A. Any contact information you provide through direct contact with us, either through chat, email, phone, or personal visit, and notes from any healing sessions we do. If you are under 16 years old, we only knowingly retain contact information of your parent and/or guardian.
Whenever you email us through this website, you will receive a confirmation email that includes the information that was collected from you.
In addition to the medical provider requirements outlined below, we, like you, prefer to only receive contact from people we know have our best interest at heart and in mind and are not trying to sell us anything we didn't ask to hear about, so we promise you that any information you share while contacting us, or while in contact with us, will stay with us. We promise we will never rent, lend, lease, or sell your contact information to anyone else.
That is our sincere promise to you.
Medical Records
The following policy applies to any and all information obtained while in contact with you both online and offline.
Any and all information collected through the intake form, email, phone consultations or conversations in any form held between us, (you as a client or patient and any and all Bearfoot Healing staff) either before, during or after working with us for your healing needs, is held in complete confidentiality and can not and will not be shared without your explicate permission and only with you or another medical professional.
Q. How we use the personal data we have.
A. When you provide positive consent, we use your contact information for replies to you when asked, including for our newsletter (if you signed up to recieve it) and to stay in touch with you while you are a client of ours.
Once you have contracted with us to help you heal, the practitioner you work with uses the session notes as a reminder of what was worked on and to track progress.
Q. How we store any personal data.
A. We encrypt all our electronic files and our off-site back-ups to keep your information safe.
Whenever possible, we only use electronic means of obtaining the information you or another medical professional provides us, so any physical versions are securely shredded using an onsite cross-cut shredder after being scanned into electronic format and placed into your file.
Your personal file, beyond name and contact information, can only be accessed by the practitioner you are working with, through the use of encryption/decryption passwords assigned to your file.
Q. How long personal data and information is kept.
A. Any and all files we have for you remain up-to-date as long you continue as a client, then 30-days after your last session, they are securely shredded (aka- secure erasing) through the use of two different programs. The first erases the file by overwriting the data 35 times with random characters, and the second secures the free space by overwriting it with a further 35 passes of random data.
As long as you are not a newsletter subscriber, your contact information is removed 14 days after our last contact.
If you are a newsletter subscriber, you can unsubscribe and your email address is removed.
