1. Introduction
Touch To Heal Massage ("we", "us", "our") is committed to protecting your personal information and complying with Alberta's Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA) and Health Information Act (HIA).
2. Information We Collect
a. Information You Provide Directly
We may collect information when you contact us or book an appointment, including:
- Name, phone number, email address
- Appointment details and service preferences
- Health information you voluntarily provide that's relevant to safe treatment
b. Third-Party Booking Services
We use a third-party booking platform (ClinicSense). When you click "Book" you may be redirected to their secure scheduling system. That provider may collect and store your name, contact details, appointment data, and any optional health information required for treatment. Their collection, use, and storage of information are governed by their own privacy policy.
c. Website & Technical Information
We may automatically collect non-identifying technical data such as IP address, browser type, pages viewed, and analytics data to improve our site.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use personal information to provide and manage massage therapy services, including scheduling appointments, communicating reminders, maintaining clinical records, and responding to inquiries. We do not use your personal information for unrelated purposes without consent.
4. Consent
You consent to collection and use of your information by submitting it on our site or through the booking platform. You may withdraw consent at any time, subject to legal or professional record-keeping requirements.
5. Storage & Protection
We follow reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect personal information (limited staff access, password-protected systems, secure storage). However, no system is 100% secure.
6. Disclosure of Personal Information
We do not sell or rent personal information. We may disclose information only to:
- Third-party service providers (e.g., booking platforms) necessary to deliver services
- Parties with your explicit consent
- Authorities where required by law
7. Links to Other Websites
Our website may contain links to external websites (for example, booking platforms or social media). When you click an outbound link and leave our site, this Privacy Policy no longer applies. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those external sites — please review their privacy policies before providing personal information.
8. Cookies & Analytics
We may use cookies and analytics to improve site performance. You can disable cookies in your browser, but some features may not work properly.
9. Retention of Information
We retain client treatment records to meet Alberta professional and insurance requirements. When information is no longer required, it is securely destroyed.
