Privacy Policy
Last Updated: April 21, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Clinician Clubs, a product of The ABA Collective, LLC ("Clinician Clubs," "we," "us," or "our"), collects, uses, and shares information about you when you use our platform.
This Privacy Policy should be read together with our Terms & Conditions. Capitalized terms not defined here have the meanings given in the Terms & Conditions.
Important context:
Clinician Clubs is a software platform for licensed clinicians creating and delivering online education and community experiences. It is not a telehealth platform, and no clinical care or treatment is provided through the platform. Information shared on Clinician Clubs is not protected under HIPAA or similar healthcare privacy laws. Any risk associated with sharing information, including clinical or patient-related content, is the responsibility of the user who shared it.
Geographic scope:
Clinician Clubs is intended for users located in the United States. We do not offer the platform to residents of the European Union, European Economic Area, or United Kingdom, and we do not intentionally collect personal data from individuals in those regions. If you are located in the EU, EEA, or UK, please do not create an account or submit information through the platform.
1. Who We Are
Clinician Clubs is operated by The ABA Collective, LLC, a United States limited liability company. For the purposes of applicable privacy laws, The ABA Collective, LLC is the controller of personal data collected through the Clinician Clubs platform when you interact directly with us (creating an account, paying for a subscription, contacting support, or browsing the website).
Clinicians and creators who operate clubs on our platform ("Admins") are independent controllers of the personal data collected from their own Members inside their clubs. We are not responsible for how individual Admins manage or use data within their communities. If you are a Member and wish to exercise privacy rights over data collected inside a specific club, contact that club's Admin directly.
2. Scope of This Policy
This Privacy Policy applies when you:
- Use the Clinician Clubs platform as an Admin or Member.
- Visit clinicianclubs.com or related subdomains.
- Communicate with us by email, support request, or other channel.
- Participate in communities hosted on our platform.
If you interact with an Admin's community, the Admin's own privacy practices may also apply to your experience within that community.
3. What Information We Collect
A. Information You Provide Directly
Depending on how you use the platform, we may collect:
- Account information: name, email address, username, and password (password is stored hashed; we never see your plaintext password).
- Professional information: role (BCBA, SLP, OT, RD, LCSW, LMFT, psychologist, therapist, or other), specialty, and any licensing or credentialing information you choose to provide.
- Continuing education and licensure details: BACB certificant number, ACE Provider number, license state, and related credentials relevant to CEU issuance and tracking.
- Billing information: name, billing address, and payment card details. Payment card details are collected and stored by our payment processor, Stripe. We receive only limited payment metadata (last four digits of the card, card brand, billing country).
- Profile information: profile photo, bio, display name, and any branding assets (logos, colors) you upload for your club.
- Content you create or upload: posts, comments, messages, course modules, lessons, video uploads, worksheets, event details, and any other content you publish on the platform.
- Communications: emails, support tickets, feedback, and survey responses you send us.
Important:
If you share patient information, identifiable clinical details, or Protected Health Information (PHI) on the platform, you do so at your own risk and in violation of our Terms. We do not provide HIPAA-compliant storage, transmission, or safeguards, and we do not sign Business Associate Agreements. Members should not share their own health information, diagnoses, or treatment details on the platform. Any such information is shared at your own risk and is not protected under HIPAA.
B. Information Collected Automatically
When you use the platform, we automatically collect:
- Device and connection data: IP address, device type, operating system, browser type and version, and language preferences.
- Usage data: pages viewed, features used, content interactions, session duration, referring URLs, and timestamps of activity.
- Performance and error logs: technical events and errors used to diagnose and improve the platform.
This data helps us operate, secure, and improve the platform.
C. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:
- Strictly necessary cookies: required for authentication, session management, and core platform functionality. These cannot be disabled.
- Functional cookies: remember your preferences and settings.
- Analytics cookies: help us understand how the platform is used. We use Google Analytics and Vercel Analytics for this purpose.
We do not use cookies for third-party advertising, retargeting, or cross-site tracking of individual users.
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling strictly necessary cookies may prevent the platform from functioning properly.
Global Privacy Control:
Our website honors Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals. When we detect a GPC signal from your browser, we treat it as a request to opt out of any sharing of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising purposes, to the extent applicable.
