This privacy policy describes how we treat the information you choose to provide through this site. Please take a few moments to read this privacy policy carefully. If you have any questions, please contact us.

What personal information will we collect?
We will collect information that identifies you (“personal information”) only when you voluntarily provide it to us. For example, when you decide to register online for free information or in order to purchase and pay for a course, to sign up for paid annual membership with access to the AEDP Listserve and Transformance Journal, we will ask you to provide some personal information, such as your first and last name, and email address. When we collect such information, we will make every effort to link to this privacy policy.

How will we use this information? 
We will use this personal information to fulfill your online requests. For example, if you sign up for our paid annual membership, we will use your personal information to process your request and to give you access online to the Transformance Journal. We also may use this information to notify you of special offers, new courses, and other training that might interest you. If at any time you decide that you do not wish to receive these types of communications, simply follow the unsubscribe features contained in any email from us.

We will never sell your information to anyone.

We may also use this information in aggregate form in various ways; for example, to help us evaluate and modify existing services, and to help us develop additional services and training courses that are likely to interest other therapy professionals. The AEDP Institute may do research on our users’ demographics, interests, and behavior based on the information provided to us upon registration, during a promotion, from our server log files, and from surveys. We do this to better understand and serve our users.

Under confidentiality agreements, the AEDP Institute may share this aggregated data—not your personal information—with advertisers or business partners. Also, the AEDP Institute may disclose aggregated user statistics in order to describe our services to prospective partners, advertisers, and other third parties, and for other lawful purposes.

Any third party that has access to our database for this purpose is bound by the terms set forth in this policy.

If you opt in on the email form, we may share your personal information that we collect online with our current or future affiliated companies and with select third parties that may email you information or special offerings about products or services that we believe may interest you. It is your choice to allow us to disclose your personal information to third parties for this purpose, and your choice will not affect the cost of your service. This free choice also applies to personal information that we collect from you offline, and you can choose not to have information shared by us with third parties for marketing by calling, writing, or emailing us.

In any event, please note that we do not hold and will not share your credit card information for any purposes purposes. Finally, we may be required to disclose personal information by law or legal process, to protect and defend the rights or property of the AEDP Institute, or to protect the personal safety of our website users and customers.

How do we protect this information? 
We take reasonable measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access through the use of encryption and network firewalls. We also safeguard your personal information from unauthorized access by limiting the number of employees permitted to access such information and by having in place processes for disciplinary action where appropriate. However, as effective as these measures are, no security system is impenetrable.
