PRIVACY STATEMENT

Confidentiality is a respected part of psychology's code of ethics. Psychologists understand that for people to feel comfortable talking about private and revealing information, they need a safe place to talk about anything they'd like, without fear of that information being divleged to other individuals. Control Key Life Style take your privacy very seriously. Your privacy is also protected under the RIGHT OF CLERGY which also covers AdvanCN's Control Key Subsidery Spiritual Conseling Serivces,which includes the ControtKeyLifeStyle.com website, all data, and databases connected or linked hereto that store your membership and service data,.

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) contains a privacy rule that creates national standards to protect individuals' medical records and personal health information, including information about psychotherapy and mental health.

The HIPAA Privacy Rule is designed to be a minimum level of protection. Some states have even stricter laws in place to protect your personal health information. You can contact your state's board of psychology to find out its laws and protections.

Penitent Privilege Law Definition: The priest/clergy-penitent privilege protects communications between a person and a clergy member acting in a professional capacity as a spiritual adviser from disclosure.
A clergyman uses the priest-penitent privilege to refuse to divulge confidential information received from a person during confession, counseling, or similar exchanges.

ADVANCN nor its subsidery Control Key Life Style, will not sell, rent, lease, nor release your personal information to others, with the exception of state law or mandate.

When can a psychologist or spiritual advisor share my private information without my consent?

In some specific situations, psychologists and spiritiual advisors can share information without the client's written consent. Common exceptions are:

• Disclose of private information without consent in order to protect the patient or the public from serious harm — if, for example, a client discusses plans to attempt suicide or harm another person.
• We are required to report ongoing domestic violence, abuse or neglect of children, the elderly or people with disabilities. (However, if an adult discloses that he or she was abused as a child, the psychologist typically isn't bound to report that abuse, unless there are other children continuing to be abused.)
