At OCL your privacy is very important to us. You are never known as a "client". You are never known as a "consumer". You are never known by a "label". You are never in a "program". You are known for the person you are, the name you were given, the job that you have and the residence that you choose to live in. Because we see and respect you as an equal and a peer, we deeply hold your personal life in confidence, just as we all want for ourselves.

Each person has a circle of people that are important in their life. All of us have people that we confide in about important issues. All of us also hold private from others what we feel is uncomfortable or of no one's business. We will work closely with you, and with those who you indicate are important to you. We do this to ensure that your life moves in the direction you desire with the people who are important to you. We will not disclose anything about you or your life to those outside of your significant circle, unless you are in agreement with it. This is our understanding with you.

Now that our agency needs to be HIPPA compliant, we are required to display our HIPPA Privacy Agreement on any web site that is developed. So we offer that for you on this web site, should you be interested.

Everyone at OCL holds a deep respect to each person who chooses services from our agency. Should you ever have a question about your personal privacy or be concerned that your privacy is in jeopardy, you can contact Lauren Johnson Albaroni at 315-434-9597 x 232 or email her at laurena@oclinc.org .
