The following policy is designed to protect your privacy when subscribing, commenting, and the time frame in which guest blogs were submitted (February 2011 to June 2023) to MentalHealthTalk.info.
Collected information
I collect information from you when you subscribe to this blog. You will be asked to enter your email address. This information may be used in one of the following ways:
- To personalize your experience; your information helps me to better respond to your individual needs;
- To improve my web site; I continually strive to improve my web site offerings based on the information and feedback I receive from you;
- To improve customer service; your information helps me to more effectively respond to your customer service requests and support needs;
- To administer a contest, promotion, survey or other site feature;
- To send periodic emails; the email address you provide may be used to send you information, respond to inquiries, and/or other requests or questions.
When I send emails to my subscribers, I’ll sometimes track who opened the emails. I do this to measure the performance of my email campaigns.
Note: If at any time you would like to unsubscribe from receiving future emails, I include detailed unsubscribe instructions at the bottom of each email.
I also collect your IP. IPs are tracked to identify spam which will be blacklisted.
Protecting your information
I implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information when you enter, submit, or access your personal information. Your information is stored on secure servers with 3rd party vendors who I have selected based on their due diligence with securing this date.
Cookies
Cookies are small files that a site or its service provider transfers to your computer’s hard drive through your Web browser (if you allow) that enables the site’s or service provider’s systems to recognize your browser and capture and remember certain information.
My Content Management System uses cookies to verify who you are. When visitors comment on my blog, cookies are stored on their computer. This is purely a convenience, so that the visitor won’t need to re-type all their information again when they want to leave another comment.
Disclosing information to outside parties
I do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties your personally identifiable information. This does not include trusted third parties who assist me in operating my website, conducting business, or servicing you, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential. I may also release your information when I believe release is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce my site policies, or protect mine or others’ rights, property, or safety.
Occasionally, at my discretion, I may include or offer third party products or services on this web site. These third party sites have separate and independent privacy policies. I therefore have no responsibility or liability for the content and activities of these linked sites. Nonetheless, I seek to protect the integrity of my site and welcome any feedback about these sites.
Online privacy policy with the exception of guest blogging
This online privacy policy applies only to information collected through my web site and not to information collected offline. However, there is one exception and that is guest blogging.
If you submitted a written entry for this site’s blog, you submitted an email address that was collected outside of this site and used to further correspond with you about the guest blogging process only. I do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties the personally identifiable information that comes through via your email. The information in this email will remain confidential and stored in a secure application as well as regularly backed-up to a secure location that only I have access to.
Your consent
By using my site, you consent to my privacy policy.
Changes to my privacy policy
I may decide to change this policy at any time. Please refer to it often.
