Rising Hope Counseling (“Rising Hope,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect through this website, how we use it, and the choices available to you. You are welcome to browse this website without submitting any personal information. Personal information is only collected when you choose to provide it — for example, by filling out a contact or intake-request form, calling or texting one of our listed numbers, or signing up for updates.
Who we are
This website is operated by Rising Hope Counseling. Our central office is located at 420 S Henry St, Pierre, SD 57501. You can reach us using the phone numbers listed on our Contact Us page.
Information we collect
When you contact us, request services, or sign up for updates through this website, we may collect information such as your name, email address, phone number, and any other details you choose to include in a form, call, or text message. We do not sell or rent this information to third parties. We use it only to respond to you, provide the services you’ve requested, and, if you’ve agreed to receive them, to send you occasional updates about our services and this website.
We may also automatically collect certain technical information when you visit this website, such as your IP address, browser type, device information, and how you interact with our pages. This information is typically collected through cookies and similar technologies — see the “Cookies and tracking technologies” section below for details.
If you leave a comment on this site, we collect the data shown in the comment form along with your IP address and browser user agent string, to help with spam detection.
How we protect your information
We do not disclose your personal information to anyone outside of Rising Hope Counseling, except where necessary to comply with the law or a legal process, to protect our rights or property, to prevent misuse of our website, or to protect the safety of the public or our clients, staff, or website visitors. If you knowingly provide false information or attempt to impersonate another person, we reserve the right to disclose information — including IP addresses — to appropriate parties.
Cookies and tracking technologies
Like most websites, we use cookies and similar technologies to keep the site working properly, remember your preferences, understand which pages are most useful to visitors, and, where you’ve allowed it, to support advertising and analytics. You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings at any time; doing so may require you to re-enter some information more often and may limit some features of the site.
This site uses a consent management tool that lets you choose which categories of cookies and data sharing you’re comfortable with. You can review or change your choices at any time using the “Your Privacy Choices” link in the site footer.
Your privacy choices
Depending on where you live, certain U.S. state privacy laws may give you rights over the personal information collected about you through this website, which can include the right to:
- Know what personal information we’ve collected about you and how it’s been used and shared
- Request that we delete personal information we’ve collected about you
- Request that we correct inaccurate personal information
- Opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information, or its use for targeted advertising
- Not be discriminated against for exercising any of these rights
You can exercise your opt-out choices at any time using the “Your Privacy Choices” link in the site footer, or by contacting us using the information on our Contact Us page. We will not discriminate against you for exercising any privacy right available to you under applicable law.
A note about health information
This policy covers information collected through this website only. If you are a client of Rising Hope Counseling, information related to your care — such as clinical records, treatment history, or other protected health information — is governed separately by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and our related notice of privacy practices, not by this website privacy policy. Please contact us directly if you have questions about how your health information is handled.
Referrals
If you submit a referral through this website on behalf of someone else, we use the information you provide solely to follow up on that referral and coordinate care. Please only submit information for another person if you are authorized to do so.
Changes to this policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page along with an updated “Last updated” date above.
