1.1 Information You Provide Voluntarily

When you create an account or submit a listing, we collect your name, contact details, professional credentials, and any other information you provide in your directory listing.

We collect information that you expressly provide when you fill out the form to join our directory. Where appropriate, we use this information to publicly display in your profile and to enable the search engine to include you in results. Some of the information provided is not displayed publicly but is used solely for search results. We strive to indicate clearly what information will be displayed publicly and what will not, so you have full control over the data you provide.

We may use the license or registration number provided to run a check on the California DCA website (https://search.dca.ca.gov/) to ensure your license or registration is valid and in good standing. Additionally, we may update the expiration date of your license or registration in your profile based on information documented on the DCA website.

Furthermore, some of the information you provide may also be used by us to invite you to join our events or projects, or to help therapists in the directory connect with other therapists.

When you contact us for support or inquiries, we collect your communication details and any information you provide in your messages.
