Privacy Policy
for rodgerdouglas.com
Last updated: 20 July 2025
1. Who We Are
RodgerDouglas.com (“we,” “our,” or “the Site”) is an informational website devoted to mindfulness and related topics. You can reach us at rodgerosaka@gmail.com.
2. Your Consent
By browsing or using this Site, you consent to this Privacy Policy and agree to its terms.
3. What We Collect—And What We Don’t
We deliberately avoid tracking cookies, pop-up ads, and third-party advertising scripts because we value a calm, private browsing experience. The only data collected automatically are the minimal technical details your browser sends to every website—IP address, browser type, pages visited, and time-stamp—which our hosting provider stores in standard server log files. We view these logs only to diagnose technical problems or guard against malicious traffic, and we delete or anonymise them on a rolling 30-day basis.
We do not gather any personally identifiable information unless you choose to give it to us. If you email us or use a contact or appointment form, we may ask for your name, email address, phone number, and any details you decide to share so we can reply or arrange an appointment.
That information is used solely for direct communication with you, remains strictly confidential, and is never sold, rented, or shared with third parties.
We also do not process payments on this site and therefore collect no payment-card data. If you later purchase services, the transaction will be handled by a secure third-party processor operating under its own privacy policy.
4. How We Use Your Information
-
to respond to inquiries and schedule appointments
-
to maintain the security and functionality of the Site (via server logs)
-
never to sell, rent, or otherwise disclose your data to third parties except when required by law
5. Data Retention
We keep personal data only as long as necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected and then securely delete or anonymise it.
6. Your Rights
Depending on your jurisdiction (for example, EU GDPR, UK GDPR, or CCPA), you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict the personal data we hold about you. To exercise these rights, email rodgerosaka@gmail.com; we will respond within 30 days.
7. Children’s Privacy
This Site is not directed to children under 18, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone in that age group. If you believe a minor has provided personal data, contact us immediately and we will promptly remove it.
8. Security
We use industry-standard safeguards—HTTPS encryption, strong passwords, and restricted access—to protect information under our control. While no internet transmission is 100 % secure, we strive to protect your data to the best of our ability.
9. Third-Party Links
RodgerDouglas.com may link to external resources (articles, videos, booking platforms). We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites; please review their policies before providing personal information.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will appear on this page with a new “Last updated” date. Continued use of the Site after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
