This Privacy Policy explains what Marriage and Family (marriageandfamily.com) collects on this website, how that information is used, and how to reach us with privacy questions. It is written in plain language.
This site is not for emergencies
This website and its forms are not monitored for emergencies. Do not use website forms, email, or phone voicemail for crisis help. If you are in danger or having a mental-health emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. In the U.S., you can also call or text 988 for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.
Who we are
This site is operated by Mark Spurlock, LMFT, for Marriage and Family counseling services for adults in California. Public contact for privacy questions: info@marriageandfamily.com.
What we collect on website forms
When you submit a form on this site (including the free workbook form), we may collect:
- Name
- Email address
- Phone number
- City
- ZIP / postal code
We only ask for what the form needs. Fields that are not required can be left blank when the form allows it.
How we use that information
We use form information to:
- Send the free workbook (or other resource you requested)
- Send occasional email updates about the practice, resources, or related information
- Respond if you asked a question or requested contact
We do not sell your information. We do not use website form submissions as clinical treatment records.
Booking and scheduling
If you schedule counseling, the platform you booked through may collect and store its own account, payment, and session information under that platform’s privacy policy. This website Privacy Policy covers information submitted through marriageandfamily.com forms, not every record held by the platform you booked through.
Cookies and basic site data

Email updates
If you receive occasional email updates from us, you can unsubscribe using the link in the email, or email info@marriageandfamily.com and ask to be removed.
How long we keep form information
We keep website form information only as long as needed to send what you asked for, manage email preferences, answer follow-up questions, and meet basic record-keeping needs. You may email us to ask what we have from a website form or to request deletion, subject to any legal retention requirements.
Children
This practice serves adults. This website is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through these forms.
