We may use third-party companies and platforms to operate our business, website, email marketing, scheduling, payment processing, video conferencing, forms, analytics, advertising, course delivery, or other services.
These providers may receive or process personal information only as necessary to perform services on our behalf or as otherwise described in their own privacy policies.

8. Coaching Information and Confidentiality
Information shared as part of a coaching relationship will be handled with reasonable care and in accordance with the applicable coaching agreement.
However, coaching should not be treated as having the same legal confidentiality protections that may apply to psychotherapy, medical treatment, or other healthcare services.
Although Melissa (Missy) Blackmer is a licensed mental health professional, services purchased or provided through Missy Jane Coaching Company are coaching, consulting, educational, or business-development services unless expressly stated otherwise in writing.
Participation in coaching through Missy Jane Coaching Company does not establish a therapist-client relationship.
Please do not submit protected health information or highly sensitive clinical information through general website forms, email signup forms, social media, or other non-secure communication channels.
9. Artificial Intelligence and Technology
We may use artificial intelligence and technology-assisted tools to support certain business functions, such as administrative tasks, content development, meeting documentation, organization, research, or service improvement.
When AI-assisted tools are used directly within a coaching relationship in a manner that involves client information, additional disclosure or consent may be provided through the applicable coaching agreement or consent process.
We take reasonable steps to limit unnecessary disclosure of personal information when using technology-assisted tools.

Website and email service providers
Professional advisers such as attorneys, accountants, or consultants
