Privacy Policy

​

Effective Date: January 1, 2025
 

Urth Bodyworks LLC ("we," "us," or "our"), is committed to respecting and protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how personal information is collected, used, stored, and safeguarded when you visit this website or receive mobile massage and bodywork services.

​

This practice follows privacy and confidentiality standards consistent with professional ethics and HIPAA-adjacent best practices, while recognizing that massage and bodywork providers are not typically classified as covered entities under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).

​

Information We Collect

​

We collect only the information necessary to provide safe, effective, and professional services. This may include:

​

• Name

• Email address

• Phone number

• Appointment and scheduling details

• Client intake information related to health history, goals, or contraindications for bodywork

​

In addition, limited non-personal information (such as browser type or pages visited) may be collected automatically through standard website analytics tools.

​

How Your Information Is Used

​

Personal information is used solely for purposes directly related to your care and experience, including:

​

• Scheduling, confirming, and managing appointments

• Communicating about services, policies, or relevant updates

• Maintaining client records in accordance with professional standards

• Supporting continuity of care and informed consent

• Improving website functionality and service delivery

​

Your information is never sold, rented, or shared for marketing purposes.

​

Health Information & Confidentiality Practices

​

Any health or intake information you provide is treated as confidential and handled with care consistent with HIPAA-informed privacy principles, including:

​

• Collecting only information relevant to bodywork services

• Limiting access to client information to the sole practitioner (Marissa Adams)

• Using information only to support safe and appropriate care

• Avoiding unnecessary disclosure of personal or health-related details

​

Client information is not shared without your explicit consent, except when required by law.

​

Data Storage & Security

​

Reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards are used to protect personal information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or disclosure. These safeguards may include secure digital platforms, password protection, and limited data retention.

While no system can guarantee absolute security, care is taken to follow industry-standard practices appropriate for a small, mobile wellness practice.

​

Third-Party Services

​

This website and business operations may rely on trusted third-party platforms for:

​

• Online scheduling

• Payment processing

• Email communication

• Website analytics

​

These providers are responsible for the information they manage and operate under their own privacy policies. Only platforms that align with reasonable data-protection standards are used.

​

This website may use cookies or similar technologies to understand site usage and improve performance. You may adjust your browser settings to decline cookies if you prefer, though some site features may be limited as a result.

​
