However, use of Anchor International’s website or services does not create clinical confidentiality, therapist-client privilege, physician-patient privilege, attorney-client privilege, clergy privilege, or any other legally protected professional privilege unless expressly required by applicable law or established through a separate written relationship.

If you participate in a group, training, church, ministry, or community setting, confidentiality may also depend on the conduct of other participants, facilitators, churches, ministries, or organizations.
