When you use our site, we may also use cookies or similar technology to collect other data including:

How we use your personal data
We use your data to:

Security of your personal data
We have implemented technical and organizational controls to protect your personal data.
Unfortunately, sending information across the internet, including personal data, is not completely secure. We cannot guarantee the security of any personal data sent to our site while still in transit and so you provide it at your own risk. Despite this, the information you send to us with our online form provides your information the most protection because it uses end-to-end encryption--from your sending it to our receiving it.
Once your personal data is with us, we have controls in place to safeguard your information, and we will do our best to protect it. McGee Therapy, including employed or contracted “staff,” who have access to your personal data are made aware of how to keep it confidential, and are kept up to date on our policies and procedures for protecting personal data and information.
When we share your personal data
In limited ways, we share your personal data with other service provider organizations that are not directly linked to us. This is so we may obtain insights and analytics we can use to improve our website. For example, we use Google Analytics to understand how visitors engage with our site. If you don’t want Google Analytics to be used in your browser, you can install the ‘Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-On’ that is available from Google. In addition, we may use error tracking software or services to help us diagnose and fix errors or to optimize the performance of our website.
When we may contact you
You will only be contacted if you have submitted a form or initiated a query with us. In this case, we may contact you to answer your query or to resolve your issue.
Cookies and similar technologies
When you visit our site, we may collect personal data from you automatically using cookies or similar technologies. A cookie is a small file that can be placed on your device that allows us to recognize and remember you. It is sent to your browser and stored on your computer’s hard drive or tablet or mobile device. When you visit our website, we may collect information from you automatically through cookies or similar technology, such as a tag, pixel, or other web beacon.
How do we use cookies?
We use cookies to improve your experience on our site by understanding how you use our website. Performance cookies measure how often you visit our site and how you use it.

You may stop your browser from accepting cookies altogether by changing your browser’s cookie settings. Often, you can control cookie usage settings in the menu of your browser under “options” or “preferences.”
Anonymized data
