Self-Care Society Participation Agreement

Last Updated: 3/10/22

These Terms of Use (the “Terms” or the “Agreement”) for Self-Care Society (the “Company”) were last updated on March 10, 2022.

These Terms apply to all of your activities, including accessing online courses (the “Courses”) on Self-Care Society’s website (the “Website”), in-person events and to other related services (collectively, the “Services”).

During the time you participate in or access Self-Care Society’s Services, you have a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license from us to access and view the content included in any Service. Self-Care Society reserves the right to revoke any license to the content for legal or policy reasons at any time and at our sole discretion.

  1. Your Account

As a participant in or while accessing Self-Care Society’s Services, you may be asked to register with us. When you do so, you will choose a user identifier, which may be your email address or another term, as well as a password. You may also provide personal information, including, but not limited to, your name. You are responsible for ensuring the accuracy of this information. This identifying information will enable you to participate in the Services. You must not share such identifying information with any third party, and if you discover that your identifying information has been compromised, you agree to notify us immediately in writing. Email notification will suffice. You are responsible for maintaining the safety and security of your identifying information as well as keeping us apprised of any changes to your identifying information.

The billing information you provide us, including credit card, billing address and other payment information, is subject to the same confidentiality and accuracy requirements as the rest of your identifying information.

Providing false or inaccurate information or using the Course or the Website to further fraud or unlawful activity is grounds for immediate termination of this Agreement.

Your privacy is critically important to us.

It is Self-Care Society’s policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our website. This Privacy Policy applies to www.myselfcaresociety.com (hereinafter, “us”, “we”, or “www.myselfcaresociety.com”). We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting personally identifiable information you may provide us through the Website. We have adopted this privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) to explain what information may be collected on our Website, how we use this information, and under what circumstances we may disclose the information to third parties. This Privacy Policy applies only to information we collect through the Website and does not apply to our collection of information from other sources.

This Privacy Policy, together with the Terms and conditions posted on our Website, set forth the general rules and policies governing your use of our Website. Depending on your activities when visiting our Website, you may be required to agree to additional terms and conditions.

Website Visitors

Like most website operators, Self-Care Society collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Self-Care Society’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Self-Care Society’s visitors use its website. From time to time, Self-Care Society may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

Self-Care Society also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on http://www.myselfcaresociety.com blog posts. Self-Care Society only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to Self-Care Society’s websites choose to interact with Self-Care Society in ways that require Self-Care Society to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Self-Care Society gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up for a blog at http://www.myselfcaresociety.com to provide a username and email address.

Security

The security of your Personal Information is important to us, but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using Self-Care Society’s website, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. Self-Care Society will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, Self-Care Society discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when Self-Care Society believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Self-Care Society, third parties or the public at large.

If you send us a request (for example via a support email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. Self-Care Society takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.

What personal data we collect and why we collect it

Comments

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.

Cookies

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.

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.

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.

For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
