Depending on how the website is configured, third-party services may also place or access cookies or similar technologies.
You may be able to restrict or disable cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of some portions of the website.
Analytics and Third-Party Technologies
We may use third-party service providers to help host, maintain, secure, or understand the use of our website.
Because healthcare websites can involve sensitive information, DBT Center of Illinois seeks to use website technologies in a manner consistent with applicable privacy requirements.
Where information constitutes Protected Health Information (“PHI”), its use and disclosure may be subject to additional protections under applicable federal and state healthcare privacy laws.
Protected Health Information and HIPAA
This Privacy Policy primarily describes privacy practices relating to the use of our public website.
If you become a client of DBT Center of Illinois, certain information we maintain about your healthcare may constitute Protected Health Information (“PHI”) and may be protected by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (“HIPAA”) and other applicable federal and state privacy laws.
Additional privacy rights and protections may apply to your health information beyond those described in this website Privacy Policy.
Contact Forms and Electronic Communications
Please be aware that ordinary internet communications may present privacy and security risks.
Do not use website contact forms or ordinary email for emergencies or to transmit highly sensitive clinical information unless you have been instructed to use an appropriate secure method.
Submitting a contact form, sending an email, or otherwise contacting us through this website does not by itself establish a therapist-client or other professional relationship with DBT Center of Illinois.
How We Share Information
We may disclose information to service providers that assist us with functions such as website hosting, communications, scheduling, information technology, security, or other business operations.
We may also disclose information when required by law, legal process, or regulatory requirements, or when reasonably necessary to protect our rights, safety, systems, or property or those of others.
When PHI is involved, additional restrictions and protections may apply under HIPAA and other applicable laws.
Data Security
We take reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information under our control.
However, no website, internet transmission, electronic communication, or data-storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Accordingly, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of information transmitted electronically.
Third-Party Websites
Our website may contain links to websites or services operated by third parties.
DBT Center of Illinois does not control the privacy practices or content of third-party websites. When you leave our website, the privacy policies and terms of the third-party website apply.
We encourage you to review the privacy practices of third-party websites before providing them with personal information.
Children's Privacy
Our clinical services may include services for children and adolescents. However, this public website is intended primarily to provide information to individuals and families seeking information about our practice and is not designed for children to independently submit personal information.
Parents or legal guardians seeking services for a minor should contact our practice directly.

Depending on applicable law and the type of information involved, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information.
You may contact us to ask questions about information you have provided through the website or to request that certain communications be discontinued.
