Privacy Policy

In keeping with the mantra to be an Independent Voice for Behavioral Health, I am careful to avoid pressure from advertisers, the agencies, and the little Napoleons of the world. Behavioral health won’t work in an environment of distrust and you’re witnessing a Healing Revolution.

We don’t sell your information to anyone.

Censorship

Here is a list of social media outlets where the articles get posted: Please leave a 5-Star Review for the Gluten-Free Psychiatry Podcast.

I’ll always be uncensored on Gab and Rumble channels. We’ll see how long I last on YouTube, Amazon and Apple Podcasts.

No Facebook, X, Meta, WhatsApp or Google Adwords tracking.

Who we are

The About Page is located at https://mindshiftcare.com/about-2/.

Email

The plan is to use a 3rd Party email automation service like Aweber or Constant Contact. They come with standard Opt-In and Unsubscribe features and will be the primary way I reach out to notify you of upcoming community events.


Simple Practice HIPAA-Compliance

For secure communications, make an appointment through the Simple Practice platform as a patient would. I use that platform not only for patients, but also for you to upload your medical records for a disability application, leadership opportunity interviews, professional burnout cases, etc. HIPAA-Compliance is the Gold Standard when it comes to secure communications around health matters with end-to-end encryption.

Comments

Most of the time comments are turned off due to the toxicity of the global elites and the cowardice. 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.

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.

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

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

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.
