Privacy Policy

Effective Date: September 29, 2026

Michele Whitman (“Michele Whitman,” “I,” “me,” or “my”) respects your privacy and is committed to being transparent about how information is collected, used, and protected when you visit michelewhitman.com, contact me, book a service, purchase a coaching package, or otherwise interact with my website and services.

INFORMATION I COLLECT

I may collect information that you voluntarily provide, including your name, email address, telephone number, account information, booking information, responses to booking or intake questions, communications with me, and information necessary to provide coaching services.

When you make a purchase, payment and transaction information is processed through the payment services available through this website. I do not independently store your complete credit or debit card number.

The website may also automatically collect certain technical information, such as your IP address, browser or device information, pages visited, and information collected through cookies or similar technologies.

HOW INFORMATION IS COLLECTED

Information may be collected when you book a session, purchase a coaching package, create or use a member account, submit a form, communicate with me by email or telephone, or otherwise voluntarily provide information through the website.

Certain technical information may also be collected automatically when you use the website.

HOW I USE YOUR INFORMATION

I may use information collected to provide and administer coaching services; schedule and manage appointments; process purchases and payments; create and manage client or member accounts; communicate about appointments, purchases, services, or inquiries; provide customer support; maintain appropriate business and transaction records; operate, secure, and improve the website; and comply with applicable legal requirements.

I do not sell your personal information.

COACHING AND INFORMATION YOU SHARE

Because coaching conversations and intake or booking questions may involve personal matters, please share only information you are comfortable providing through online forms and communications.

Information provided in connection with coaching is used to provide and administer the services you request. Coaching is not psychotherapy, medical care, or another licensed healthcare service, and this website should not be used to submit emergency medical or mental-health information.

WEBSITE HOSTING AND SERVICE PROVIDERS

This website is hosted on the Wix platform. Wix provides website hosting and functionality that may include bookings, member accounts, forms, customer records, and payment-related services. Information submitted through the website may therefore be stored or processed through Wix and its service providers.

I may also use third-party services when reasonably necessary to operate my business and provide services, including Google services for email, calendar, and virtual meetings, payment processors, and other technology providers. These providers may process information according to their own privacy policies and terms.

PAYMENTS

Payments made through this website are processed using payment providers made available through Wix. Payment providers maintain their own security and privacy practices. Complete payment-card information is handled through the applicable payment-processing systems rather than being independently maintained by Michele Whitman.

COOKIES AND WEBSITE TECHNOLOGIES

This website may use cookies and similar technologies necessary for website functionality, security, bookings, member accounts, preferences, and website performance. Wix and third-party services integrated with the website may also use their own cookies or similar technologies.

You may be able to control certain cookies through your browser settings and, where available, through the website's cookie controls.

COMMUNICATIONS

I may contact you using information you provide in connection with an inquiry, booking, purchase, account, or coaching relationship. Communications may include appointment confirmations and reminders, service-related information, responses to inquiries, and other communications necessary to provide the services you request.

If I offer optional marketing emails or promotional communications, you may unsubscribe at any time using the unsubscribe option provided or by contacting me.

HOW INFORMATION MAY BE SHARED

I may share information only as reasonably necessary to operate the website and business, provide services you request, process payments, manage appointments and communications, comply with legal obligations, protect legal rights or security, or work with service providers that support these functions.

I do not sell personal information to third parties.

DATA RETENTION AND SECURITY

I retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including providing services, maintaining appropriate business and transaction records, resolving disputes, and meeting legal obligations.

Reasonable administrative and technological safeguards are used to protect personal information. However, no website, electronic communication, or online storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

YOUR PRIVACY CHOICES

You may contact me to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information I maintain about you, subject to applicable legal requirements and legitimate record-retention obligations.

You may also contact me if you wish to withdraw consent for an optional use of your information.

CHILDREN'S PRIVACY

This website and my coaching services are intended for adults and are not directed to children under 13. I do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through this website.

THIRD-PARTY LINKS

This website may contain links to third-party websites or services. I am not responsible for the privacy practices, security, or content of websites or services that I do not control.

CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY

I may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in the website, services, business practices, technology, or applicable requirements. Updates will be posted on this page with a revised effective date.
