Privacy policy.
Who We Are
Still Within Therapy operates this website as a mental health and wellness practice based in Utah and serving residents of Utah and Idaho. We are committed to supporting emotional well-being through therapy and related services. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect personal data when you interact with our site.
What Personal Data We Collect and Why
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with IP addresses and browser user agent strings to aid in spam detection.
A hashed (anonymized) version of your email address may be sent to Gravatar to check for an associated avatar. Their privacy policy can be found at https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your Gravatar image may appear alongside your comment publicly.

If you upload images (e.g., to the media library), please avoid including EXIF location data. Such information can be extracted by visitors.

Post-editing cookie: Indicates last edited post and expires after 1 day.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Posts may include embedded content (videos, images, articles). These function as if you visited the original site—they may collect data, set cookies, and track your interactions.
