Protecting your Personal Information

HandsOnWellness.org. takes reasonable technological and physical security measures to protect each user’s Personal Information; however, users must protect their own passwords and login information themselves. The company cannot protect a user’s Personal Information from a third-party who has obtained their login and password credentials legally or illegally. Users are cautioned to take great care to protect their own passwords. Some recommended strategies to help protect passwords are as follows:

    1. Always select a password that is a mixture of at least 7 letters and numbers that cannot be easily associated with your known personal information.
    2. Never enter your password in the presence of another person who could watch you type it.
    3. Never use the same password on different websites that are insecure or possibly run by companies, which do not protect your Personal Information.

Updating Your Personal Information and Contacting HandsOnWellness.org

You can always contact us in order to (1) delete your Personal Information or (2) update the Personal Information that you have provided to us by emailing us at info@handsonwellness.org. Such changes will not have any effect on other information that HandsOnWellness.org maintains. You may not delete your Personal Information if you wish to continue access to the Website and/or our HandsOnWellness.org services.

It is not technologically reasonable to remove each and every record of the information you have provided to HandsOnWellness.org from our computers servers. The need to back-up our systems to protect information from inadvertent loss means that a copy of your Personal Information may exist in a non-erasable form that will be difficult or impossible for the company to locate. Nevertheless, upon receiving your request, all Personal Information stored in the live active databases we host will be removed.

Privacy as it applies to the Internet is a dynamic, rapidly developing area. In the future, the company may make significant changes to its privacy policy affecting the use of the Personal Information it collects. The company will notify users by email of any significant material changes to its privacy policy and obtain your "opt-in" consent to any significant new uses of your Personal Information, if it was collected from you prior to a significant change in this policy. The company may also make non-significant changes to our Privacy Policy that generally will not affect the use of your Personal Information. You should also check this posted Privacy Policy for any future changes. If you do not agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy or any revised policy, please exit the site immediately and terminate your subscription to HandsOnWellness.org.
