Effective Date: April 12, 2025
Last Reviewed: October 16, 2026

Next Mission Recovery Psychology, PC ("Next Mission Recovery," "we," "our," or "us") respects your privacy and is committed to confidentiality, security, and clear communication. This policy explains what we collect on https://www.nextmissionrecovery.com (the "Site"), how we use it, and the choices you have. By using the Site, you agree to this policy.

Clinical privacy first. Website forms are for general inquiries, scheduling, and group registration only. Please do not submit health or medical information through the Site. Clinical information shared during care is handled separately from the Site.

1) What We Collect

A. Information you voluntarily provide

When you contact us, register for a free group, or sign up for email updates, you may provide:

  • Name

  • Email address

  • Phone number (optional on the contact form)

  • Your state (optional on group registration forms)

  • Your preferences, such as preferred format, general scheduling windows, or the group session you choose

  • A free-text message (please do not include health or medical information)

  • Whether you want email updates (an optional checkbox or newsletter sign-up)

Signing up for a specific group (for example a veterans or immigration-support group) tells us which group you chose.

B. Information collected automatically

When you visit the Site, our website host, Squarespace, records page views and similar events for site analytics. These records can include:

  • The pages you visit and the page that referred you

  • Your browser, device type, operating system, screen size, and language

  • An approximate location (city or region) based on your IP address

Your IP address is received by the servers that deliver the Site. If you accept non-essential cookies in the cookie banner, analytics cookies may also be used; if you decline, page views are still recorded without those cookies. You can decline or change your choice at any time (see Section 3). We do not use advertising trackers.

2) How We Use Information

We use the information described above to:

  • Respond to inquiries and consultation requests

  • Register you for free groups you sign up for and contact you about them

  • Send email updates you have asked to receive, with an unsubscribe option in each message

  • Operate, secure, and improve the Site (analytics, spam prevention, troubleshooting)

  • Comply with applicable laws and enforce our terms

We do not sell your personal information. We do not share it for third‑party marketing.

3) Cookies & Controls

We use cookies that the Site needs to work and, if you accept them, analytics cookies. You can change your choice at any time through the Cookie Preferences link on the Site or through your browser settings. Declining non-essential cookies does not affect your ability to use the Site.

Do Not Track: We currently do not respond to Do Not Track signals.

Other parties: Other parties may collect personally identifiable information about your online activities over time and across different websites when you use the Site. Google provides the spam protection (reCAPTCHA) on our forms, and some pages include embedded YouTube videos, which may connect to Google when the page loads or when you play the video. Through these services, Google may collect information such as your IP address, browser details, and cookies under its own privacy policy. We do not use third-party advertising tracking.

4) Data Security & Confidentiality

We implement administrative, technical, and physical safeguards appropriate to the data we process. While no website can guarantee 100% security, we strive to protect information in transit and at rest.

  • Do not include health or medical information in website forms or email.

  • Clinical records and session notes are kept separately from the Site. The Site does not ask for health information, but if you include it in a form or email, it is received and stored with that message, so please leave it out.

5) Third‑Party Services

We use service providers to run the Site and our communications:

  • Squarespace hosts the Site and its forms, stores form submissions and email sign-ups, and provides site analytics.

  • Google provides the spam protection (reCAPTCHA) on our forms and the email and spreadsheet services we use to receive and organize submissions, and YouTube (Google) provides embedded videos.

  • Stripe provides the billing portal you reach through the Manage Billing link.

These providers process information under their own policies. We share information with them only to operate the Site and our services, and we do not sell it or share it for advertising.

6) Links to Other Websites

The Site links to external resources, such as the California Board of Psychology, the federal No Surprises Act information page, professional directory profiles (for example Psychology Today), our YouTube, Spotify, LinkedIn, and Instagram pages, and the Stripe billing portal. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites. Review their policies when visiting.

7) Your Privacy Choices and Requests

You can ask us to:

  • Tell you what personal information we have about you from the Site

  • Correct it if it is inaccurate

  • Delete it, subject to any legal or professional obligation to keep certain records

  • Stop sending you email updates (you can also use the unsubscribe link in any message)

We do not sell personal information or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. The Site does not ask for sensitive personal information, and we ask you not to send it. Depending on where you live, the law of your state or country may give you additional rights; contact us and we will respond as that law requires. We will not treat you differently for making a request.

How to make a request: Contact us using the methods below. We may need to verify your identity to protect your privacy. Authorized agents may submit requests with proof of authority and identity verification.

8) Children’s Privacy

The Site and services are for adults (18+) and are not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

9) Data Retention

Contact form messages are kept in our practice email and in Squarespace's form storage. Free group registrations are kept in those two places and in a spreadsheet in our Google Workspace business account. Email sign-ups are kept in Squarespace's contact list. We do not currently delete these records on a fixed schedule; you can ask us to delete your information at any time using the contact details below, subject to any legal or professional obligation to keep it. Clinical records are maintained separately in accordance with professional and legal standards.

10) International Visitors

The Site is operated in the United States. If you access it from outside the U.S., you understand that your information may be processed in the U.S. where privacy laws may differ from those in your country.

11) Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy to reflect changes in law, technology, or our practices. We will post the revised policy with an updated "Last Reviewed" date. Material changes will be highlighted when appropriate.
