Privacy Policy
This policy explains what information this website collects, how it is used, and how it is protected. It applies to drseabrook.com.
This is not the same as our Notice of Privacy Practices, which describes how protected health information is handled once you become a patient. That document is provided separately.
We use the information you provide to:
Respond to your inquiry
Determine whether our services are an appropriate fit for your needs
Schedule an initial consultation or appointment, if you choose to proceed
Send administrative text messages, if you have consented to receive them
Send occasional practice updates, if you have separately opted in to those
We do not sell your information, and we do not share it with third parties for their own marketing purposes.
We do not send you promotional material unless you have separately opted in by checking the updates box on our contact form. Opting in is entirely optional and is not required to contact us or to become a patient. You can unsubscribe from those messages at any time using the link in any message, or by emailing contact@drseabrook.com.
Consent to receive text messages is optional. You can contact us, become a patient, and receive all of our services without agreeing to text messaging.
If you check the consent box on our contact form, you agree to receive SMS text messages from Seabrook Psychological Services PLLC regarding your inquiry, scheduling, appointments, and related administrative communications. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply.
Reply STOP to any message to opt out. Reply HELP for assistance.
Text messages are not a secure or confidential method of communication. Please keep them to scheduling and administrative matters, and do not use text messages in an emergency. If you are in crisis, call or text 988, or call 911.
No mobile information will be shared with third parties/affiliates for marketing/promotional purposes. Information sharing with subcontractors for support services, such as customer service, is permitted. All other use case categories exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties.
We do not share or sell consumer personal information, including phone numbers, to third parties or affiliates for marketing or lead generation purposes.
Contact form submissions. Submissions are transmitted over an encrypted connection and stored in a private Google Workspace account controlled solely by this practice. Google Workspace operates under a Business Associate Agreement with this practice. Submissions are retained for 60 days and then automatically deleted. This is an intake channel, not a records system — anything that needs to be kept is moved into our electronic health record.
Client portal and record uploads. If we are moving forward with your inquiry, we may create a record for you in SimplePractice, our practice management and electronic health record system, and send you a secure client portal invitation. The portal allows you to upload prior evaluations, school records, medical records, or other documents relevant to your care.
Documents you upload through the portal are stored in SimplePractice, which operates under a Business Associate Agreement with this practice. Please upload records only through the portal rather than by email, as email is not a secure channel for this kind of material.
Email, telephone, and text messages. Our email is provided by Microsoft, and our telephone and text messaging services are provided by Zoom. Both operate under Business Associate Agreements with this practice.
Text messages travel across cellular carrier networks, which are not covered by any of these agreements, and they arrive on a device we do not control. This is why we limit text messages to scheduling and administrative matters and ask that you do the same.
How long we keep records. Once you are a patient, the information we hold about you — including anything you uploaded — is governed by our Notice of Privacy Practices rather than by this policy.
Florida law requires licensed psychologists to retain psychological records for a minimum of three years after the completion of services or the date of last contact, whichever is later, and to retain the records or a summary of them for an additional four years after that. Where these requirements apply, we retain records for the required period even if you ask us to delete them, and even if you did not go on to receive services.
Where no retention requirement applies, you may ask us to delete a portal record and any documents you uploaded, and we will do so. Contact us using the details below and we will tell you which of these applies to your situation.
Access to contact form submissions is limited to Dr. Seabrook. We do not provide access to third parties except to service providers who help operate the practice, and only to the extent needed to do so.
We may disclose information where required by law, including mandatory reporting obligations that apply to psychologists licensed in Florida.
Please do not include detailed clinical information, diagnoses, or sensitive personal history in your initial contact form message or in email. A brief description of what you are seeking is enough. We will discuss details securely once contact is established.
You may:
Ask what information we hold about you
Ask us to correct it, or to delete it where no legal retention requirement applies
Withdraw consent to text messages at any time by replying STOP
Ask us not to contact you further
To make any of these requests, email contact@drseabrook.com or call (727) 617-5293.
This website is not directed to children, and our services are provided to adults. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18 through this website.
We may update this policy. The effective date at the top reflects the most recent version.
