Texas Talkers Speech Therapy ("Texas Talkers," "we," "us," or "our") values your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how information may be collected, used, and shared when you visit www.texastalkersspeechtherapy.com (the "Website"), use Website features, or interact with third-party services linked through the Website.
This Privacy Policy applies to Website activity and Website-related communications. It does not replace any separate privacy practices, notices, or agreements that may apply if you become a client of the practice or submit information through a third-party platform.
Information Collected Through the Website
The Texas Talkers Website does not currently contain native HTML forms that directly collect visitor-submitted information.
However, the Website includes links and embedded scheduling/contact functionality provided by SimplePractice. If you choose to use those scheduling, prescreening, contact, or portal features, information you voluntarily provide may be processed through that third-party service rather than through this Website directly.
Depending on how you interact with those features, information submitted through SimplePractice may include information such as your name, contact information, appointment-related details, messages, or other information you choose to provide.
Technical and Usage Information
Like many websites, this Website and its third-party services may process certain technical and usage information automatically. This may include information such as:
- browser type
- device type
- IP-related information
- operating system
- pages visited
- referring website or source
- date and time of visits
- interactions with the Website
- similar analytics or diagnostic information
This information is generally used to understand Website traffic, improve user experience, maintain Website functionality, and support the security and performance of the Website and related services.
Google Analytics
Texas Talkers uses Google Analytics 4 to better understand how visitors use the Website. Google Analytics may process technical and usage data such as browser and device information, IP-related information, pages visited, interactions, referral information, and similar usage data.
Google Analytics may use cookies or similar technologies to help measure Website traffic and usage patterns.
Texas Talkers does not intend for Google Analytics to collect clinical or health information, and visitors should not submit sensitive health information through ordinary website or email communications.
You can learn more about how Google processes data by visiting Google's own privacy materials.
SimplePractice and Third-Party Scheduling / Contact Tools
The Website uses SimplePractice for scheduling and prescreening/contact-related flows. When you click scheduling, evaluation request, prescreener, or similar Website buttons, you may open a SimplePractice widget, portal, or external page.
Information you submit through SimplePractice is processed by that third-party service according to its own practices, terms, and policies. Because those tools are not operated solely within the Website code itself, Texas Talkers encourages visitors to review SimplePractice's own privacy and terms materials when using those services.
If you need to share clinical, personal, or health-related information, please use the secure SimplePractice portal or widget rather than ordinary email or other unsecured website communication methods.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
The Website itself does not currently use custom code to set its own cookies for forms or user accounts. However, third-party tools and services used on or through the Website, including Google Analytics and SimplePractice, may use cookies or similar technologies.
In addition, standard hosting or delivery technologies may process limited technical information as part of normal Website operation.
Visitors may be able to manage or restrict cookies through their browser settings, although doing so may affect certain Website or third-party functionality.
Payments
The Website does not directly collect payment card information.
Texas Talkers may describe payment methods, private-pay services, or billing information on the Website, but payment information is not collected directly through the Website's own native forms.
Links to Other Websites and Social Platforms
The Website may contain links to third-party websites, educational resources, scheduling services, and social media platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn.
Texas Talkers is not responsible for the privacy practices, content, or security of third-party websites or services. Those third parties operate under their own policies and terms. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing information or interacting with their services.
How Information May Be Used
Information processed through Website technologies or third-party Website features may be used for purposes such as:
- operating and maintaining the Website
- understanding Website traffic and usage
- improving Website design, content, and functionality
- responding to inquiries or requests routed through third-party tools
- supporting scheduling or prescreening workflows initiated by visitors
- protecting the Website, visitors, and practice operations
Security
Texas Talkers uses reasonable measures to help protect Website information and Website-related systems. However, no method of internet transmission, electronic storage, or online service can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
For that reason, visitors should avoid sending sensitive health or clinical information through ordinary unsecured channels and should instead use the secure SimplePractice portal or widget when appropriate.
Children's Privacy
The Website provides information about services for children and families but is intended for use by parents, caregivers, adults, and other individuals seeking information about Texas Talkers services. Texas Talkers does not knowingly use the Website's native functionality to collect personal information directly from children. Information submitted through third-party services is also subject to those services' own processes, terms, and privacy practices.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
Texas Talkers may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any updates will be posted on this page, and the Effective Date at the top of the Policy will reflect the date of the latest revision.
