For questions about this Privacy Policy or the handling of your personal information, please contact us using the email address above.

- Contact us through the website.
- Request information about coaching, groups, consultations, or workshops.
- Schedule a consultation or appointment.
- Register for a workshop, group, or program.
- Join a mailing list or waitlist.
- Purchase a service or program.
This information may include your name, email address, telephone number, scheduling preferences, payment or transaction information, and any information you choose to include in a message or registration form.
We use the information you provide to:
- Respond to inquiries.
- Administer registrations and waitlists.

Professional Status and Nature of Services
Sandra Paolini is a licensed psychotherapist. However, unless expressly identified otherwise in a separate written agreement, the workshops, coaching programs, group programs, consultations, and one-to-one sessions offered through Change Work Strategies are provided as coaching, educational, or professional-development services—not as psychotherapy or other clinical treatment.
Participation in these services does not establish a therapist-client relationship. These services are not intended to diagnose or treat a mental-health condition and are not a substitute for psychotherapy, medical care, crisis intervention, or other appropriate professional treatment.
If psychotherapy services are arranged separately, that relationship will be governed by separate informed-consent documents, privacy notices, and clinical procedures.
Because ordinary website forms, email, workshop registration forms, and general scheduling systems may not be appropriate for confidential clinical communications, please do not submit therapy records, diagnoses, treatment histories, detailed health information, psychotherapy information, or other sensitive clinical material through them.
If you voluntarily include sensitive personal or health information in a general inquiry, we will use it only as reasonably necessary to respond to and administer your request. However, visitors are strongly encouraged to limit website communications to basic contact, scheduling, and registration information.
Scheduling and Registration Services
When you schedule an appointment, register for a workshop, or join a program, your information may be collected or processed by an outside scheduling or registration provider.
That provider may collect information such as your name, email address, telephone number, appointment selections, registration information, and other information you choose to provide.
Information collected directly by an outside scheduling or registration provider is also governed by that provider’s privacy policy and terms.
Please do not include sensitive health or clinical information in a scheduling or registration form unless the form specifically requests it and you have been instructed to use it for that purpose.
Payment Information
Payments may be processed by a third-party payment provider. Change Work Strategies does not intentionally store complete credit-card numbers on this website.
The payment provider may collect payment-card information, billing information, transaction details, device information, and information required to prevent fraud and complete the transaction. The provider’s handling of that information is governed by its own privacy policy and terms.
We may retain transaction records—including the purchaser’s name, service purchased, amount paid, date, and payment status—for accounting, tax, dispute-resolution, and legal purposes.
Contact Forms and Email
If you submit a contact form, send an email, join a waitlist, or request information, we use the information you provide to respond to you and administer your request.
We do not sell the contents of contact forms or private email correspondence.
Contact and inquiry records may be retained for up to 24 months after the last communication, or longer when reasonably necessary to provide services, maintain appropriate business records, resolve a dispute, or meet a legal or professional obligation.
Email and general website forms should not be used to communicate confidential psychotherapy or other sensitive clinical information.
Comments
This website does not currently invite visitors to leave public comments.
If comments are enabled in the future, this Privacy Policy will be updated to describe what information is collected and how it is used.
Media
Visitors are not currently invited to upload public media files to this website.
If an upload feature is added in the future, users should avoid uploading files containing embedded location information or other information they do not want disclosed.

Website and Security Logs
The website’s hosting provider, security tools, caching tools, and WordPress plugins may automatically process technical information such as:
- IP address.
- Browser and device type.
- Date and time of access.
- Pages requested.
- Referring website.
- Error logs.
- Security and fraud-prevention information.
This information is used to operate the website, diagnose technical problems, prevent fraud or abuse, maintain security, and understand general website use.
Who We Share Information With
We may share information with service providers when reasonably necessary to operate the website and provide requested services.
These providers may include:
- Website hosting and maintenance providers.
- Scheduling and registration platforms.

- Email and communication providers.
- Advertising and analytics providers, including Meta.

We do not sell personal information for money.
Some advertising technologies may constitute “sharing” or targeted advertising under certain state privacy laws. Where applicable, users may have the right to opt out of those activities.
How Long We Retain Information
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected and to meet applicable legal, tax, accounting, contractual, and professional obligations.
Generally:
- Contact and inquiry records may be retained for up to 24 months after the last communication.
- Registration and service records may be retained while services are active and for a reasonable period afterward.
- Transaction and tax records may be retained for up to seven years.
- Advertising, analytics, cookie, and technical information is retained according to the settings and policies of the applicable service providers.
- Information may be retained longer when necessary to resolve disputes, enforce agreements, protect legal rights, or comply with the law.
Records associated with a separately established psychotherapy relationship are governed by the clinical privacy notices, informed-consent documents, professional requirements, and applicable laws associated with that relationship.
Your Privacy Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:
- Request access to personal information held about you.
- Request correction of inaccurate information.
- Request deletion of certain information.
- Object to or restrict certain uses of your information.
- Withdraw consent when processing is based on consent.
- Opt out of certain targeted advertising or data sharing.
- Request a portable copy of certain information.
- Submit a privacy complaint without being discriminated against.
These rights are subject to applicable exceptions and record-retention obligations.

Where Information Is Processed
Change Work Strategies operates in the United States.
Website, scheduling, payment, email, advertising, and hosting providers may process information in the United States or other countries.
When information is processed by an outside provider, it is subject to that provider’s privacy practices, security measures, and applicable contractual or legal safeguards.
How We Protect Information
We use reasonable administrative and technical measures appropriate to the nature of the information handled.
These measures may include:
- Encrypted website connections.
- Access restrictions.
- Software and security updates.
- Security monitoring.
- Established third-party service providers.
No website, email system, storage system, or electronic transmission is completely secure. Therefore, absolute security cannot be guaranteed.
Data-Breach Procedures
If we become aware of a security incident involving personal information, we will investigate the incident, take reasonable steps to limit further harm, and provide notifications when required by applicable law.
Information Received From Third Parties
We may receive information from scheduling services, payment processors, advertising platforms, registration providers, or other services when you use those platforms to interact with Change Work Strategies.
The information received may include:
- Contact information.
- Appointment or registration details.
- Transaction status.
- Advertising-performance information.
- Information necessary to administer a service you requested.
Automated Decision-Making
Change Work Strategies does not use website information to make decisions about visitors solely through an automated system.
Advertising providers such as Meta may use automated systems to measure advertisements, create audiences, or personalize advertising according to their own policies and users’ account settings.
Adults-Only Services
Change Work Strategies workshops, coaching programs, groups, consultations, and related services are intended for adults age 18 and older.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from or provide these services to anyone under 18.
External Links and Embedded Services
This website may contain links to outside websites, scheduling platforms, payment services, videos, social-media services, or other embedded content.
Those services may collect information independently and are governed by their own privacy policies and terms.
Change Work Strategies is not responsible for the privacy practices of unrelated third-party websites or services.
