Consumer Health Data Privacy Policy

Effective and last updated: October 19, 2026

This policy explains how Las Vegas Family Therapy, LLC, doing business as Las Vegas Counseling Center, and Karen Anderson, MS, LMFT ("we," "us") collect, use, share and protect consumer health data, and the rights you have over it. It is written to meet Washington's My Health My Data Act (RCW 19.373) and Nevada's consumer health data law (NRS 603A.400 to 603A.550). It applies to information collected through karenandersonwellness.com, our forms and our emails. It adds to our general Privacy Policy.

What this policy does not cover: protected health information in your therapy record, which is governed by HIPAA and the Notice of Privacy Practices you receive as a client. Purchases at our Cleverly Human shop (cleverlyhuman.com) are covered by that shop's own privacy policy.

What "consumer health data" means here

Consumer health data is personal information that is linked or reasonably linkable to you and that identifies your past, present or future physical or mental health. For us, the simple fact that you are looking for therapy or counseling can count as consumer health data.

Categories of consumer health data we collect

We do not collect precise location data, biometric data or genetic data. We do not geofence around health care facilities. Answers you give in the "Find where to begin" guide stay in your browser and are never sent to us.

Sources of this data

Why we collect and use it

Only to provide what you ask for: to reply to you, to arrange and hold a consultation, and to decide together whether therapy or coaching is a good fit and which licensed service fits your location. We also use it to keep the required records and to protect the security of our systems. We collect and share consumer health data only with your consent, or as needed to provide a service you asked for. If we ever want to use it for another purpose, we will ask for your consent first.

How you consent

Before you send a form that may include health information, we ask for your consent to collect it for the purpose shown. You can withdraw your consent at any time (see Your rights below).

Categories of consumer health data we share, and with whom

We share consumer health data only with service providers (processors) that work for us under contract and use it only to provide their service to us:

We have no affiliates that receive consumer health data. We do not sell consumer health data and will never do so without a valid signed authorization from you, as the law requires. We do not share it with third parties for advertising.

Third parties that collect information over time

Our website platform and embedded tools may use cookies that collect information about your online activity over time and across websites, as described in our Privacy Policy. We do not use them to infer or target health information.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, Washington and Nevada law give you these rights over your consumer health data:

We will not deny you services, charge you more or treat you differently for using these rights. Requests are free, up to twice a year. Records we must keep by law, such as clinical records required by our professional licenses, may be kept for the legally required period. If so, we will tell you.

How we protect it

Access is limited to Karen and the service providers named above. Our systems use secure connections and two-step sign-in, and we follow reasonable security practices suited to how sensitive health information is.
