Information Collection and Use

In general, information is requested from you so that we may provide the most efficient and enhanced service to you. Thus, we may collect personally identifiable information such as names, email addresses, and demographic information such as age, gender, and postal code. We may also collect an IP address, browser type, domain name, access time and referring website address. This information is collected during registration or in response to specific requests (e.g. when submitting a listing).

Note that MyCounselingLinks is not responsible for information given to third parties; this Privacy Statement applies only to information given directly to MyCounselingLinks.

How We Use Your Information

We use personal information so that we may display custom personalized content to users and to send newsletters, emails, promotional material, polls and other updates to users. Users may opt out of receiving such communications at any time.

We also use this information to evaluate and administer this website, to respond to any problems and to assess the popularity of our services.

We will never give out your name or personal information without your permission. Although we may produce reports containing aggregate information about users (such as demographic, age and online usage information) we will never include any personal information of our users in these reports.

We reserve the right to use or disclose any information without notice or consent as required to satisfy any law, regulation or legal request; to conduct investigations of consumer complaints or possible breaches of law; to protect the integrity of MyCounselingLinks; to protect the safety of our users; or to co-operate with any legal investigation.

You should be aware that if you voluntarily disclose personal information online, that information can be collected and used by others (e.g. you may receive unsolicited email messages from third parties). MyCounselingLinks has no control over any such use of your personal information.

Security of Personal Information

Access to private, personal and confidential information is limited to those employees with a specific need to view this information. Data is stored on secure server systems in controlled environments. Audits of our security systems and procedures are conducted on a regular basis.

This Privacy Statement will be updated as necessary to provide the highest protection for our users and to comply with a changing environment. If material changes are made to this Statement, or to the way we collect or use personally identifiable information, we will post such changes prior to implementation. We recommend that you check the Privacy Statement whenever visiting MyCounselingLinks to be sure you are aware of our current policies and practices.
