Parts Work Practice

Effective Date: May 8, 2026

1. Introduction

Parts Work Practice ("PWP," "we," "us," or "our") is a peer-learning community cofounded by Bill Tierney and Alison Dyer. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting the personal information you share with us. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding that information.

This policy applies to all interactions with our website at www.partsworkpractice.com, our free online practice sessions, our volunteer program, the Parts Work Guidebook, our email communications, and our presence on Facebook, Telegram, and Reddit.

Parts Work Practice is not therapy and does not replace professional mental health care. Our sessions are educational and experiential, designed to help participants learn and practice the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model for personal growth.

5. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies provided by Squarespace and embedded third-party tools. These cookies help us understand how visitors use our site and allow certain features (like sign-up forms) to function properly.

You can control cookie preferences through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may limit certain features of the website.

6. Email Communications

When you complete the sign-up form on our website, you may opt in to receive session reminder emails and/or occasional newsletters from Bill Tierney. Every email includes an unsubscribe link. You may opt out at any time, and we will promptly remove you from our mailing list.

We will never share your email address with third parties for their own marketing purposes.

7. Practice Session Confidentiality

Confidentiality and respect are among our core values. All participants and volunteers are expected to protect what is shared during practice sessions. What is discussed in sessions should not be repeated outside of the session.

PWP practice sessions are not therapy. They are educational and experiential peer-learning sessions. We do not diagnose, treat, or manage mental health conditions. Nothing shared in a PWP session is protected by therapist-client privilege. If you need clinical support, please consult a licensed therapist.

8. Zoom Sessions and Recordings

Our practice sessions are conducted live via Zoom. Sessions are not recorded by PWP. Participants are expected to keep their video on during sessions (when possible) and use their real first name as their display name, in keeping with our community norms.

We do not record sessions. If this policy changes, we will notify participants in advance and obtain consent.

9. Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to provide session reminders and fulfill the purposes described in this policy. If you request that we delete your data, we will do so within a reasonable timeframe, except where we are required to retain it by law.

10. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information, including:

  • Access: You may request a copy of the personal information we hold about you.

  • Correction: You may ask us to correct inaccurate information.

  • Deletion: You may request that we delete your personal information, subject to certain exceptions.

  • Opt-out: You may unsubscribe from emails at any time using the link in any email.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at Bill@CompassionateResultsCoaching.com.

11. Children's Privacy

Our website and services are not directed at individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. If we learn that we have collected information from a child under 18, we will delete it promptly.

12. Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Our website is served over HTTPS, and we rely on the security infrastructure of our third-party service providers (Squarespace, Zoom, GoHighLevel, etc.). No method of electronic storage or transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

13. Links to Other Websites

Our website contains links to third-party websites, including Facebook, Telegram, Reddit, Amazon, Google Forms, and Zoom. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those websites. We encourage you to review their respective privacy policies before providing any personal information.

14. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Effective Date" at the top of this page. Continued use of our website or participation in our sessions after any changes indicates your acceptance of the updated policy.
