Privacy Policy
Plainly stated: what this website collects, why, and how to opt out of any of it.
Last updated: August 22, 2026
The most important thing on this page: please do not send clinical or medical details through the contact form or by email. Web forms and ordinary email are not secure or confidential channels, and nothing you send through them is protected the way a therapy session is. A name and a sentence about wanting to talk is plenty. Everything clinical belongs in a consultation.
On this page
1. Who this policy covers
This policy describes the website aaronjkimbletherapy.com, operated by Dr. Aaron J. Kimble, PhD, MA, MBA, LPC, NCC, at 1720 Peachtree Road NW, Suite 431, Atlanta, GA 30309.
It covers this website only. It does not describe how clinical records are handled. Therapy records, session notes, billing and anything else connected to actual care are governed by the separate notices and consent forms you receive as a client, and by state and federal law. Those are different documents with different rules, and this page does not change or replace them.
2. The contact form
If you use the contact form on the home page, it collects exactly three things you type in:
- Your name
- Your email address
- Your message
There is no phone field, no intake questionnaire, and nothing else is asked for.
Submissions are handled by Netlify, the company that hosts this website, and are then emailed to the practice inbox. Netlify processes the submission on the way through and keeps a copy in the site's account. The message is read by Dr. Kimble or by someone assisting with the practice's administration, and is used only to reply to you.
The form also includes a hidden field designed to catch automated spam. It is ignored unless a bot fills it in.
Form messages are not marketing lists. Writing to this site does not sign you up for anything, and no newsletter is sent from it.
3. Website analytics
This site uses Google Analytics 4 to understand how the website is being used, in aggregate. It answers questions like which pages get read, whether visitors arrive from a search engine or a directory listing, and whether people are on a phone or a laptop. It exists to make the website better, not to identify anyone.
What it records:
- Pages viewed, and how long the visit lasted
- An approximate location, derived from your internet connection, at roughly the city level
- Device type, browser and operating system
- The website or search engine you arrived from
- Clicks on links that lead away from this site, such as the booking link
What has been deliberately switched off:
- Advertising personalization is off. This site runs no advertising and does not build advertising audiences from your visit.
- Google signals is off. Your activity here is not linked to a signed-in Google advertising profile.
- Optional data sharing with Google is off. The account-level sharing settings that would let Google use this data for its own benchmarking and modeling are unchecked.
Google Analytics 4 does not store full IP addresses. Analytics data is not sold, and it is not combined with anything from the contact form or from clinical records.
About the pages you read here. This website discusses sensitive subjects, and analytics does record which pages were viewed. It records that as a page address attached to an anonymous identifier, not to your name, and there is no way to look up an individual person in it. If you would rather leave no trace at all, section 7 explains how to switch it off in about thirty seconds, and the site works perfectly well without it.
4. Cookies used on this site
A cookie is a small file a website stores in your browser. This site uses very few, and none of them are advertising cookies.
| Cookie | Set by | Purpose | How long it lasts |
|---|---|---|---|
_ga | Google Analytics | Distinguishes one visitor from another so repeat visits are not counted twice | Up to 2 years |
_ga_WCFQG90TPZ | Google Analytics | Keeps track of the current visit for this specific site | Up to 2 years |
That is the complete list. There are no third-party advertising cookies, no tracking pixels from social networks, and no cookies that follow you to other websites. This site does not use a cookie consent banner, because there is nothing here to consent to beyond the two analytics cookies above, and section 7 gives you a direct way to refuse them.
5. Booking and other outside links
Appointments are not booked on this website. The booking buttons take you to outside services, and once you land there you are on their website under their privacy policy, not this one:
- SonderMind, for insurance-based scheduling
- SimplePractice, at clientsecure.me, for self-pay scheduling
Anything you enter on those sites, including insurance details, is handled by them. If you have questions about how they treat your information, their own privacy policies are the place to look. The same applies to any other outside link on this site, including a directory listing or a crisis resource.
6. What this site does not do
- It does not sell or rent your information. Not to anyone, for any price.
- It does not run advertising and does not use your visit to target ads at you.
- It does not have logins or accounts. There is nothing to sign up for and no password to create.
- It does not process payments. No card or banking details are ever entered on this website.
- It does not ask for health information, insurance numbers, dates of birth, or any identity document.
- It does not track you across other websites.
7. Your choices and how to opt out
Turn off analytics entirely
The simplest route is Google's own opt-out browser extension, which blocks Google Analytics on every website you visit, not just this one: tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout (opens in a new tab)
Alternatively, most browsers let you block or delete cookies in their settings, and browsing in a private or incognito window discards them when you close it. Firefox, Safari and Brave block a good deal of this by default. Any content blocker or privacy extension will also stop it.
Nothing on this site breaks if you block analytics. Every page, link and the contact form work exactly the same.
Global Privacy Control and Do Not Track
If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track signal, that is honored to the extent the tools used here support it. Because this site does not sell data or run advertising, there is little for such a signal to switch off in the first place.
Ask for your information, or ask for it to be deleted
You can ask what has been received from you, ask for a correction, or ask for it to be deleted. Email kimblenoblittschwabtherapy@gmail.com and say what you would like. In practice, for someone who has only used the contact form, that means deleting the message and the email it generated.
Two honest caveats. First, analytics data is aggregate and anonymous, so there is genuinely no individual record in it to find or remove, which is why the opt-out above is the effective remedy. Second, if you are or have been a client, clinical records are a separate matter with their own legal retention requirements, and this request route does not apply to them.
8. How long information is kept
- Contact form messages: kept while they are needed to respond and for a reasonable period afterwards, then deleted. Ask sooner and they will be deleted sooner.
- Analytics data: retained for 14 months, then deleted automatically by Google.
9. Children
This website is written for adults and is not directed at children under 13. It does not knowingly collect information from them. Parents and guardians are of course welcome to read it and to make contact about care for a young person.
10. Changes to this policy
If what the website does changes, this page changes with it, and the date at the top is updated. Material changes will be reflected here rather than announced individually, so the date is the thing to check.
11. Questions
Any question about this policy, or about information you have sent through the site:
- Email: kimblenoblittschwabtherapy@gmail.com
