This Privacy & Cookie Policy explains how information may be collected, used, stored, and shared when you visit DeeAnnaMerzNagel.com, contact DeeAnna Merz Nagel, subscribe to communications, purchase or participate in educational programs, or otherwise interact with services offered by DeeAnna Merz Nagel, LLC.
This policy should be read together with the Terms of Use & Disclaimer.
Who Is Responsible for Your Information
DeeAnna Merz Nagel, LLC is responsible for personal information collected directly through this website and for determining how that information is used when acting as the data controller or equivalent responsible party under applicable privacy law.
Some services used in connection with this website are operated by independent third-party providers. Those providers may process information according to their own privacy policies and legal obligations.
Information That May Be Collected
The information collected depends upon how you interact with the website and services.

You may voluntarily provide information such as:
- your name;
- email address;
- contact information;
- information submitted through contact or registration forms;
- course enrollment or participation information;
- communications you send;
- newsletter or mailing-list preferences; and
- information necessary to administer purchases, courses, events, or other services.
Please do not submit highly sensitive, confidential, clinical, or emergency information through ordinary website forms.
When a secure or specialized communication method is required for a professional service, appropriate instructions will be provided separately.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, certain technical information may be collected when you visit the site. Depending upon your cookie choices and the technologies in use, this may include information such as:
- browser and device type;
- pages visited;
- approximate geographic region;
- referring website or source;
- date and time of visits;
- interactions with pages or features; and
- other technical or analytics information.
Some of this information is collected through cookies or similar technologies as described below.
How Information Is Used
Personal information may be used to:
- respond to inquiries or communications;
- provide access to courses, trainings, resources, or other services;
- administer course enrollment and participation;
- deliver materials or communications you requested;
- manage newsletter subscriptions and other mailing lists;
- process or administer purchases;
- maintain and improve the website;

- maintain appropriate business and administrative records.
Personal information is not sold to third parties for their independent marketing purposes.
Email Communications and Mailing Lists
If you subscribe to a newsletter, request a resource, register for an offering, or otherwise choose to receive email communications, your name, email address, and related subscription information may be stored with an email service provider such as ActiveCampaign.
You may unsubscribe from nonessential marketing communications at any time by using the unsubscribe link included in those emails.
Enrollment in a course or other service may require certain administrative communications related to access, scheduling, updates, completion requirements, or other matters necessary to provide that service. Opting out of marketing communications does not necessarily stop communications required to administer an active course, transaction, or professional service.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
This website uses cookies and similar technologies for purposes that may include basic website operation, remembering preferences, security, and understanding website usage.
A cookie is a small piece of information stored by a website or related service on your browser or device.
Necessary Cookies
Some cookies and technologies are necessary for the website to function properly or to provide a feature you request. These may support functions such as website security, navigation, session management, saving privacy preferences, or other essential operations.
Necessary cookies may operate without optional cookie consent where permitted by applicable law.
Analytics and Optional Cookies
The website may use optional technologies, including Google Analytics, to understand general website traffic and how visitors interact with the site.
Analytics information can assist with understanding matters such as which pages are visited, how visitors arrive at the website, and how the website performs.
Optional analytics or similar technologies are managed through the website’s cookie-consent system.
Your Cookie Choices
When applicable, the website displays a cookie-consent notice that allows you to:
- accept optional cookies;
- reject optional cookies; or
- manage your preferences.
Your cookie preferences can also be revisited through the cookie-settings control available on the website.
Rejecting optional cookies should not prevent access to the basic website, although certain optional features or third-party content may function differently depending upon your choices.
You may also manage cookies through your browser settings. Browser controls are separate from the consent choices provided directly on this website.
The specific cookies and services detected on the website may change as website features, plugins, and third-party services change. Current cookie information and available controls are provided through the site’s cookie-consent system.
Google Analytics
This website may use Google Analytics to obtain general information about website usage and performance.
Where consent is required, analytics technologies are subject to the cookie preferences selected through the website’s consent-management system.
Google processes information according to its own privacy practices and policies.
Courses and Online Learning
Educational programs may be delivered through Pathwright or another learning platform identified at the time of enrollment.
Information associated with course participation may include your name, email address, enrollment status, course access, progression, submissions, responses, completion information, and communications related to the course.
Course information is used to provide and administer the educational program, communicate with participants, document participation or completion when appropriate, and meet applicable continuing-education or credentialing requirements.
Students who enroll in a course through another organization may also be subject to that organization’s privacy practices. For example, when enrollment or payment occurs through an outside educational institution or training provider, that organization may separately collect and maintain information concerning the transaction or enrollment.
Payments
Payments may be processed through third-party payment and commerce providers such as PayPal, Stripe, ThriveCart, or another provider identified at the time of purchase.
Payment-card information is generally submitted directly to the applicable payment processor rather than stored directly on this website.
Those providers process payment and transaction information according to their own privacy policies and legal obligations.
Some courses or programs may be purchased through an outside educational organization rather than directly through DeeAnna Merz Nagel, LLC. In those situations, the outside organization may separately collect and process payment, enrollment, and related information.
Professional Communications and, Online Services
When professional services require specialized communication or video technology, services such as Hushmail and Psychology Today Sessions (Client Video) for video meetings related to consultation, clinical supervision, mentorship, and educational activities.
Psychology Today Sessions is a video-conferencing tool operated by Sussex Directories, Inc. DeeAnna Merz Nagel, LLC remains independently responsible for the professional or educational services provided through the platform.
Information shared in connection with consultation, clinical supervision, mentorship, or educational services may also be governed by the applicable agreements, informed consent documents, confidentiality provisions, or other terms provided for that particular service.
Psychology Today’s website, directory, and related services are subject to Psychology Today’s own Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.
Third-Party Services and Links
This website may contain links to or integrations with third-party websites, services, platforms, social networks, payment processors, learning platforms, email providers, video services, or other resources.
When you choose to interact with a third-party service, that provider may collect or process information according to its own privacy practices.
DeeAnna Merz Nagel, LLC does not control the privacy, security, or data practices of independent third-party websites and services.
A link to or use of a third-party service does not mean that DeeAnna Merz Nagel, LLC controls that provider’s handling of personal information.
Social Media and External Platforms
Links may be provided to social-media accounts or other external platforms. If you follow a link, share content, or interact with those services, the external platform may receive information about your interaction in accordance with its own policies.
Social-media platforms operate independently from this website.
Legal Bases for Processing
Where applicable privacy law requires a legal basis for processing personal information, information may be processed on one or more of the following bases:
- Consent, when you have chosen to provide information or agreed to a particular use;
- Contractual necessity, when information is required to provide a course, product, service, or other offering you requested;
- Legitimate interests, such as maintaining, securing, administering, and improving the website and services, provided those interests do not improperly override your rights;
- Legal or professional obligations, when information must be retained, used, or disclosed to comply with applicable law or professional requirements.
Where processing is based upon consent, you may withdraw that consent where applicable. Withdrawal does not necessarily affect processing that lawfully occurred before consent was withdrawn.
How Information May Be Shared
Information may be shared with service providers when reasonably necessary to operate the website, communicate with you, provide courses or services, process transactions, maintain business systems, or perform other legitimate administrative functions.
Such providers may include website hosts, email platforms, payment processors, learning platforms, analytics providers, communication services, and other technology vendors.
Information may also be disclosed when reasonably necessary to:
- comply with applicable law, court process, or lawful government request;
- protect legal rights, safety, security, or property;
- investigate fraud, misuse, or security concerns; or
- meet applicable professional, regulatory, or contractual obligations.
Personal information is not sold or rented to third parties for their independent marketing use.
Data Retention
Personal information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected and as required for legitimate business, educational, contractual, professional, tax, accounting, legal, or regulatory purposes.
Different categories of information may therefore be retained for different periods.
Information maintained by third-party providers may also be subject to the retention practices of those providers.
Data Security
Reasonable administrative and technical measures are used to protect personal information under the control of DeeAnna Merz Nagel, LLC.
However, no website, internet transmission, email system, cloud platform, or electronic storage method can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Information transmitted electronically is therefore provided with recognition of the inherent risks of online communication.

- access to personal information held about you;
- correction of inaccurate information;
