Our approach to privacy
PsychiatryRx is built to need as little of your information as possible. You do not need an account to read anything on the site. The site does not ask for health information, and it is designed so that you can learn about a medication without identifying yourself. This policy explains the limited information the site does involve, and how it is handled.
Information we collect
Information you do not have to give. There is no account, no sign-up, and no form that asks for personal or health details in order to read the site.
Information collected automatically. Like almost all websites, PsychiatryRx and its hosting provider keep standard server logs. These can include your device's IP address, browser type, the pages you visit, and the date and time. This information is used to operate the site, keep it secure, and diagnose technical problems. If the site uses analytics, it uses a privacy-respecting analytics service that measures overall traffic, such as which pages are read most, without tracking you across other websites.
Information you choose to give. If you email the support address, we receive your email address and whatever you write. We use it only to respond to you.
Saved pages. If you bookmark or save pages on the site, that list is stored only in your own browser, on your own device. It is never sent to a server, and PsychiatryRx cannot see it. Clearing your browser storage removes it.
Cookies and similar technologies
PsychiatryRx uses as little of this kind of technology as it can. The saved-pages feature uses your browser's local storage, which stays on your device. Any analytics in use is chosen for being privacy-respecting and cookie-light. You can control or clear cookies and local storage through your browser settings at any time.
Third-party services
PsychiatryRx relies on a small number of outside services to run: a website host, and, where used, an analytics provider and a web-font provider. These services may process limited technical information, such as IP addresses, in order to deliver the site. They are not permitted to use that information to build advertising profiles of you.
How we use information
We use the limited information described above only to operate and secure the site, to understand in aggregate which content readers find useful, and to respond to messages you send us. That is all.
What we do not do
PsychiatryRx does not sell or rent your personal information. It does not run advertising. It does not track you across other websites, and it does not build behavioral profiles of its readers.
Children's privacy
PsychiatryRx is intended for adults. It is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can remove it.
Your choices and your rights
You can use the site without giving any personal information. You can clear your saved pages and any stored data through your browser at any time. Depending on where you live, you may have rights over your personal information, such as the right to know what is held about you, to request its deletion, or to opt out of the sale of personal information. PsychiatryRx does not sell personal information. To make a privacy request or ask a question, contact us at the address below.
Data security
We take reasonable steps to protect the limited information the site involves. No website or method of transmission is perfectly secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the site changes. The date at the top of this page shows when it was last updated.
