Privacy Policy

Effective Date: July 23, 2026

Awakening Bodywork for Women ("we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, how we protect it, and the choices you have.

What We Collect

Information you give us through our website:

• Name

• Email address

• Phone number

• Any message or details you include in a contact or booking form

Information you give us as a client:

• Health history, injuries, medical conditions, medications, allergies, and pregnancy status

• Session notes documenting the work performed

• Payment information (processed by our payment provider — we do not store full card numbers)

Information collected automatically: Our website host may collect limited technical data such as IP address, browser type, and pages visited. This is standard for website hosting and is used only for site security and general analytics.

 

Why We Collect It

We use your information only to:

• Respond to inquiries and schedule appointments

• Provide safe, appropriate bodywork tailored to your health needs

• Maintain accurate client records

• Process payment

• Send appointment reminders

• Send updates or offerings, only if you have opted in

We do not sell, rent, or trade your information. Ever.

 

Your Health Information

We treat your health and session information as confidential.

• It is used solely to provide safe and effective care.

• It is not shared with anyone without your written permission, except where required by law.

• Records are stored securely, and access is limited to your practitioner.

Please note: massage and bodywork practices are generally not covered entities under HIPAA. Regardless, we hold your health information to a strict standard of confidentiality as a matter of professional ethics and North Carolina practice standards.

 

Who We Share It With

We may share limited information with service providers who help us operate, such as our website host, online booking system, email platform, and payment processor. These providers access only what they need to perform their service.

We may disclose information without your consent only when required by law — for example, a valid court order, or a legal obligation to report suspected abuse or an imminent safety risk.

 

How Long We Keep It

Client health and session records are retained as required by North Carolina professional practice standards. Website inquiries are kept only as long as needed to respond and maintain basic records.

 

Cookies

Our website may use cookies to support site functionality and understand general usage. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though some features may not work as intended.

 

Your Rights

You may contact us at any time to:

• Request a copy of the information we hold about you

• Request corrections to your records

• Request deletion of your information, subject to record-retention requirements

• Opt out of marketing emails at any time

To make a request, email stephanie@awakeningbodyworkforwomen.com.

 

Children's Privacy

Our website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from children under 13 through this site.

 

Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your information, including secure storage of client records and use of reputable third-party providers. No system is completely secure, but we work to safeguard your information appropriately.

 

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with a revised effective date.
