Privacy

Welcome. The purpose of DarylAnnSmith.com (“Website,” “we,” “us,” “our”) is to familiarize people with, and connect people to, the Oahu-based professional services of Daryl Ann Smith, RDN, LD, CEDRD, who specializes in nutrition therapy for the treatment of eating disorders.

The Website is found at https://darylannsmith.com/ and is hosted by NameHero.

Our central premise is confidentiality in all interactions with anyone who connects with us via the Website (or any other means).

Unlike many other websites, DarylAnnSmith.com has no ads, no affiliate links, and no newsletter. So, there is a minimal collection of personal and non-personal information required to fulfill the purpose of the Website.

This Privacy Policy governs the manner in which the Website collects, uses, maintains and discloses information collected from users (each, a “User”) and patients (each, a “Patient”) of the Website.

By using the Website, you accept and agree to be bound and abide by the Privacy Policy. If you don’t want to agree to and be bound by the Privacy Policy, you must not access or use the Website.

The good news? The Website exists to support your quest for recovery to normal eating, not to snoop on you or to spam you.

Information We Collect About You

When accessing the Website, we will learn certain information about you, both automatically and through voluntary actions you may take, during your visit. This policy applies to information we collect on the Website and in email, text, or other electronic messages between you and the Website.

Personal Identification Information You Provide to the Website. We collect information that Users and Patients provide via email to the Owner; via search queries on the Website search feature; and in connection with other activities, services, features or resources we make available on this Website. We use the information collected to deliver the requested information.

Users may be asked for, as appropriate, name, email address, mailing address, and credit card information (to secure an appointment, for example). Users may, however, visit our Website anonymously. We will collect personal identification information from Users only if they voluntarily submit such information to us. Users can always refuse to supply personal identification information, except that it may prevent them from engaging in certain Website-related activities.

Non-personal Identification Information We Collect Through Automatic Data Collection Technology. As you navigate through this Website, we may use automatic data collection technologies including Google Analytics to collect certain non-personal identification information about Users. Non-personal identifiable information may include the browser name, the type of computer and technical information about Users’ means of connection to our Website, such as the operating system and the Internet service providers utilized, IP address and other similar information. This is aggregated information we collect automatically and it’s used for statistical data and to adjust content accordingly. It does not include personal information. To the extent that you voluntarily provide personal information to us, our systems will associate the automatically collected information with your personal information. This is a common practice across the Internet.

This Website may collect and use Users’ or Patients’ personal information for the following purposes:

• To improve service
  Information you provide helps us respond to your service requests and support needs.
• To personalize user experience
  We may use information in the aggregate to understand how our Users as a group use the services and resources provided on the Website.
• To share Patients’ experiences
  With permission of a particular Patient, we may anonymously post a Patient’s testimonial about our services.
• To improve the Website
  We may use feedback you provide to improve our products and services. In addition, we may use some of the questions sent to us by Users or Patients, or asked of us via telephone or other means, to develop content for the Website. However, in these cases, all personal identifying information is stripped or modified to protect the privacy of the User or Patient.

NOTE: We do not sell, trade, or rent Users or Patients personal identification information to others.
