viewed, time spent on the site, and general geographic region.
Cookies used on our website generally fall into these categories:
Analytics cookies, which help us understand website traffic and usage patterns through Google

Functionality cookies, which help our website operate correctly and remember basic preferences.
You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block

cookies may affect how our website functions. You may also review Google's own privacy and
advertising policies to understand how Google uses information collected through Analytics.

Google Calendar Appointment Scheduling, Google Analytics 4, Google Business Profile, and Google
Maps. When you interact with these tools, Google may also collect and process information in
accordance with Google's own privacy policies. We encourage you to review Google's privacy practices
to understand how Google handles information separately from our own practices described here.
8. Social Media
We maintain pages on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and Google Business Profile. When you
interact with us on these platforms, such as by commenting, messaging, or leaving a review, that
platform's own privacy policy and terms will also apply. We are not responsible for the privacy practices
of these third-party platforms.

We do not sell your personal information. We may share personal information only as reasonably
necessary:
With service providers that help us operate our business, such as Google (for website hosting,
scheduling, email, and analytics services).

or others.

subject to applicable law.
With your consent, or at your direction.
10. Data Security
We take reasonable measures designed to protect personal information from unauthorized access, use,
or disclosure. These measures include the use of reputable, secure platforms such as Google Workspace.
However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee the
absolute security of your information.
11. Your Choices and California Privacy Considerations
You may have certain rights regarding your personal information under California law, such as the
California Consumer Privacy Act ("CCPA"), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act ("CPRA"),
depending on factors such as our business's size, revenue, and data practices. Depending on applicable
law, these rights may include the ability to request access to, deletion of, or correction of your personal
information, and to be free from discrimination for exercising these rights.
Because the applicability of these laws depends on specific legal thresholds and business practices, we
recommend that this section be reviewed by a qualified California attorney to confirm which rights and
obligations apply to our business. If you would like to make a request regarding your personal
information, please contact us using the information in Section 17, and we will respond as appropriate
and as required by applicable law.

instructions included in those emails, or by contacting us directly.

personal information from children under 13 through our website. We do provide certain in-person
services to minors accompanied by a parent or guardian. Please see our Children's Service Policy and
Parent/Guardian Photo & Video Release for information about how we handle information related to
services provided to minors.
13. Future AI Systems
We may in the future introduce AI-assisted tools, such as an AI receptionist or AI chat assistant, to help
with scheduling and answering common questions. If we do, we will disclose when you are interacting
with AI rather than a person. A human team member will remain available where appropriate.
Information from AI interactions may be reviewed to improve customer service, subject to this Privacy
Policy and any future updates to it. AI tools will not replace licensed professionals, and their use will not
guarantee any particular outcome. Additional detail will be provided in our AI Transparency Policy and
related AI documents once these tools are introduced.14. Customer Responsibilities

to maintaining reasonable security measures, to being transparent about our data practices, and to
responding to customer questions about this Privacy Policy in good faith.

applicable law. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this Policy indicates when it was most recently
