Lisa Bendimez, Licensed Clinical Psychologist doing business as Holistic Psychological Services (HPS) maintains high standards for the protection of privacy online. The purpose of this statement is to explain what information we obtain, how it is used, and how visitors can restrict its use or disclosure. 

The only information HPS obtains about visitors to our website is information supplied voluntarily by the visitor.  This means that you can visit our website without telling us who you are or revealing any information about yourself.  Our web server recognizes which pages people visit on our site; a visitor’s identity is not revealed. 

HPS collects information from you only when you register on our website as a member, sign up to be on our mailing list, purchase products or offerings, and/or respond to a survey.  Before purchasing a product or offering, you will be asked to provide certain pieces of information such as your name, email, occupation, address, date of birth, and credit card. 

Your information may be used in the following ways:

1. To modify offerings to better meet your training needs.
2. To improve our customer service.
3. To process transactions that you initiate. Your information will not be sold, exchanged, transferred, or given to any other company without your consent, other than for the express purpose of delivering the purchased product or service requested.
4. To administer a survey, promotion, or other site feature.
5. To send periodic emails related to your orders. If you opt-in to our emailing list you may also receive emails related to new courses, products, or promotions.

HPS also uses Remarketing and cookies. Remarketing is a way for us to connect with users based on past usage of our website. Third-party marketing vendors may be utilized by HPS to perform Remarketing services. As a result, third-party vendors, including Google, may show HPS adverts on other sites. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve adverts based on a user’s prior visits to our website. Any information collected is used only for Remarketing purposes and will not be used for any other purpose. Cookies help Websites temporarily “reuse” information about visitors. Its purpose is to make your browsing experience more enjoyable. On our site, a “cookie” is a tiny file containing a unique code, which allows us to reuse information that is provided. This is used to facilitate users ordering of courses as well as maintaining users’ account information. With this, we can identify users who are authorized to submit orders. It also helps carry over information users provide us from one webpage to another, which reduces the need to retype the same information multiple times. Cookies cannot read any personal information from users’ hard drives. They only store data that is provided by the server or generated by information users submit to our website. If users of the site do not enable cookies on their Internet browser, our computer software may not be able to process orders.

Additionally, HPS implements a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information. Specifically, all supplied sensitive/credit information is transmitted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology and then encrypted into our payment gateway provider’s database, only to be accessed by those authorized (who are legally required to keep the information confidential) .

HPS will not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties your personally identifiable information. This does not include trusted third parties who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or servicing you, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential. We may also release your information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce our site policies, or protect ours or others’ rights, property, or safety.
