Members of the General Public
Data Collection
The primary way we protect your data is by collecting as little data as possible. Beyond the data that WordPress automatically collects (and which we cannot control), our aim is to minimize the options available to users to provide potentially identifying data.
We do not allow for comments on our articles or media uploads. Delvepsych.com does not utilize any additional cookies beyond those that wordpress.com automatically employs (and which we cannot control). We do not allow members of the general public to register on our website.
If we become aware that a member of the general public has supplied us with identifiable data, we will investigate the unauthorized use of this site (including the manner in which this data was provided) and may use the data provided to block the user from further use of the site (should the findings of this investigation so warrant).
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.
