If you elect to “opt-in” and provide me with your personal information for any of these purposes, I will collect the information you provide, which may include your name, email address, phone number, and the text of any message you send me. You understand that your decision to provide any information to me in this manner is voluntary, and constitutes your clear consent to allow me to collect, process, and retain it.

I use third party data processors to take and complete payment.

I may also collect information though Automatic Data Collection Technology. I may use or send standard “cookies” to identify your browser from time to time.

The information will be collected by me following your choice to manually enter it in, and click to be added to my list. No such information will be collected without your taking action to be added to my list, or in exchange for a free resource. 

I may also receive data from third parties like Google Analytics, Facebook and other advertising platforms, providers of technical or payment services as needed, and other similar third parties. I do my best to only utilize third parties who have been deemed GDPR-compliant, and whom I have either completed a data processing agreement with, or have reviewed and confirmed their policies regarding data processing to ensure compliance.

How Information is Stored and Shared

You have the right to know what information is stored (and not stored) and how it is processed. Your information is stored through a data management system, and it is important to me to take appropriate measures to ensure your information is kept confidential. You understand that there are limited purposes where I will share your confidential information, including with those who are providing technical support for my website, or those who are members of my team, including legal and accounting. Any parties who will have access to your information will keep such information confidential and will never share with any unrelated parties to the best of my abilities. information provided by you will never be shared, sold, or given to any other company or person without your consent, other than what is required to complete a purchase or request you have made, unless required to do so by law, or any governmental requirements. I require all such third parties to treat your personal information in accordance with the law, and only allow them to process your personal data for specific, necessary purposes.  

Please be aware I may disclose information provided if I am required to do so by law, or if there is an honest, good faith belief that such disclose is necessary to protect the rights of my website or of Jennifer Zwolinski, Licensed Psychologist, that any portion of my policies are being violated, to prevent or mitigate a belief that a crime may being committed, or to protect that safety or rights of my other uses. This information may also be shared as a result of the sale of my company or any branch of the company, as well as with any joint venture partners or affiliate marketers, should I deem it necessary to share such information. I will always take all reasonable measures to protect and safeguard your information. 

This website, and the servers and parties which made this website available on a global scale, are located within and operate within the United States. The internet laws of the United States and California govern any and all matters relating to this Website, including content, as well as the principles of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) as they apply to residents of the European Union. Any information you choose to provide through this website, including subscribing to a newsletter, opting-in to receive a free gift, or purchasing something will be transferred to the United States for processing. That information may then be transferred within the United States or back out of the United States to other countries outside of your country of residence, depending on the type of information, and how it is stored by me. If transferred to another country, it may not have data protection laws that are as comprehensive or protective as those in your country of residence; however, my collection, storage, and use of your Personal Information will at all times be governed by this Privacy Policy. By visiting my Website, you acknowledge this information, and by submitting any personal information onto my Website, you hereby authorize this transfer and processing of information. 

By collecting and using your personal data, I am acting as a data controller, meaning I determine what information is collected, how long it is stored, and what the Personal Information will be used for. To the best of my ability, I have researched and concluded that all third party data processors I use have advised me they are compliant with the General Data Protection Regulations as well. 

Information Protection & Security 

I use commercially reasonable methods to safeguard your personal data, including that which you provide to use, and that which I collect automatically, by using reasonable online security measures, and sharing your data with reputable third party vendors that are compliant with generally accepted security and safety measures. I utilize a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) on my website in order to assist in the secure transfer of information; however, it can never be guaranteed. Should I become aware that a data breach has occurred, I will timely notify the necessary parties with as much information as I have available. 

While I do my best to protect the information I collect, and prevent any misuse, unauthorized access, or disclosure, you understand that I cannot be responsible should an unauthorized third party obtain access to my information, without my consent. Should my website be tampered with, you understand that your personal information may be accessed by these unauthorized parties. You agree that I am not responsible for any such actions, and acknowledge you will hold me harmless should your information become intercepted in this way without my knowledge, permission, or consent, which includes a release of any and all claims related to use of such information by such an unauthorized party. 

I have determined it is not required to appoint a Data Protection Officer, as my core activities do not consist of processing operations that require regular and systematic monitoring of data subjects nor do I process sensitive categories of data on a large scale. 

Data Retention 

I will retain the minimum amount of Personal Information required of yours, including name, email address, and behavior tracking, as long as you elect to remain on my mailing list, and any additional Personal Information as long as it is needed in order to fulfil the purpose for which it was initially collected, such as completing a purchase. I will also retain and use collected information as necessary in order to comply with any legal obligations, resolve any disputes, or as otherwise reasonably determined. If at any point you elect to be removed from my database,  your information will be deleted, and no longer retained.
