Privacy Policy
Effective Date: September 9, 2026
Sam Sarahbi LLC (“we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how information may be collected, used, stored, and shared when you visit samsarahbi.com, contact us, subscribe to communications, book or participate in Personal Strategy services, or otherwise interact with Sam Sarahbi LLC.
1. Information We Collect

Your response to “What are you trying to figure out?”;
Appointment and scheduling information;
Communications you send to us;
Agreements and acknowledgments you complete;
Newsletter subscription information;
Payment and transaction information; and
Information you choose to provide in connection with Personal Strategy services.
Our website and third-party service providers may also automatically collect certain technical information, such as IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, referring websites, and information collected through cookies or similar technologies.
2. How We Use Information
We may use information to:
Respond to inquiries;
Schedule and provide Personal Strategy services;
Process payments;
Communicate about appointments;
Maintain appropriate business and transaction records;
Send communications you have requested, including newsletter emails;
Operate, maintain, secure, and improve our website and services;
Prevent fraud, misuse, or security problems;
Comply with legal obligations; and
Protect our rights and legitimate business interests.
We do not sell your personal information.
3. Personal Strategy Information
Personal Strategy is a nonclinical consulting service and is not psychotherapy, psychological treatment, mental-health counseling, or healthcare.
Please do not submit medical records, mental-health treatment records, psychological testing records, Social Security numbers, financial-account credentials, passwords, or similarly sensitive information through the website, contact forms, scheduling system, or email unless we have specifically agreed in advance that the information is appropriate and necessary.
Information provided in connection with Personal Strategy services is also handled in accordance with the Personal Strategy Services Agreement.
4. Scheduling
Appointment scheduling may be provided through Acuity Scheduling, Squarespace, or another scheduling service used by Sam Sarahbi LLC.
Information submitted when requesting or scheduling an appointment may be processed by the applicable scheduling provider in accordance with that provider’s terms and privacy practices.
5. Payments
Payments may be processed through Stripe or another payment processor identified at the time of payment.
Sam Sarahbi LLC does not directly receive or store complete payment-card information when payment information is submitted directly through a third-party payment processor.
Payment processors collect and process payment information according to their own terms and privacy practices.
We may retain transaction information necessary for accounting, tax, business-record, dispute-resolution, and other legitimate business purposes.
6. Website Hosting
Samsarahbi.com is hosted through Squarespace.
Squarespace and related service providers may process technical, usage, and other information necessary to host, secure, maintain, and operate the website.
7. Personal Strategy Session Formats
Personal Strategy sessions may be conducted in person, by telephone, by videoconference, or through another mutually agreed-upon format.
When sessions are conducted using a third-party communications service, such as Zoom or another videoconferencing or telecommunications provider, information transmitted through that service may also be subject to the provider’s privacy and security practices.
Clients participating remotely are responsible for choosing a location, device, and method of communication that provide an appropriate level of privacy for their participation.
When a Client chooses to participate in an in-person session in a public, shared, or otherwise nonprivate location, the Client understands that the privacy of the conversation may be more limited than it would be in a private setting.
Sam Sarahbi LLC does not record Personal Strategy sessions without the Client’s express prior consent.
8. Email and Newsletter Communications
If you subscribe to our newsletter or other optional communications, we may use your email address to send those communications.
You may unsubscribe from optional marketing or newsletter emails at any time using the unsubscribe option included in the message.
Unsubscribing from marketing communications does not prevent us from sending administrative or transactional communications related to services you have requested or purchased.
Email may also be used for scheduling, appointment information, administrative communications, and other communications related to an existing or requested service.
9. Cookies and Website Analytics
Our website and its service providers may use cookies and similar technologies to operate the website, remember preferences, understand website traffic and usage, maintain security, and improve website performance.
Third-party services integrated with the website may also use cookies or similar technologies according to their own privacy practices.
Most browsers allow users to restrict, block, or delete cookies. Doing so may affect the operation of certain website features.
10. When Information May Be Shared
We may share information when reasonably necessary with service providers that help us operate the business, including providers of:
Website hosting;
Scheduling;
Payment processing;
Email and communications;
Videoconferencing or telecommunications;
Data storage;
Accounting or business administration; and
Professional services.
We may also disclose information when reasonably necessary to:
Comply with applicable law;

Protect our legal rights or interests;

Enforce agreements or business policies; or
Address an imminent threat of serious harm to the extent permitted or required by applicable law.
We do not sell client information to third parties.
11. Client Confidentiality
We make reasonable efforts to protect information provided by Personal Strategy clients from unnecessary disclosure.
Personal Strategy is not psychotherapy, healthcare, or legal representation. Communications should not be assumed to be protected by psychologist-patient, therapist-client, physician-patient, attorney-client, or another professional evidentiary privilege.
We will not publicly identify an individual as a Personal Strategy client or use personally identifying client information in testimonials, marketing, teaching, publications, social media, or other public materials without that individual’s separate permission.
12. Data Security
We use reasonable administrative and technical measures appropriate to the nature of our business and the information we maintain.
No website, email system, telephone service, electronic transmission, videoconferencing platform, scheduling system, payment system, or data-storage method can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Accordingly, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of information transmitted to or maintained by us or by third-party service providers.
13. Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to:
Provide requested services;
Maintain appropriate business and transaction records;
Meet accounting and tax requirements;
Comply with applicable legal obligations;
Resolve disputes;
Enforce agreements; and
Protect legitimate business interests.
Information that is no longer reasonably necessary may be deleted or securely disposed of, subject to applicable legal and business record-retention requirements.
14. Third-Party Websites and Services
Our website may contain links to third-party websites or use third-party platforms and services.
Sam Sarahbi LLC does not control the privacy, security, or data practices of independent third parties.
Information provided directly to a third party is subject to that party’s applicable privacy policies, terms, and practices.
15. Children’s Privacy
Our website and Personal Strategy services are intended for adults.
Sam Sarahbi LLC does not knowingly offer Personal Strategy services to children or knowingly solicit personal information from children through the website.
If we learn that personal information from a child has been collected in circumstances in which it should not have been collected, we will take reasonable steps to delete the information as appropriate.
16. Your Choices
You may contact us to:
Ask questions about information you have provided;
Request correction of inaccurate contact information;
Request that we stop sending optional marketing communications; or
Ask about deletion of information you have voluntarily provided.

Certain information may need to be retained for legal, accounting, tax, transaction, fraud-prevention, dispute-resolution, agreement-enforcement, or other legitimate business purposes.
17. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time as our services, technology, vendors, business practices, or legal obligations change.
The current version will be posted on samsarahbi.com with its effective date.
