This page explains what personal information I receive through this website and by email, why, and how I protect it.
Who is responsible
I, Alyssa Herzig, am responsible for protecting your personal information. You can reach me at Coaching@AlyssaHerzigPhD.com.
What I receive
When you send me a message through this website or by email, I receive your name, your email address, your phone number if you give it, and whatever you choose to write to me.
When you take my emotions quiz, I receive your answers and your results, without your name, and your feedback if you send it.
If you ask for your quiz results by email, or join my mailing list from the quiz, I receive your email address and use it only for that.
If you comment on one of my articles, I receive the name and the comment you write, and they’re published under the article. Your browser keeps a small key so that you can edit your comment later, and a note of the comments you’ve liked.
If you ask to be told about replies, I keep your email address only to send you those notices.
When you visit this website, I count which pages are visited, the time spent on each, how visitors arrived (for example from Google or Facebook), and the city or country they come from. This uses no cookies and doesn’t record who you are.
Why
To reply to you, to arrange a free consultation if you ask for one, and to improve my emotions quiz and this website. I never sell your information or share it with advertisers.
Who else handles it
- Google, which provides my email (Gmail).
- Google, which also keeps a copy of every message sent through my website’s forms, so none get lost (Google Sheets).
- Google, which stores the sign-up information for my mailing list (Google Forms).
- The service that sends this website’s forms to my email.
- The company that hosts this website, which may automatically record basic technical information about visits, such as IP addresses.
- Anthropic, which writes the results of my emotions quiz (Claude).
- GitHub, which stores the quiz answers, results and feedback I receive, without names.
- GitHub, which also keeps a copy of any message sent through my website’s forms that couldn’t reach my email, so none get lost.
- I may use AI tools, such as ChatGPT or Claude, to help me with my work. If I do, what you send me may be processed by that company.
These companies may store information outside Quebec, including in the United States.
How long I keep it
I keep your messages as long as needed to stay in communication with you. You can ask me to delete yours at any time.
How I protect it
I take reasonable steps to protect your information, such as passwords on my email, my Google account and my computer.
