This Privacy Policy governs information collected through our website only.
The collection, use, disclosure, and protection of PHI are governed by our separate Notice of Privacy Practices, which explains your rights under HIPAA and how your medical information may be used and disclosed.

If you contact us through our website, email, or online forms, we will use the information you provide to respond to your inquiry or request.
Website forms are intended for general communication only.
Please do not submit confidential medical information, treatment details, insurance information, Social Security numbers, or other highly sensitive information through website forms unless specifically requested by our staff.
If you are experiencing a medical emergency or mental health crisis, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department immediately.
Children's Privacy
Cornerstone Treatment Center provides behavioral health services for children and adolescents; however, this website is intended primarily for parents, legal guardians, caregivers, referral sources, healthcare professionals, and other adults.
We do not knowingly collect personal information online directly from children under the age of 13 without appropriate parental involvement, as required by applicable law.
If we become aware that information has been collected from a child in a manner inconsistent with applicable law, we will take reasonable steps to delete that information.

When information is no longer needed, we take reasonable steps to securely delete or dispose of it in accordance with applicable laws and business practices.
Data Security
We maintain reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect the information collected through our website from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.
Our website is hosted on Wix's secure infrastructure, which employs industry-standard security measures.
While we strive to protect personal information, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is completely secure. Accordingly, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
