Confidentiality POLICY
Effective Date: 8.2.25
At Elvar Strategy Firm, we value your trust. This Confidentiality Policy explains how we handle the information you share during our work together.
1. Private and Professional Communication
All conversations, sessions, and materials shared between you and Elvar Strategy Firm are treated as confidential. We do not disclose your information to others unless:
You give explicit, written permission to share specific details.
We are legally required to disclose information (e.g., court order, risk of harm).
2. Storage of Information
Session notes, intake forms, and performance materials are stored securely and only accessible to your consultant. We use encrypted digital storage and password protection when applicable.
3. Not Bound by Therapist-Client Privilege
Although confidentiality is a top priority, Elvar Strategy Firm is not a licensed therapy or medical practice. Therefore, your information is not protected by therapist-client or doctor-patient privilege under state or federal law. However, we voluntarily commit to holding your information with discretion and professionalism.
4. Exceptions to Confidentiality
We may be legally or ethically required to disclose information if any of the following apply:
You disclose intent to harm yourself or others.
There is suspected abuse or neglect of a minor, elderly person, or dependent adult.
We are compelled by court order or legal investigation.
5. Use of Aggregated Insights
From time to time, we may analyze trends across clients to improve our services. This information is always de-identified and aggregated. No individual names or specific situations will ever be shared without consent.
6. Communication Tools
We may communicate via email, phone, text, or video. While we take steps to protect privacy, no digital platform is 100% secure. You accept some inherent risk when using electronic communication.
7. Questions
