Welcome to SelfhelpMagazine, your trusted source for self-help and psychology online.
SelfhelpMagazine PRIVACY POLICY
At
SelfhelpMagazine our goal is to respect your privacy. We gather information about our visitors to help with tailoring our services to our visitors. We do not collect personal information through cookies. We collect only such personally identifiable information as age, sex, e-mail addresses, etc., when voluntarily submitted. All such information is kept private, and not sold or transferred to third parties. It is used exclusively for our internal purposes. With this security, you may wish to know there are at least two ways in which you may be subjected to unethical exploitation on the Internet:
- When visiting SelfhelpMagazine, your exploration of our material is private unless you voluntarily choose to make your identity known to other readers in our Discussion Zone Forums. By sending a message to any one of our forum areas, your message will appear on our pages for an indeterminate amount of time. If you choose to use these areas of the magazine, please be aware that we are able to offer you free information because we do not pay our design and programming staff to work on our pages. Interns and volunteers have created everything you see on our website, but they are not available to correct mistakes or remove your comments in a timely fashion. Double-check your submissions and post at your own risk.
- If you choose to use our Psychological Resource Links & Lists and click on any website address in that department, you will actually be leaving our website. By so doing, you will no longer be in our magazine, and may, therefore, be visiting a website that may track your stop at every page, and sell this information to companies that may try to sell you products or services related to the topics found on the pages you visited.
- If you choose to ask telephone questions on our Book Tours or TeleWorkshops, your voice might be recognized. These events will be audio-taped and either given to the public for free or sold throughout the Internet and other electronic venues. If you want to participate by asking a question, but do not want your voice to be recorded when talking about a potentially upsetting or personal issue, please use the email to ask your question. Your name will not be read out loud, but your question will. If you want to participate but are concerned that someone will identify the situation you outline in email, please omit any identifying information, or refrain from sending your question to us. You are the ultimate judge of what gets divulged during these events. Make your decisions wisely. We cannot and will not be held responsible for any information that you voluntarily give to us. We will not edit material out of our publications after these events if you later decide that you are uncomfortable or should not have participated. You can benefit from simply listing, if you think that is the safest way to participate, given your circumstance. Email questions can be submitted through the Webinar addresses that will be available with registration material that is available after you sign up for each call. If you are under the care of a mental health or other health care professional, we advise that you discuss your level of participation in these events prior to registering, and most certainly prior to divulging any personal information for anyone in the world to potentially hear.
