What information do we collect?
VONDIE LOZANO, PH.D., LMFT collects information in two categories:

1) Personally Identifiable Information (PII)

name and e-mail address: provided by you for registration to receive our free newsletters, name, postal address, phone and credit card information: provided by you when purchasing our products or services.

demographic information: used to improve our marketing, products and services
All such information is strictly protected and used only for delivering the content, products, or services the user has signed up for or purchased, or for finding other men and women who may find our information valuable. This information is NEVER used for other purposes and is NEVER shared with 3rd parties for their own use. 

2) Anonymous Usage History (non PII)

This information is strictly limited to the history of activities that the user engaged in while on our site. it does NOT include any personally identifiable information (PII).

The purpose of this information is to improve your experience.

Some of these third parties, aggregate such information across many websites. This allows them to identify users who are more likely to be interested in specific offerings like fashion, sports, education and so on.

As an Internet user, you may experience the results of such aggregation by noticing how the ads displayed on Yahoo, for example, better match your interests (the optimistic scenario), or at least more closely match a website that you recently visited.

Whether you find this annoying and spooky or helpful and relevant, or perhaps both, you are in good company. This area of Internet advertising is new and controversial. The tradeoff between privacy vs. commercial efficiency has a long history, for example the “Do not call” list.

In any event, it is likely that either the government or the industry will adopt some form of “opt out” capability in the future to address these concerns.
