At The Artemis Center for Guidance, the trust between a therapist and a patient is sacred. As we integrate modern technology to improve our administrative efficiency and patient accessibility, we remain committed to the highest standards of clinical integrity and data security.

1. Our “Privacy-First” Philosophy
We believe that technology should serve the healing process, never complicate it. We partner with Privacy First Digital to ensure that every AI tool used within our practice meets or exceeds HIPAA requirements. We do not use “black box” technologies that compromise your personal health information (PHI).

2. How We Use Technology
To provide you with the best possible care experience, we utilize AI and advanced digital tools in the following limited capacities:

• Administrative Streamlining: To help you book appointments faster and reduce wait times.
• Accessibility: To ensure our digital resources are easy to find and navigate for those seeking help.
• Operational Support: To allow our clinicians to spend less time on paperwork and more time in face-to-face care.

3. What We Never Do

• No Clinical Data Mining: We do not use AI to analyze the contents of your therapy sessions for third-party marketing or “training” of public AI models.
• No Unauthorized Sharing: Your data is never sold or shared with tech companies for their own profit.
• No Replacement for Human Care: AI is a tool for our staff, not a replacement for your provider. All clinical decisions are made by human professionals.

4. Continuous Compliance
Our systems are regularly audited for HIPAA compliance. We employ Advanced Encryption and Secure Tracking protocols to ensure that your digital footprint remains private. We are committed to transparency; as technology evolves, our privacy protocols will evolve even faster to protect you.

Patient Choice: If you have questions about the specific tools we use to manage your care, or if you wish to opt-out of specific digital communication features, please contact our us.
