This Privacy Policy explains what information may be collected when you visit TheAlethaRose.com, subscribe to our emails, schedule an introductory call, submit an inquiry, or otherwise interact with us through the website.

This policy applies to information collected through the public website and its connected services. Information collected after a person or organization enters into a counseling, consulting, speaking, training, or other service relationship with The AlethaRose may also be governed by a separate service agreement, informed-consent document, or other written agreement.

Calendly processes this information according to its own privacy practices and, in some circumstances, as a service provider acting on behalf of The AlethaRose.

Information Collected Automatically

When you visit the website, the website’s hosting and technology providers may automatically receive limited technical information, such as:

• Internet Protocol address
• Browser type
• Device type
• Operating system
• Referring page
• Pages visited
• Date and time of access
• General website-performance or security information

The AlethaRose does not currently use its own behavioral-advertising system, Meta Pixel, Google Analytics, or similar first-party advertising or analytics tools. However, third-party services used by or linked from the website may collect information according to their own policies.

2. How We Use Information

We may use personal information to:

• Respond to questions and inquiries
• Prepare and respond to speaking or training requests

• Protect the rights, safety, and interests of The AlethaRose and others

Submitting an inquiry or scheduling an introductory call does not establish a counselor-client relationship, consulting relationship, or other professional service relationship.

3. Christian Counseling and Sensitive Information

The AlethaRose provides nonclinical Christian counseling and related services. The AlethaRose does not diagnose or treat mental-health conditions and does not provide psychotherapy, clinical assessments, diagnostic evaluations, treatment plans, marriage and family therapy, medical care, or emergency and crisis-response services.

The public website, email, and introductory-call scheduling tools are not intended for submitting medical records, clinical records, detailed mental-health histories, or emergency information.

No method of electronic communication can be guaranteed to be completely private or secure. Please use discretion when deciding what information to send electronically.

If you are experiencing an emergency or immediate danger, call 911. If you are experiencing suicidal thoughts or emotional distress in the United States, call or text 988.

4. How Information May Be Shared

The AlethaRose does not sell personal information.

We may share limited personal information with service providers that help us operate the website and communicate with visitors, including:

• Kit, for email subscriptions and mailing-list management
• Calendly, for introductory-call scheduling
• Google, including Gmail for correspondence and Google Fonts for website typography
• Website hosting and infrastructure providers, for website operation, security, and technical delivery
• Facebook or Meta, when you choose to follow an external link to The AlethaRose Facebook page

These companies maintain their own privacy policies and may collect or process information according to their own terms.

We may also disclose information:

• When required by law, subpoena, court order, or valid legal process
• When reasonably necessary to protect a person from immediate harm
• To investigate fraud, abuse, security threats, or unlawful activity
• To protect the legal rights or property of The AlethaRose
• In connection with a business reorganization, merger, transfer, or similar transaction, subject to appropriate confidentiality protections

We do not authorize service providers to use personal information for purposes unrelated to the services they provide to The AlethaRose.

5. Cookies and Similar Technologies

The website does not currently use first-party advertising cookies or behavioral-tracking pixels.

Third-party services, embedded forms, website infrastructure, and external websites may use cookies, pixels, local storage, or similar technologies. Their use of these technologies is governed by their respective privacy policies.

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect how some website features or third-party services function.

6. Data Retention

The AlethaRose generally retains inquiry, correspondence, scheduling, administrative, and service-related information for up to five years, unless:

• A shorter period is appropriate for the purpose for which the information was collected
• A longer period is required by law
• The information is needed to resolve a dispute or protect legal rights
• A separate service agreement establishes a different retention period

Email-subscription information may be retained until you unsubscribe, request deletion, or the information is removed as part of routine mailing-list maintenance.

When information is no longer reasonably needed, we may delete it, anonymize it, or securely dispose of it.

7. Information Concerning Minors

The website is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13.

The AlethaRose does not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13 through the website. If we learn that a child under 13 has submitted personal information without appropriate parental or legal-guardian involvement, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.

Inquiries concerning counseling, education, speaking, or other services involving a minor must be submitted by a parent, legal guardian, school, church, or responsible organization. A minor should not independently submit sensitive personal information through the website, email, or scheduling tools.

8. Data Security

The AlethaRose uses reasonable administrative and technical measures intended to protect personal information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.

However, no website, email system, internet transmission, or electronic-storage method is completely secure. The AlethaRose cannot guarantee absolute security.

Visitors are responsible for using appropriate care when sending information electronically.

9. Your Choices and Requests

You may contact The AlethaRose to request that we:

• Provide information about the personal information we maintain about you
• Correct inaccurate information
• Update your contact preferences
• Remove you from marketing communications
• Delete information when we are not legally or contractually required to retain it

We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling certain requests. Some information may be retained when reasonably necessary to comply with legal obligations, maintain business records, resolve disputes, or protect legal rights.

10. External Links

The website may contain links to websites or services operated by other organizations, including Kit, Calendly, Facebook, and other third parties.

The AlethaRose does not control the privacy practices, content, security, or availability of external websites. Visiting an external website is subject to that organization’s privacy policy and terms.

11. Visitors Outside the United States

The AlethaRose is based in North Carolina, United States.

If you access the website from another state or country, your information may be transferred to and processed in the United States or other locations where our service providers operate. Privacy protections in those locations may differ from those in your place of residence.

The availability of services from The AlethaRose outside North Carolina is determined separately based on the nature of the requested service, Tomeca’s scope, and any applicable requirements. Visiting the website or submitting an inquiry does not guarantee that services can be provided in a particular location.

12. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when our website, services, technology providers, or information practices change.

The revised policy will be posted on the website with an updated effective date. Material changes may also be communicated through another reasonable method when appropriate.
