Effective Date: September 7, 2026
 

Lockhart OT respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information you share through this website. This Privacy Policy explains how information may be collected, used, stored, and shared when you visit the Lockhart OT website or use its online features.
 

Information We Collect

When you use this website, you may voluntarily provide personal information such as your name, email address, telephone number, and information submitted when scheduling a complimentary consultation or otherwise contacting Lockhart OT.
 

The website and its hosting platform may also automatically collect certain technical information, such as your Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser or device information, and information about how visitors interact with the website.
 

Please do not submit detailed medical information, diagnoses, treatment information, or other sensitive health information through general website forms, email, or text messages unless specifically directed to use an approved secure method.
 

How Information Is Collected and Used

Information may be collected when you schedule a consultation, contact Lockhart OT, interact with the website, or otherwise voluntarily provide information.
 

Information collected through the website may be used to:
 

• respond to inquiries;

• schedule and manage consultations or appointments;

• communicate regarding services or administrative matters;

• operate, maintain, secure, and improve the website and services;

• comply with applicable legal and professional obligations; and

• protect the rights, safety, and security of clients, visitors, Lockhart OT, and others.
   

Lockhart OT does not sell personal information.
 

Website Hosting and Third-Party Services

This website is hosted through Wix.com. Information submitted through the website may be stored or processed through Wix's systems and services.
 

Certain website functions may rely on third-party service providers. Those providers may process information as necessary to provide their services and may maintain their own privacy practices.
 

Where required for protected health information, Lockhart OT uses services and safeguards intended to support applicable healthcare privacy and security requirements.
 

Health Information and HIPAA

Lockhart OT takes the privacy of health information seriously. Website privacy and the privacy of information created or maintained as part of occupational therapy services are not necessarily governed by the same requirements.
 

When applicable, protected health information is handled in accordance with applicable healthcare privacy laws and professional confidentiality requirements. Additional information regarding the use and disclosure of protected health information will be provided through Lockhart OT's Notice of Privacy Practices when applicable.
 

Scheduling a complimentary consultation through this website does not, by itself, establish an occupational therapy provider-client relationship.
 

Communications

Lockhart OT may use contact information you provide to respond to inquiries and communicate with you regarding consultations, appointments, services, or administrative matters.
 

Email and text messaging should be used for scheduling and administrative communication only unless another communication method has been specifically arranged. Please do not send sensitive clinical or health information through ordinary email or text messages.
 

Cookies and Website Technology

This website may use cookies and similar technologies that are necessary for website functionality, security, performance, and operation. Wix and other services used by the website may also use cookies or similar technologies in accordance with their own privacy practices.
 

You may be able to control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect how some portions of the website function.
 

Sharing and Disclosure of Information

Lockhart OT may share personal information with service providers when reasonably necessary to operate the website, provide requested services, maintain security, or support business operations.
 

Information may also be disclosed when required by law, legal process, professional obligations, or when reasonably necessary to protect the rights, safety, or security of Lockhart OT, its clients, website visitors, or others.
 

Lockhart OT does not sell personal information for monetary compensation.
 

Your Privacy Choices

You may contact Lockhart OT to ask about personal information you have provided through the website or to request that information be corrected or deleted, when applicable and legally permitted.
 

Some information may need to be retained to satisfy legal, professional, healthcare, financial, or record-retention obligations.
 

Requests concerning protected health information or clinical records may be subject to different procedures and rights than requests involving ordinary website information.
 

Children's Privacy

This website is intended primarily for adults seeking information about Lockhart OT services, including parents and legal guardians seeking services for children.
 

Children should not independently submit personal or health information through this website. Parents or legal guardians should provide information on behalf of minors when appropriate.
 

External Links

This website may contain links to websites or services operated by third parties. Lockhart OT is not responsible for the privacy practices, security, or content of third-party websites.
 

Changes to This Privacy Policy

Lockhart OT may update this Privacy Policy as its services, website features, or legal requirements change. Updates will be posted on this page with a revised effective date.
