We may collect this information through various forms throughout the site, including, but not limited to: email, chat, consultation request forms, or “contact us” forms; or surveys. Depending on the activity, some of the information we ask you to provide may be mandatory. If you do not provide the mandatory information with respect to the particular activity, you will not be able to engage in that activity.

(B) Usage Information. We, and our third party service providers, may use a variety of technologies that automatically or passively store or collect information whenever you visit or interact with the site (“Usage Information”). Usage Information may be stored or accessed using a variety of technologies that may be downloaded to your personal computer, browser, laptop, tablet, mobile phone or other device (a “Device”) whenever you visit or interact with our site.

This Usage Information may include:

  • Your IP address, UDID or other unique device identifier (“Device Identifier”);

  • Whether one user has accessed the website using multiple Devices;

  • Your Device’s functionality (including browser, operating system, hardware, mobile network information, plug-ins);

  • Other Device data, including time zone and the time of day.

We may use various methods and technologies to store or collect Usage Information (“Tracking Technologies”). Such Tracking Technologies include, without limitation, the following (and subsequent technology and methods later developed):

  • Google Analytics. Our website uses a tool called Google Analytics, which collects user information regarding the activities that users engage in while on the website. Google Analytics collects information such as how often users visit this site, what pages they visit when they do so, and what other sites they used prior to coming to this site. We use the information we get from Google Analytics to improve this site and our outreach efforts. Google Analytics collects only the IP address assigned to you on the date you visit this site, rather than your name or other identifying information. Although Google Analytics plants a permanent cookie on your web browser to identify you as a unique user the next time you visit this site, the cookie cannot be used by anyone but Google. Google’s ability to use and share information collected by Google Analytics about your visits to this site is restricted by the Google Analytics Terms of Use and the Google Privacy Policy. You can prevent Google Analytics from recognizing you on return visits to this site by disabling cookies on your browser.

  • Google Ads & Remarketing. We use a tool called “Google Ads” to collect information about use of this site and use this information to serve you more relevant advertisements (“Retargeting”). Google and other third parties may show these advertisements on other websites that you visit or services you use. These ads shown on other web sites are based on your past visits to this site by using cookies. You may opt-out of Google’s use of cookies by visiting Google’s Ads Settings page.

  • Facebook Tracking Pixel. We may use the “conversion tracking pixel” provided by Facebook to record the efficacy of Facebook’s advertisements and for additional market research purposes. This tool allows us to gather information about your activity after you are redirected to the website after clicking on an advertisement on Facebook. Facebook or its partners may use a cookie to facilitate the display of advertisements. Facebook may save and process this data and connect it to your account in accordance with Facebook’s Data Policy.

  • Cookies. A cookie is a data file placed on a Device when it visits a website. Cookies may be disabled or removed by tools that are available as part of most commercial browsers, and in some but not all instances can be blocked in the future through certain settings. Each browser you use will need to be set separately and different browsers offer different functionality and options in this regard. These tools may not be effective with regard to Flash cookies or HTML5 cookies. For information on disabling Flash cookies go to www.adobe.com. Please be aware that if you disable or remove cookies, Flash cookies, or HTML5 cookies on your Device, some parts of our site may not function properly, and that when you revisit our website your ability to limit cookies is subject to your browser settings and limitations.

  • Embedded Scripts. An embedded script is programming code that is designed to collect information about your interactions with the website, such as the links you click on. The code is temporarily downloaded onto your Device from our web server or a third party service provider, is active only while you are connected to our site, and is deactivated or deleted thereafter.

We may use Tracking Technologies for a variety of purposes, including, but not limited to:

  • Use and access. We may use cookies or other Tracking Technologies to allow you to use and access our website, including cookies required to prevent fraudulent activity, improve security or allow you to make use of certain functions on our website.

We are not responsible for those third party technologies or activities arising out of them.

(B) To Protect Our Rights and our Users. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, we may also disclose your information if we believe in our sole and absolute discretion that doing so is necessary or appropriate to: (i) protect or defend our rights, safety or property (such as collecting debts) or third parties (including through the enforcement of this Privacy Policy, our Terms of Use, and other applicable agreements and policies); or (ii) comply with legal and regulatory obligations (e.g., pursuant to law enforcement inquiries, subpoenas or court orders). To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, we have complete discretion in electing to make or not make such disclosures, and to contest or not contest requests for such disclosures.

(C) Your California Privacy Rights. California Civil Code Section 1798.83 permits California residents who have supplied Personal Information, under certain circumstances, to request and obtain certain information regarding our disclosure, if any, of personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. Where applicable, you may obtain the categories of personal information shared and the names and addresses of all third parties that received personal information for their direct marketing purposes during the immediately prior calendar year (e.g. requests made in 2017 will receive information about 2016 sharing activities). To make such a request, please provide sufficient information for us to determine if this applies to you, attest to the fact that you are a California resident and provide a current California street address (not a post office box) for our response. To make such a request (limit one request per year), please send an email to: info@onwordstherapy.com with “California Privacy Rights” as the subject line.  You must include your full name, email address, and street address in your request.
