Privacy Policy
Last Updated: August 6, 2026
Thrive Behavioral Health Services ("Thrive BHS," "we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you visit our website and use our online features.
1. Website Use and HIPAA
This website is for general information and education only. Using this website does not create a patient–provider relationship and does not make you a patient of our practice. The website by itself is not a HIPAA‑covered service. HIPAA protections apply once you become an established patient and receive clinical services through our practice. Once you are a patient, your health information is protected by federal and state privacy laws and by our internal policies, as described in our separate HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices.
2. Information We Collect
We may collect information you provide directly (such as your name, contact details, and information you enter into forms) and information collected automatically (such as IP address, browser type, device information, and pages visited). We may use cookies and similar technologies to understand how visitors use our site and to improve your experience. We use this information to respond to your inquiries, operate and improve our website, and comply with applicable laws. We do not sell your personal information.
3. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We may use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to remember your preferences, understand how visitors use our website, and improve site performance and security. You can usually adjust your browser settings to refuse cookies or to alert you when cookies are being sent. If you disable cookies, some parts of the website may not function properly.
4. Third-Party Services and Links
Our website may contain links to third-party websites or services, such as mapping services, telehealth or scheduling platforms, and social media pages. We are not responsible for the privacy practices, security, or content of these third-party sites. If you choose to use a third-party service, your information will be handled according to that third party’s own privacy policy and terms of use. We encourage you to review those policies before providing any information.
5. How We Protect Your Information
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to help protect the information we collect through our website. However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. Please do not submit highly sensitive personal, financial, or medical information through general website forms. Established patients should use secure communication channels provided by our practice when available.
6. Children’s Privacy and Age Limitations
Our website and services are intended for adults 18 years of age and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 18 through this site, and no one under 18 should use this website as a patient. If you believe that someone under 18 has provided us with personal information via the website, please contact us so we can take appropriate steps.
7. Your Choices
You may choose not to provide certain information through our website; however, this may limit your ability to use some features (such as contact forms or appointment requests). If you receive email communications from us, you may opt out of non-essential marketing or informational emails by following the unsubscribe instructions in those messages. We may still contact you with important non-marketing messages as permitted by law.
8. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. When we make changes, we will update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page. Your continued use of the website after any changes are posted means you accept those changes.
