This Privacy Policy explains how drmarnee.com collects, uses, and protects information when you visit this website. It applies only to this website. Your privacy as a client is protected separately, as described below.
Who we are
This website, drmarnee.com, is operated by Marnee Firestone, Psy.D., P.A., a psychology practice located at 2200 NW Corporate Blvd., Suite 315, Boca Raton, FL 33431. You can reach us at 561-393-6080 or drmarnee@gmail.com.
Your clinical information is protected separately
This policy covers website use only. If you become a client, your health information and records are protected under Florida law and professional ethics standards, and are described in the practice’s Notice of Privacy Practices, which you receive at intake [and can request at any time].
Please do not send health information, symptoms, diagnoses, or other personal clinical details through this website, its contact forms, or by regular email. Email is not a secure form of communication. To share sensitive information, call the office or use the secure client portal after scheduling.
Scheduling and the client portal
Appointment requests, intake forms, and client communication are handled through SimplePractice, a secure practice management platform designed for health care providers. When you click a “Book a Consultation” link, you leave this website and go to the SimplePractice client portal, where SimplePractice’s privacy and security practices apply. Information you enter there is not stored on this website.
Information we collect on this website
Information collected automatically. Like most websites, this site may collect basic technical information when you visit, such as your IP address, browser type, device type, and the pages you view. This information is used to keep the site secure and working properly. It is not used to identify you personally.

Cookies. Cookies are small files stored in your browser. This site uses cookies for basic functions:

Visitors who don’t log in are not affected. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Most of the site will still work.
Embedded content from other websites
Some pages may include embedded content, such as videos, podcasts, or articles, from other websites. That content behaves as if you visited the other website directly. Those sites may collect data about you, use cookies, and track your interaction with the embedded content, especially if you have an account with them and are logged in.

This site links to other websites, including SimplePractice, PSYPACT, and professional resources. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites and encourage you to read their policies.
How we share information
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We share information only:
- with service providers that help operate this website, such as our web hosting company [and analytics provider], and only as needed for them to provide their services;

Your choices and rights
You may ask us to tell you what personal information this website holds about you, or to correct or delete it, by contacting drmarnee@gmail.com.

This does not apply to clinical records, which are governed by the Notice of Privacy Practices and applicable law.
Security
We take reasonable steps to protect this website, including [secure (HTTPS) connections and regular software updates]. No website or internet transmission is completely secure, which is another reason we ask that you not send health information through this site or by email.
