    This privacy notice governs the privacy practices of my website http://vernonpsyd.com. This privacy notice tells you what personal data and nonpersonal data I collect from you, how I collect them, how I protect them, how I share them, how you can access and change them, and how you can limit my sharing of them. My privacy notice also explains certain legal rights that you have concerning your personal data. Any capitalized terms not defined herein will have the same meaning as where they are defined elsewhere on my website.

    Definitions

    ‘NONPERSONAL DATA’ (NPD) is information that is in no way personally identifiable.

    ‘PERSONAL DATA’ (PD) means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (‘data subject’); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified directly or indirectly by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier, or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity of that natural person. PD is in many ways the same as Personally Identifiable Information (PII). However, PD is broader in scope and covers more data. (GDPR) means General Data Protection Regulation. (CCPA) means California Consumer Privacy Act. (LGPD) means Brazilian General Data Protection Law.

  • Contact me using the information at the top of this privacy notice to exercise any of your legal rights contained within this privacy notice.

    My policy is that I do not sell users PD except in the sale or merger of my business. See the section about “Disclosures to Successors” in this privacy notice. The provision below is only here because it is required by law that I include it.

    You have the right to request that I do not sell any of your personal information.

    Personal information for this section means but is not limited to a natural person’s first name or first initial and last name in combination with any one or more of the following data elements when they are not encrypted: social security number, driver’s license number, driver authorization card number, or identification card number. Account number, credit card, or debit card number, in combination with any required security code, access code, or password that would permit access to the person’s financial account. If you wish to make this request, you can email me at vernonpsyd@gmail.com telling me that you do not want to have any of your personal information sold. Include enough personal information so that I can reasonably verify your identity. I will respond to your request within 30 days after receiving it.

  • Generally, you control the amount and type of information that you provide to me when using my website.

    Disclosures to Successors

    If my business is sold or merges in whole or in part with another business that would become responsible for providing the website to you, I retain the right to transfer your PD to the new business. The new business would retain the right to use your PD according to the terms of this privacy notice as well as to any changes to this privacy notice as instituted by the new business. I also retain the right to transfer your PD if my company files for bankruptcy and some or all of my assets are sold to another individual or business.

  • I retain information that I collect from you (including your PD) only for as long as I need it for legal, business, or tax purposes. Your information may be retained in electronic, paper, or a combination of both forms. When your information is no longer needed, I will destroy, delete, or erase it.

  • You can update your PD using services found on my website. If no such services exist, you can contact me using the contact information found at the top of this privacy notice and I will help you. However, I may keep your PD as needed to enforce my agreements and to comply with any legal obligations.

  • If any postings you make on my website contain information about third parties, you agree to make sure that you have permission to include that information. While I are not legally liable for the actions of my users, I will remove any postings about which I are notified, if such postings violate the privacy rights of others.

My website does not obey such settings when transmitted to and detected by my website.

I do not knowingly collect PD from children under the age of 18. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child is using my website, please contact me. Before I remove any information I may ask for proof of identification to prevent malicious removal of account information. If I discover that a child is accessing my website, I will delete his/her information within a reasonable period of time. You acknowledge that I do not verify the age of my users nor have any liability to do so.

  • You can always opt-out of receiving email correspondence from me or my affiliates. I will not sell, rent, or trade your email address to any unaffiliated third-party without your permission except in the sale or transfer of my company, or if my company files for bankruptcy.

  • I have built my website using industry-standard security measures and authentication tools to protect the security of your PD. I and the third parties who provide services to me also maintain technical and physical safeguards to protect your PD. Unfortunately, I cannot guarantee the prevention of loss or misuse of your PD or secure data transmission over the Internet because of its nature. I strongly urge you to protect any password you may have for my website and not share it with anyone.

  • I reserve the right to change this privacy notice at any time. If my company decides to change this privacy notice, I will post those changes on my website so that my users and customers are always aware of what information I collect, use, and disclose. If at any time I decide to disclose or use your PD in a method different from that specified at the time it was collected, I will provide advance notice by email sent to the email address on file in your account. Otherwise, I will use and disclose my users’ and customers’ PD in agreement with the privacy notice in effect when the information was collected. In all cases, your continued use of my website, services, and products after any change to this privacy notice will constitute your acceptance of such change.
