Comments

Most commenting areas have been disabled. However, when visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

Cookies

Most commenting areas have been disabled. However, if you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Who we share your data with

Nobody. Since we do not utilize the capacity for you to create a username and password, which is the only circumstance under which any data might be shared, we will therefore never share your data with anyone.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue. (Most comments, however, have been disabled.)

If users were to register on our website (functionality of which has been disabled), we would have to store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users would be able to see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time. Website administrators would be able to see and edit that information. However, none of this is available.

What rights you have over your data

You do not have an account on this site. If you did, or if you left comments, you could request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You could also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes. However, none of this functionality is available.

Where we send your data

If we allowed comments, visitor comments could be checked through an automated spam detection service.

Information Security Policy

Amy Kay Watson handles sensitive information in coaching sessions daily. No information is shared about coaching clients outside of coaching sessions. Brief notes are kept in secure systems for the duration of coaching only and are deleted as soon as the coaching relationship is terminated. The only exception is when conditions arise where confidentiality can no longer be maintained. This may be in instances or cases of “illegal activity, if required by law, pursuant to valid court order or subpoena; imminent of likely risk of danger to self or others; etc.)” (ICF Code of Ethics).

Amy Kay Watson does not handle credit card data. When payments are accepted by credit card, they are done so through an invoicing structure or PayPal.
