Scope of Confidentiality

All communications between you and your spiritual counselor at Divine Alignment Center, whether conducted online or in person, are considered confidential. This includes, but is not limited to:

• Personal discussions during sessions
• Any written, electronic, or verbal information shared
• Records of appointments, assessments, and session notes

We will not disclose any information about you or the content of your sessions without your explicit written consent, unless required by law or ethical obligation. Confidentiality is central to the integrity of our care, and your trust is held in sacred regard.

Legal and Ethical Exceptions to Confidentiality

While Divine Alignment Center is committed to preserving your privacy, there are specific circumstances where we are legally or ethically required to break confidentiality:

• Imminent Harm: If you express intent to harm yourself or another person, we may notify appropriate authorities or emergency contacts to prevent harm.
• Abuse or Neglect: If there is disclosure or reasonable suspicion of abuse or neglect involving a minor, elder, or dependent adult, we are mandated by law to report to protective services or law enforcement.
• Legal Requirements: If compelled by a court order, subpoena, or applicable legal process, we may be required to disclose confidential information.

We will make every effort to inform you of any required disclosures in advance whenever ethically and legally permissible.

Confidentiality in Group Settings

Divine Alignment Center may offer group sessions, workshops, or collective healing experiences. While we stress the importance of mutual respect and confidentiality, we cannot guarantee that all participants will uphold this standard. We strongly encourage all group members to maintain the privacy of others and avoid sharing any personal information disclosed during group engagement.

Record Keeping and Data Protection

We maintain detailed records of sessions and guidance provided to ensure consistency, reflection, and continuity of care. These records are stored using HIPAA-compliant and NIST-aligned systems and are accessible only by authorized team members operating under strict confidentiality agreements.

All electronic records are encrypted and protected with advanced cybersecurity protocols. Divine Alignment Center does not share your records with third parties without written authorization, unless required by law as outlined above.

As a client or participant, you have the right to:

• Request access to review your records
• Submit a request to correct or clarify any perceived inaccuracies
• Withdraw consent for use or disclosure of your information, understanding that this may affect the services we are able to offer

You also retain the right to decline spiritual integration if preferred, and all services will remain grounded in ethical and professional care regardless of spiritual participation.
