Privacy Policy

How this website handles your information, and what it is and isn’t for. Effective November 10, 2026.

Please Read First

  • This website is not for clinical care or emergencies. If you are in crisis, call or text 988, or call 911.
  • Please don’t send health or other sensitive personal information through this website, by email, or by replying to the newsletter. Email and standard web forms are not secure. To ask about services, use the secure inquiry forms linked on this site.
  • No professional relationship is created by visiting this site, sending an email, registering for a workshop, or subscribing to the newsletter.
  • Confidentiality: to protect everyone’s privacy, I do not confirm or deny whether any person is, or has ever been, a client.

Who This Policy Covers

This policy applies to kevinhandley.com (the “website”), operated by Kevin B. Handley, Ph.D., a licensed clinical psychologist in Virginia, through JEH Growth Strategies LLC in the Fredericksburg, Virginia area. In this policy, “I” and “my” refer to Dr. Handley and JEH Growth Strategies LLC.

It covers information collected through this website, the newsletter, and the workshop pages. It does not describe how health information is handled in clinical care. If you are a client, that is addressed in the privacy notice and consent documents you receive at intake. It also does not cover other websites that this site links to.

Information I Collect

Information you choose to give me. This includes your email address when you subscribe to the newsletter, and anything you include when you email or call me. When you register for a workshop, the registration platform collects the details it asks for, such as your name, email address, and payment information, under its own policies.

Information collected automatically. Like most websites, this one and its hosting provider may record technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device, the pages you view, and the date and time of your visit. I use it to keep the site working and secure and to understand, in aggregate, which pages people use.

How I Use Information

I use information to send the newsletter you asked for, respond to your messages, run workshops and issue continuing education documentation, maintain and secure the website, and meet legal obligations. I do not sell or rent your personal information, and I do not use it for advertising or to build profiles of individual visitors.

The Newsletter

If you subscribe to “Kevin on the 7th(ish),” your email address is sent to Kit, the email service that delivers the newsletter. The newsletter is general educational content. Subscribing does not create a client relationship, and I do not use subscriber information for any clinical purpose. Every email includes an unsubscribe link, and you can unsubscribe at any time. You can also email me and I will remove you. I keep your address until you unsubscribe or ask me to delete it.

Services That Handle Information on My Behalf

I rely on outside services to run this website and my work, and information you provide may pass through them. These include my web hosting provider and WordPress and Jetpack (website operation, security, and aggregate statistics), Kit (newsletter), ThriveCart and Eventbrite (workshop registration and payment), and IntakeQ (secure inquiry forms). Each has its own privacy policy and security practices, and I encourage you to read them. Registration information may also be shared with a continuing education sponsor when needed to issue credit.

Forms that open on another service’s site, including the secure inquiry forms, are governed by that service’s terms and my separate intake and privacy documents, not by this policy.

Cookies

This website and the services above may use cookies and similar technologies to keep the site working, remember basic preferences, and measure aggregate traffic. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, though some features may not work as expected.

When I Share Information

I share information only with the service providers described above, with your consent, or when I believe disclosure is required by law, such as in response to valid legal process, or necessary to protect someone’s safety or the security of the website.

Security and Retention

I take reasonable steps to protect information collected through this website, but no website, email, or internet transmission is completely secure, and I cannot guarantee absolute security. That is why I ask you not to send sensitive information through the website or by email. I keep correspondence and website records only as long as needed to respond, operate the business, and meet legal and record-keeping obligations.

Your Choices

You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time. You can also ask me to correct or delete personal information I hold from your use of this website, and I will do so unless I am required to keep it. I may need to confirm your identity before acting on a request. To make a request, contact me using the details below.

Children

This website and the newsletter are intended for adults and are not directed to children under 13. I do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has given me information, contact me and I will delete it.

Links to Other Websites

This website links to other sites, including professional directories, registration platforms, and conference hosts. I am not responsible for their content or privacy practices.

Educational Content Only

The content on this website, in the newsletter, and in public workshops is general information for educational purposes. It is not a diagnosis, treatment, or personalized professional advice, and it is not a substitute for care from a qualified professional who knows your situation. No particular results are promised or guaranteed. If you have a medical or mental health concern, please consult a licensed provider.

Changes to This Policy

I may update this policy from time to time. The effective date at the top shows when it was last revised, and continued use of the website after a change means you accept the updated policy.
