WEB SITE AND E-MAIL POLICIES
Your financial, medical and personal information sent from this web site is protected under lock and key, password protected and encrypted during transmission. 

To receive and reply to such encrypted emails, you will be required to register with an encryption service at no additional charge to you.  Once registered, you will be able to read the encrypted messages, and your replies will also be encrypted through the same encryption service.

Please know it is our strict policy never to forward your information to a third party, listserv, other vendor, or business entity without first getting your permission and notifying you within HIPAA guidelines.

For services received, or to make deposits or buy materials, clients may make credit card payments through this web site, using PayPal’s secure server. 

With your permission, and for your convenience, I am also able to send you a PayPal secure server link by encrypted e-mail.  Upon receipt of such a link, you may pay by credit card or through your personal PayPal account through PayPal's secure server. 

E-MAIL SECURITY ADVISORY
We take measures to protect your financial information.  My clients have never had a problem, and I wish to keep it that way.  I will never ask you for your credit card number, Social Security number or other privileged information by e-mail without first confirming the intended transaction with you in person or by phone.  Once confirmed, all such email transactions will be encrypted.

Therefore, please contact me by phone before you pay any unsolicited e-mail bill or provide personal information through e-mail. 

As with any method of Internet payment, it is important that users confirm the source of any e-mail billing and always consider the advisability of sending e-mail messages that contain sensitive, personal information to this web site or any e-mail or Internet address.
