Privacy Policy
Lauren Rodarte respects your privacy and is committed to protecting it. This Privacy Policy explains how your information is collected, used, and safeguarded when you access or use www.RodarteLMFT.com (the “Website”), including any content, features, or services offered, whether as a guest or registered user. By using the Website, you consent to the practices described in this policy. If you do not agree with any part of the Privacy Policy, please do not use the Website. This policy applies to information collected through the Website and in electronic communications between you and the Website, including email and text.
​
Children Under the Age of 13: This Website is not intended for children under 13. I do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under this age. If you are under 13, please do not use the Website or provide any personal information, including your name, address, phone number, email, or username. If I become aware that personal information has been collected from a child under 13 without verified parental consent, it will be deleted. If you believe I may have information from or about a child under 13, please contact me at: 1401 Fair Oaks Ave, South Pasadena, CA 91030
​​
Information I Collect About You: When you visit my Website, I may collect certain information about you during your visit. You may voluntarily provide information by filling out forms, using the contact form, responding to surveys, entering search queries, leaving comments, or placing an order. I use this information to deliver requested products or services, improve the Website's performance, and provide relevant updates or responses.
​
Automatically Collected Information: As you navigate the Website, I may use tools like Google Analytics to automatically collect data about your device, browsing actions, and usage patterns. This may include details such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, and location data. This information helps me understand how users interact with the site and is used for statistical analysis and website improvement. It does not include personal information unless you voluntarily provide it, in which case it may be associated with the data collected automatically.
​
Use of Cookies: Like many websites, I use standard technologies such as cookies and server logs to gather information about how visitors use my site. This may include the date and time of visits, pages viewed, time spent on the site, referring and exit websites, and your IP address. Cookies are small text files with a unique anonymous identifier, stored on your device’s hard drive with your permission. They help websites recognize your browser and remember certain information. Your browser allows only the website that set the cookie to access it—not cookies from other sites. California law requires that I disclose whether I respond to "Do Not Track" (DNT) signals. At this time, there is no consistent industry standard for recognizing DNT requests, so my Website does not currently respond to them.
​
Email Information: If you choose to communicate with me via email, I may retain your message, your email address, and my response. I treat these communications with the same level of care and protection that I apply to all personal information collected through my website, by mail, or over the phone. This policy also applies if you register on my website, sign up through any of my forms using your email address, or make a purchase. For more details, please see the email policies outlined below.
​
Email Policies: I am committed to keeping your email address private and secure. I do not sell, rent, or share my email list with third parties, and I will never disclose your email address except as described in the Disclosure of Your Information section. Any information you send via email will be handled in accordance with applicable federal laws. In compliance with the CAN-SPAM Act, all emails sent from me will clearly identify the sender and include instructions on how to contact me.
​
Disclosure of your information: As a general rule, I do not sell, rent, lease, or otherwise share any information you provide—whether collected automatically or voluntarily. However, I may share your personal information with trusted service providers, affiliates, or contractors who help me operate my business and deliver services to you. In some cases, I may need to disclose your information to a third party—such as a lawyer or collection agency—to enforce my Terms of Service or other agreements between us. If my business is ever involved in a merger, reorganization, or transfer of assets, your information may be shared with the new owners or successors. Lastly, I may disclose your information when required by law, such as in response to a court order or government request, or when I believe it’s necessary to protect my rights or comply with legal obligations.
​
How I Protect Your Information: I use commercially reasonable methods to protect the information you share with me, including standard security protocols and working only with trusted third-party providers. Please note that email is not a secure method of communication. I recommend you avoid sending sensitive information via email. If you choose to do so, it's at your own risk. I never transmit credit card or other highly sensitive details via email. To help improve the website, I may use software tools to gather statistics—such as the number of visitors, most viewed pages, and overall system performance. These tools also help monitor for unauthorized access or attempts to tamper with the site, ensuring a safe experience for all users.
​
Policy Changes: I’ll post any updates to this Privacy Policy on this page. If I make significant changes to how I handle your personal information, I’ll notify you either by email (using the address you’ve provided) and/or with a notice on the homepage of my website. The “last updated” date at the bottom of this page reflects when the policy was most recently revised. It’s your responsibility to keep your email address current and to check this page from time to time for any updates.
