Privacy Policy

The Psychological Alliance for Transparency and Humanity ("PATH," "we," "us," or "our") operates pathforhumanity.com (the "Site"). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit the Site, how we use it, and your choices. By using the Site, you agree to the practices described here.

Information We Collect

Information You Provide

When you contact us through the Site's contact form or by email, we collect the information you voluntarily provide — typically your name, email address, and the content of your message. If you submit a membership inquiry, we may also collect professional information you choose to share, such as your professional background or area of practice.

We do not process payments, sell products, or maintain user accounts on this Site. We do not collect payment card information, income information, or marital-status information.

When you visit the Site, our hosting infrastructure and analytics tools may automatically collect certain technical information, including:

• IP address
• Browser type and version
• Operating system
• Pages visited and time spent on the Site
• Referring URL
• Date and time of your visit

This information is used to understand how visitors use the Site and to improve its content and performance. It is not used to identify you personally.

Cookies

The Site may use cookies and similar technologies for analytics and security purposes. You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse cookies or to be notified when a cookie is set. Disabling cookies may affect some Site functionality.

How We Share Your Information

PATH does not sell your personal information. We do not share your information with advertisers or marketing partners.

We may share your information with third-party service providers who assist us in operating the Site — including our web hosting provider, email delivery service, and analytics provider. These service providers are permitted to use your information only as necessary to provide services to us and are required to maintain appropriate security measures.

We may also disclose your information when required by law, court order, or other legal process, or when we believe disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of PATH, our users, or others.

Analytics

The Site uses website analytics tools (currently StatCounter) to collect aggregated information about Site usage. Analytics data helps us understand which content is most useful to visitors. We do not use analytics data to identify individual users. You can opt out of analytics tracking by enabling the "Do Not Track" setting in your browser or by using a browser extension that blocks analytics scripts.

Data Retention

We retain contact and inquiry information for as long as necessary to respond to your inquiry and for a reasonable period thereafter for record-keeping purposes. We retain analytics data in aggregated form. You may request deletion of your personal information by contacting us at the address below.

Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect the information we collect. No information system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your information.

Children's Privacy

The Site is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will take steps to delete it.

Third-Party Links

The Site may contain links to third-party websites, including government agencies, academic institutions, and research organizations. This Privacy Policy does not apply to those sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit.
