Hey there - welcome to Affirmed Emotions Therapy (“we,” “us,” or “our”). Here we take your privacy seriously. This page breaks down what info we collect from you when you use our website & services (“Services”), how we use it, who we might share it with, & what your options are.

By using our Services, you’re saying, “Cool, I get it,” *agreeing to the practices outlined here.

Basically, anything that identifies you (like your name or email) or could be used to identify you. This doesn’t include fully anonymized data - like if we strip away your name & just look at usage patterns in the big picture.

Here’s what we might collect when you interact with us:

• Signing up or registering? We’ll ask for things like your name, email, phone number, address - & maybe some demographic info (age, gender, interests, etc.).
• Contacting us? We’ll collect whatever you give us when you reach out (think: your name, contact info, & whatever you write to us).
• Creating content on our site? Posts, reviews, or comments may be public unless we say otherwise.
• Paying for stuff? We (or a third-party processor) might collect payment info like your credit card number.
• Applying for a job? We’ll collect what we need to review your application - name, resume, references, cover letter, etc.

When you visit or use our Services, we might gather:

• Device details: IP address, browser type, operating system, device IDs, etc.
• Usage data: Things like which pages you visited, how long you stayed, what you clicked, & how the site performed (including crashes).
• Cookies & techy bits: We use cookies (temporary & persistent), pixels, & similar tools to help the site function & learn what’s working.

Sometimes we get info about you from third parties - like marketing tools or fraud prevention services. These folks have their own privacy policies, so we recommend checking those out too.

We may use the info we collect to:

• Keep our Services running & improve them
• Understand how people use our site & make it better
• Process purchases
• Let you post content if that’s your thing
• Review job applications
• Respond to messages & questions
• Send you updates & marketing (with a way to opt out!)
• Prevent fraud & shady stuff
• Work with generative AI (yep, responsibly)
• Follow legal rules & protect rights (ours & yours)
• Or anything else we clearly tell you about when collecting the info

We don’t sell your data, but we may share it with:

• Service providers who help us run this thing (they only get what they need).
• Affiliates & team members who need it to support our Services.
• Other users (only when you post stuff publicly).
• Marketing & analytics partners like:
  • Google (ads & analytics)
  • Meta (Facebook, Instagram)
  • LinkedIn (ads & job stuff)
  • Microsoft (ads)
  • Want the current list of our partners? Email us at info@affirmedemotions.com.
• Legal stuff: If law enforcement, courts, or safety concerns come up.
• Event partners (when it’s relevant to something you signed up for).
• If we ever merge, sell, or change things up - we’ll handle your info responsibly.
• With your consent, always.

• Marketing emails? You can unsubscribe anytime via the link in the email. (We might still send you service-related messages though.)
• Cookies? You can usually manage cookies in your browser settings.
• Ad preferences?
  • Google: Privacy & Terms
  • Meta: Privacy Center
  • LinkedIn: Privacy Policy
  • Or check the Network Advertising Initiative or Digital Advertising Alliance to opt out of personalized ads.

If we link to another site or service, we can’t vouch for how they handle your data. Check their privacy policies before sharing info there.

We do our best to protect your data with reasonable safeguards, but no system is 100% hacker-proof. If we ever have a security issue, we’ll let you know what happened & what we’re doing about it.

We don’t knowingly collect info from kids under 13. If you learn a child has shared info with us, email us at info@affirmedemotions.com.

Our Services are based in the U.S. If you’re visiting from somewhere with different data laws, just know that your info will be transferred to and processed here.

We’ll update this page if anything changes. Big changes? We’ll try to let you know directly. Otherwise, feel free to check back whenever.
