” or “our,” it refers to Valent Behavioral Health.

This Privacy Policy covers how we handle personal information collected through our website, including our contact and waitlist forms. It does not replace any separate privacy or HIPAA notices that may apply to you as a client receiving clinical services.

2. Information We Collect Through This Website

We collect information that you choose to share with us when you use our online forms. This may include:

  • Name
  • Email address
  • Phone number (if you choose to provide it)
  • Message content or information you include in the contact or waitlist forms

We do not collect payment information (such as credit card numbers or bank account details) through this website. Any payments for services, if applicable, are handled through separate, secure systems, not through our online forms.

3. How We Use the Information We Collect

We use the information you submit through this website to:

  • Respond to your questions and messages
  • Contact you about scheduling or availability
  • Manage waitlist signups and follow up when openings are available
  • Contact prospective clients who express interest in services

We do not sell or rent your personal information. We only share it with third parties as needed to operate our website and forms, or as required by law (for example, to comply with a court order or legal process).

4. Important HIPAA Notice

The contact and waitlist forms on this website are not intended for sharing detailed health or medical information. While we care deeply about your privacy, the website contact form itself is not a HIPAA-covered communication channel.

Please do not submit protected health information (PHI) through the website forms. This includes detailed information about your diagnosis, treatment, medical history, or other sensitive health details.

Once you become a client, your clinical records and any PHI are handled through secure, HIPAA-compliant systems and processes that are separate from this website. Those systems have additional safeguards designed specifically to protect your health information, and you will receive more detailed information about privacy and confidentiality as part of the intake process.

5. Cookies and Analytics

This website may use basic WordPress and Jetpack tools that place small files called “cookies” on your device and provide simple analytics about how the site is used. These tools help us understand general trends, such as which pages are visited and how people find the site, so we can improve it over time.

The information collected through these analytics is typically aggregated and does not identify you personally. You can control cookies through your browser settings and choose to delete or block them if you prefer.

6. Third-Party Services

We use certain third-party services to operate this website and process form submissions. In particular, our contact and waitlist forms are powered by Jetpack, a service provided by Automattic (the company behind WordPress.com).

When you submit a form on this site, the information you provide may be processed and temporarily stored by Jetpack/Automattic on our behalf so that your message can be delivered to us. These providers have their own privacy policies and security practices that govern how they handle data. We recommend reviewing Automattic’s privacy policy if you would like more information about how they manage data.

7. How Long We Keep Your Information

We keep contact and waitlist form submissions for as long as reasonably necessary to:

  • Respond to your inquiry
  • Follow up about scheduling or availability
  • Maintain basic records of communications for our legitimate business purposes

In many cases, messages are kept for up to one year, unless we need to keep them longer for recordkeeping, legal, or compliance reasons. If you become a client, information relevant to your care may be transferred into a HIPAA-compliant clinical record and retained in line with professional and legal requirements.

8. Your Rights and Choices

You have choices about how your information is used. For information collected through this website, you may:

  • Ask what personal information we have about you that was submitted through the website
  • Request that we correct or update your contact details
  • Request that we delete information you previously submitted through our contact or waitlist forms, unless we are required by law or professional standards to keep it

If you are or become a client, you may also have additional rights related to your clinical records and PHI under HIPAA and state law. Those rights will be described in the separate privacy or Notice of Privacy Practices documents we provide to clients.

9. How to Contact Us About Privacy

10. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, our services, or applicable laws. When we make changes, we will update the “Last updated” date at the bottom of this page. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about how we protect your information.

If any significant changes are made that affect how we handle your information, we will make reasonable efforts to let you know, such as by updating this page or adding a short notice on the website.
