Privacy Statement
Who we are
HypnosisHealthInfo.com is a website dedicated to educating the public about hypnosis and its applications. It is wholly owned and operated by Roger Moore dba Palm Desert Hypnosis. All content belongs to Roger Moore (unless otherwise noted) and subject to its copyright.

Collecting of Personal Data
HypnosisHealthInfo.com never collects any personal data without your express permission. When you contact us via email, we can of course see your email address and must use that to reply to you. If they have long-term relevance, these emails may be stored on our personal server until no longer needed, but they are NEVER shared, sold or added to our email list. In addition, our website does not use cookies or in any way collect your device’s IP address—except when you comment on a blog post. See below for more on that. When you visit HypnosisHealthInfo.com you are anonymous unless you choose to engage with us.
Our Opt-in Email list
All of our online contact forms are now GDPR compliant (following the new data privacy regulations of the European Union). If you explicitly choose to, you may sign up to be added to our internal email list to receive news of topics relevant to HypnosisHealthInfo.com. This list contains just your name and email address. The list is stored online at our email sender, MailChimp, but we are the only ones who ever have access to it. Despite its playful name, MailChimp is a well-established company with very strict guidelines about what it does with your data (basically nothing beyond keeping it safe for us and providing us with some analytics about the performance of our emails). You can read their fine print at www.mailchimp.com. You can remove yourself from these infrequent mailings simply by clicking the unsubscribe link at the bottom of every email.
Sharing of Information
HypnosisHealthInfo.com does not ever sell, rent or exchange personal information or our email list with third parties. We hate spam as much and perhaps even more than you do.
Purchasing our products
If you purchase something directly from HypnosisHealthInfo.com you will be directed to do so via our payment processor, PayPal. This is a very secure encrypted site, and one of the reasons we use it is because we never see your financial data, your physical address, or anything except the following: what you purchased and when, your email address in case we need to contact you about your purchase, plus your name as it appears on PayPal. (For example, if you buy something with a business account, the record we see will simply show that name.) Please see PayPal’s own Privacy Policy if you have questions about how your data is stored by them. www.paypal.com
Referrals to Other Websites to Purchase Products
HypnosisHealthInfo.com may refer users to other websites to purchase products. User activity on those sites is covered by the privacy policies on those sites.
Blog Post Comments
When visitors leave comments on this 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. We use the gold standard anti-spam WordPress software Akismet to monitor all user comments on this site. In this context only, your IP address is collected to insure all comments are coming from authentic sources (not bots or known spam sources). All comments are held for manual moderation, which protects our readers from having to scroll through irrelevant messages. That allows us to block users who use defamatory language or engage in other detrimental behaviors. Any information collected when you leave a comment is stored by our web hosting company, SiteGround, on their secure, GDPR-compliant server located in Chicago, IL. https://www.siteground.com/ All legitimate comments remain on our site indefinitely as a service to other readers. To request that a comment of yours be deleted, simply contact Roger Moore. Learn more about Akismet here: https://automattic.com/privacy-notice/

Online Surveys
At times HypnosisHealthInfo.com may conduct online surveys asking for specific contact or demographic information and product preferences. These surveys are always optional. The purpose of these surveys is to improve the web site and/or products we are offering.
Change Policy
From time to time we may revise this privacy notice.
