Cookies
We use cookies to improve our user experience. For example, depending on the country you live in, we may use a cookie to ensure we display content that is more applicable to you, given where you live.
We also use cookies to determine if we are entitled to receive compensation from our advertising partners. When you click on a link to an external website on www.find-a-therapist.com, and then go on to make a subsequent purchase on this third-party website, we may be entitled to receive a commission from the website you became a paying customer of. In this case, a cookie is used to inform the advertiser that we referred you to their website. We are not exposed to any personal information (such as your name) that you provide to the third-party website when you sign up.
Anonymous user behavior
We use website analytics tools such as Google Analytics. These tools collect and store data pertaining to your interactions with our website, such as the pages visited, and links clicked. They may also collect information about the characteristics of specific users, such as your country, city, or device.
This data is used to create aggregate reports pertaining to user behavior, and is not used to identify specific users.
Third parties
Certain third parties may be exposed to certain data as a result of you using our service. Some examples of how this can occur include but are not limited to:
- Third-party website plugins may query external APIs, resulting in these APIs seeing your IP address or user agent string.
- Affiliate partner websites seeing your IP address/user agent string as you click through from our website.
- Like nearly all websites, our file system and database are hosted with a third party. This hosting provider therefore stores certain data such as comments you leave, and your IP address.
- Mail service providers storing form submission data. When you submit a form on our website or leave a comment, we may receive an email notification with details of your message. This email is stored on third-party mail servers.
How we use the data we collect
The data we collect is used to serve you on this website, or to improve the quality of our service.
For example, blog comment data you submit is used to display blog comments on our website, provided we approve the comment for display.
We will only ever use your data for the purpose it was given to us, except in exceptional circumstances, where we feel it is absolutely necessary to do so.
We will never share or sell your personal data with third parties, unless:
- www.find-a-therapist.com changes ownership. Anonymous site usage statistics may be shared with potential buyers during sale negotiations.
- We are required to under the law, or to comply with legal proceedings.
- We must share data to protect the safety, prosperity, and/or longevity of our brand, website, employees/contractors, owners, users, and/or other individuals/organizations.
