Privacy Policy for Be Well Coaching
Effective Date: January 1, 2026

Your Privacy Matters

Your privacy matters deeply to me. As a health coach, I understand that the information you share is personal, and I’m committed to handling it with care, respect, and transparency.

This Privacy Policy explains how your information is collected, used, and protected when you visit this website or work with Be Well Coaching.

1. Information We Collect

Information You Choose to Share
When you connect with me, you may choose to share:

  • Your name and contact details (email, phone)

  • Billing and payment information

  • Personal health and wellness information (goals, habits, lifestyle)

Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, some information is collected automatically, including:

  • IP address

  • Browser and device type

  • Pages visited and time spent on the site

  • Cookies and similar technologies

2. How Your Information Is Used

Your information is used to support you and your experience, including:

  • Providing personalized coaching

  • Scheduling and running sessions

  • Communicating with you (emails, reminders, updates)

  • Processing payments securely

  • Improving services and website experience

  • Meeting legal obligations if required

3. Coaching & Health Disclaimer

Coaching services are designed to support your wellness and lifestyle goals. They are not medical care.

Nothing shared through Be Well Coaching is intended to diagnose, treat, or replace professional medical advice. Please consult your healthcare provider for medical concerns.

4. Confidentiality Commitment

I treat your personal information with the same care and respect I would want for my own.

What you share in coaching sessions is kept confidential and used only to support your growth and well-being.

Your information is only shared if:

  • You give clear permission

  • It’s necessary to deliver services (through secure platforms)

  • It’s required by law

Because coaching is not medical or mental health treatment, different legal confidentiality standards may apply—but your privacy is always handled with intention and care.

5. HIPAA-Informed Privacy Practices

While Be Well Coaching is not a covered entity under HIPAA, I follow privacy and security practices aligned with HIPAA principles.

This includes limiting access to your information, using secure platforms, and maintaining strong confidentiality standards.

6. Tools & Third-Party Services

To provide a smooth online experience, I use trusted tools such as:

  • Zoom for coaching sessions

  • Stripe (through a scheduling platform) for payments

These platforms manage their own data according to their privacy policies.

7. Payment Security

Payments are processed securely through third-party providers. I do not store full credit card information.

8. Sharing of Information

Your information is never sold.

It may be shared only when necessary with:

  • Secure service providers (scheduling, payments, communication)

  • Legal authorities if required

  • Others only with your consent

9. Data Protection

Reasonable safeguards are in place to protect your information. However, no online system is completely secure, and using online services always carries some level of risk.

10. Your Rights (Connecticut & U.S.)

You may have the right to:

  • Access your data

  • Correct or update it

  • Request deletion

  • Opt out of communications

Cookies are used to improve your browsing experience. You can adjust your browser settings at any time.

12. Children’s Privacy

This website and services are intended for adults and are not directed toward children under 13.
