1. Information We Collect

We collect two types of data:

a. Personal Information: Only when voluntarily provided, such as:
- Name and email (e.g., through contact forms or newsletter signups)
- Messages you send via forms or chat
- Any comments or interactions with site content

We do not collect or store health, diagnosis, or therapy-related data unless explicitly submitted via secure channels.

b. Non-Personal Information: Automatically collected via browser or analytics tools:
- IP address
- Browser type
- Pages visited and time spent
- Device type and operating system

2. Use of Cookies

We use cookies for:
- Remembering your preferences
- Improving site functionality
- Measuring usage patterns (via Google Analytics or similar)

You can disable cookies via your browser, but this may impact site functionality.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:
- Respond to your inquiries
- Send optional email updates (only if subscribed)
- Improve and optimize our site
- Prevent spam and misuse

We never sell, rent, or trade your personal data.

4. Data Sharing and Third-Party Services

We may use trusted third-party services like:
- Google Analytics (site metrics)
- Mailchimp or similar (email newsletters)

These third parties may store data in accordance with their own privacy policies and international regulations.

We do not share personal information with advertisers or external organizations for their marketing or promotional purposes. We may share limited information with trusted service providers solely as necessary to operate our website, communications, and SMS messaging services.

5. Mailing Lists and Communication

You may opt-in to receive communications from us. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in our emails or by contacting us directly at info@somebodytotalkto.com.

6. Data Retention

We retain your information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected, or as required by applicable law.

7. Children’s Privacy

Our website is not intended for children under the age of 13. If we discover that we have inadvertently collected data from a child under 13, we will promptly delete it.

8. Security Measures

We implement industry-standard encryption and data protection practices to ensure the security of your personal information. However, no internet-based transmission is ever 100% secure.

9. External Links

Our website may contain links to other sites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites. Please review their policies if you visit them.

10. Your Rights (GDPR / CCPA / Global)

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:
- Access, correct, or delete your data
- Withdraw consent
- Object to or restrict data processing
- File a complaint with your data protection authority

To exercise these rights, contact us at: info@somebodytotalkto.com
 

11. SMS Messaging and Mobile Information

When voluntarily provided, we may collect your mobile telephone number and your consent preferences for SMS messaging.

Somebody To Talk To, Inc. may use this information to send low-volume, non-marketing messages concerning program participation. Messages may include scheduling confirmations, session reminders, access or logistical information, schedule changes, follow-up notices, and responses to participant questions.

Providing a telephone number by itself does not constitute consent to receive SMS messages. When consent is requested by email, messages will begin only after the recipient receives the SMS disclosure and provides an affirmative written response, such as replying “YES.” Consent to receive SMS messages is voluntary and is not a condition of participating in or receiving our services.

Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Recipients may reply STOP to any message to opt out or HELP for assistance. Assistance is also available at info@somebodytotalkto.com.

We do not share, sell, rent, or provide mobile telephone numbers or SMS opt-in and consent information to third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes.

We may disclose mobile information to service providers that help us operate the messaging service, but only as necessary to provide the service and subject to appropriate confidentiality and use restrictions.

12. Policy Updates

We reserve the right to modify this policy at any time. Any changes will be posted on this page with a revised effective date.
