Please read this Privacy Policy carefully before using the website, sefless-esteem.com (referred to in this Privacy Policy as the Site). This Privacy Policy only applies to the information collected through the Site; it does not apply to information collected from other sources. Selfless Esteem® ("I," "me," "we," or "us") reserves the right to change this Privacy Policy at any time without notice. This Privacy Policy governs your access to and use of the Site, including any content, functionality and services. This Privacy Policy is legally binding. By viewing or using the Site, you agree to be bound by this Privacy Policy.
We understand the importance of privacy and we make your privacy a priority. We do not sell or trade your personal information.
Participation in the Site does not constitute the establishment of a therapist-client relationship. Visiting this Site, submitting a contact form, or exchanging emails does not create a therapist-client relationship. A therapist-client relationship begins only after the therapist and client have signed an informed consent and services have begun.
As a visitor to the Site, you can participate in most activities without providing any personal information. I collect information you provide to me directly. This includes information you provide through any online form, message, phone call, mail, or email.
The Site uses SiteGround Host, which has servers in various places, such as Iowa, Eemshaven, London, Chicago, Amsterdam and Singapore. As a result, some of your personal information may be collected, used, transferred, maintained, disclosed and stored within the United States and internationally. Please see the SiteGround Privacy Policy for more details.
The Site is intended for people, who are 18 years of age or older. By using the website, you affirm that you are at least 18 years of age or older. We do not knowingly solicit or collect information from youth under the age of 18 years old. If you would like your personal data removed, please contact us at contact@ginaleggio.com.
The email I use is unencrypted; therefore, it is not a secure medium of communication. Do not send personal, sensitive information to me through email. If you choose to do so, it is at your own risk. If you have concerns about privacy, you are welcome to call directly or use the secure client portal through My Best Practice once a therapist-client relationship has been established. I do not sell or trade email addresses or phone numbers with third parties.
