Privacy Policy

Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how Jaagran Psychoanalysis and Wellness Centre and Atul Kumar Mehra (“we,” “us”) collect, use, and protect information gathered through this website, atulmehra.com. It applies to this website only.

This policy does not cover clinical records created in the course of psychotherapy or coaching services. Those records are governed separately by professional and regulatory obligations, including the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO) standards and applicable Ontario health information privacy legislation. If you are a client, please speak with Atul directly about how your clinical records are handled.

Information we collect

We collect information in the following ways:

• Contact form submissions. When you use the contact form on this site, we collect the name, email address, and message you provide, so we can respond to your inquiry.
• Comments. If comments are enabled on any post or page, we collect the name, email address, and content you submit, along with your IP address and browser user agent string, to help detect spam.
• Cookies. Like most websites, this site uses cookies for basic functionality (such as remembering your preferences) and, where applicable, for analytics.
• Analytics. We may use analytics tools (such as Google Analytics through Google Site Kit) to understand how visitors use the site, including pages viewed, time on site, and general location and device information. This data is aggregated and not used to personally identify you.
• Embedded content. Pages on this site may include embedded content (for example, YouTube videos, Spotify players, or social media posts). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the same way as if you visited that other website directly, and those sites may collect data about you, use cookies, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content.

How we use your information

We use the information we collect to respond to inquiries submitted through the contact form, to moderate and display comments, to understand and improve how visitors use the site, and to maintain the security and proper functioning of the site.

We do not sell your personal information. We do not share information collected through this website with third parties except as needed to operate the site itself (for example, our web hosting provider and email delivery service) or as required by law.

How long we retain your data

If you submit a message through the contact form, we retain that message for as long as needed to respond to and follow up on your inquiry, and afterward for a reasonable period for our records, unless you ask us to delete it sooner. Comment data may be retained indefinitely so we can recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically, rather than holding them for moderation.

Your rights

If you have submitted personal information to us through this website, you can request to see what information we hold about you, ask us to correct inaccurate information, or ask us to delete it, subject to any legal or record-keeping obligations we may have. To make a request, please use the contact form on this site.

Where your data is sent

Visitor comments, where enabled, may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on this site, you may opt in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies last for one year.

If you visit the login page, we set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time, for example to reflect changes in the tools and services this website uses. We encourage you to review this page periodically.

Contact

If you have questions about this Privacy Policy or how your information is handled, please reach out through the contact page on this site.
