Personal Information We Collect Automatically
In addition to collecting Personal Information that you provide to us, we may automatically collect certain Personal Information when you visit our Site and/or use the Services, such as IP address, information about your browser, device or operating system or similar information. IP addresses are ID numbers for the location of your computer or network on the internet. Log files are recordings of the traffic to and from a server. Blossoming Souls servers log IP addresses for systems administration and troubleshooting. We track page hits in the aggregate to track the popularity of pages that people visit. With that information we can improve the quality of our Site. We may also use or allow third parties to use web beacons on our Site to monitor the effectiveness of survey qualification. Web beacons are small, graphic images on web pages, web-based documents, or in email messages that allow us or third parties to monitor who is visiting our Site or if an email has been read. Web beacons collect the IP address of the device where the web beacon is sent, the URL of the page where the web beacon originates, and the time it was viewed. Web beacons may be linked to your Personal Information. We may also use third-party devices, services, links, or electronic mail to deliver surveys to you, which may use cookies, web beacons, or other technology to collect information about your visits to our Site in order to present surveys that may be of interest to you.

Accordingly, we do not offer individuals the ability to “opt-out” of the selling or renting of Personal Information because we do not engage in those practices.
COOKIES
A cookie is a small piece of information that a website can store on a computer and sometimes later use to recognize a user. The purpose of cookies is to enhance your ability to receive the information you want. In the future, we may use cookies to enhance the experience of users. A “session” cookie expires when the user closes the browser in which the website was viewed. A “persistent” cookie may be used to help save your settings and customizations. As with all cookies, you can personalize you web browser settings to reject session cookies. Though some cookies, that are strictly necessary for site operation, cannot be toggled off.
Some of our business partners with whom we contract to carry out the Services (e.g., website providers) may use their cookies on our Site. Although we may not have direct access to or control over such cookies, this Privacy Policy governs the use of cookies by us and such business partners on our Site. We may also allow social media companies (e.g., Facebook) to put “widgets” on our Site. These third-party tools may also be used to track you across websites. For example, so long as you are logged in to Facebook, every time you land on a webpage that has a Facebook widget, Facebook will know you are on that webpage. We do not control the privacy practices of these third parties.
THIRD PARTIES
This Privacy Policy does not address, and we are not responsible for, the privacy, information or other practices of any third parties, including the manufacturer of your mobile device and any other third party mobile application or website to which the Site may contain a link. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of each website and application you visit and use.
HIPAA; HEALTH-RELATED PERSONAL INFORMATION
Blossoming Souls is regulated as a Covered Entity under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (“HIPAA”). Certain demographic, health and/or health-related information that Blossoming Souls collects about clients as part of providing the Services may be considered “protected health information” or “PHI” under HIPAA. Specifically, when Blossoming Souls is acting as a Covered Entity (as such term is defined in HIPAA) and receives identifiable information from or about a client, this information is considered PHI. This Privacy Policy does not apply to PHI, which is instead regulated by our Notice of Privacy Practices. Please review the Notice of Privacy Practices for a description of how we may use and disclose your PHI.
Please note that, as part of Blossoming Souls services, you and Blossoming Souls will need to transmit PHI to one another. You acknowledge and agree that Blossoming Souls may send Personal Information constituting PHI to you via email or text, which are not secure methods of communication. Please notify Blossoming Souls if you do not wish to transmit or receive PHI through these methods, and Blossoming Souls will arrange for an alternative secure method of communication.
CHILDREN’S PRIVACY
Blossoming Souls is concerned about the safety and privacy of children online. Because of this, we will make all efforts to comply with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (“COPPA”). COPPA and its accompanying FTC regulations establish United States federal law that protects the privacy of children using the internet. Further, Blossoming Souls’ Services are not intended for minors. However, it is possible that by fraud or deception by others we may receive information given to us or pertaining to minors, including children under 13. If we are notified of this, as soon as we verify the information, we will immediately obtain parental consent or else delete the information from our servers. If you want to notify us of our unauthorized receipt of information by minors, including children under 13, please email mallory@blossomingsouls.org.
SECURITY
We seek to use reasonable physical, technical and administrative measures to protect Personal Information under our control. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet or data storage system is 100% secure, and therefore we cannot guarantee against all potential security breaches. If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure, please immediately notify us of the problem by contacting us in accordance with the “Contacting Us” section below.
STORAGE OF DATA
We will only store Personal Information for as long as it is needed to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, subject to applicable data retention periods imposed upon us by applicable law. This may mean that your Personal Information is stored by us for a number of years, depending on the purpose and need for that data to be processed.
UPDATES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY
We may occasionally update this Privacy Policy at any time. Any changes to this Privacy Policy will become effective when we make the revised Privacy Policy available through the Site. We will update the “Effective Date” date at the top of this Privacy Policy if we make any such changes to this Privacy Policy. Your use of the Site or the submission of any information in connection with the Services following any change means that you accept the revised Privacy Policy. We encourage you to periodically review this Privacy Policy to stay informed about how we collect, use, and disclose personally identifiable information.
CONTACTING US
If you have any questions or comments about this Privacy Policy, please contact us by e-mail at mallory@blossomingsouls.org. Please note that e-mail communications are not always secure; so please do not include health information, credit card information or other sensitive information in your e-mail messages to us.
