As a wellness coach in California, you handle sensitive holistic information, intake forms, and health goals that fall under strict state-specific privacy laws. While you may not be a 'covered entity' under HIPAA, California’s Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Online Privacy Protection Act (CalOPPA) require transparent disclosure of how you process personal health data. Beyond compliance, a high-quality privacy policy prevents scope-of-practice liabilities by clearly stating that your data collection is advisory, not medical, protecting your business from unlicensed health advice claims.
Beyond the standard privacy policy sections, this template adds fields specific to Wellness Coach:
The core legal purpose of a Privacy Policy is to inform users about how their personal information is collected, used, stored, and shared by a business or service, ensuring compliance with privacy laws such as the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and potentially the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for businesses that handle European data. It seeks to build trust with users by promoting transparency and accountability in personal data management.
Scope of Practice Violations
Contracts should clearly define the services offered and include disclaimers that coaches do not provide medical advice or therapy.
Results Liability
Use of disclaimers in contracts stating that results are not guaranteed and depend on client commitment and personal efforts.
Unlicensed Health Advice
Written agreements that emphasize the coaching role is advisory, not prescriptive or diagnostic, recommending clients to consult licensed healthcare providers.

Generally, wellness coaches are not 'covered entities' under HIPAA; however, California state laws like the CCPA and the Confidentiality of Medical Information Act (CMIA) often impose similar or stricter standards for handling 'personal information' and health-related data. Our policy ensures you meet these high transparency standards to build client trust and satisfy California Civil Code requirements.
Under AB5, worker classification is strictly scrutinized. If you work with independent contractors or other practitioners to deliver your wellness plans, your privacy policy must disclose how data is shared with these third parties to avoid liability regarding data ownership and the nature of the relationship under the ABC test.
California residents have the right to request access to the specific pieces of personal data you’ve collected, such as intake forms and goal-setting logs. Your policy must include specialized clauses explaining how clients can submit these requests and how you verify their identity without discriminating against them for exercising those rights.
