Privacy Policy
Date Last Modified: September 10, 2017
At Life Coaching by Esther, LLC, we respect and value your privacy. This privacy statement describes and applies to the information we collect from you when you visit the Life Coaching by Esther website (the “Website”), how we use that information, and under what circumstances we disclose it. It will also give you more information about how to manage the personal information that you provide to us through this site. This statement applies only to information you provide to us online while visiting or using our Website. It does not apply to information we have obtained or may obtain offline through other traditional means.
Life Coaching by Esther also maintains a separate Notice of Privacy Practices, as required by law, that applies to protected health information that it collects from individuals. You may view that statement on the following page: HIPAA POLICY.
1. THE INFORMATION WE COLLECT
When you use our website, we receive and collect certain information. The information that we receive and collect depends on what you do when you visit this Website.
Automatically Collected Information
Some information is automatically received and sometimes collected from you when you visit the Website. This information may include some or all of the following items: the name of the domain and host from which you access the Internet, including the Internet protocol (IP) address of the computer you are using and the IP address of your Internet Service Provider; the type and version of Internet browser software you use and your operating system; the date and time you access our site, the length of your stay and the specific pages, images, video or forms that you access while visiting the site; the Internet address of the website from which you linked directly to our website, and if applicable, the search engine that referred you and any search strings or phrases that you entered into the search engine to find this site; and demographic information concerning the country of origin of your computer and the language(s) used by it.
We use this information to monitor the usage of our website, assess its performance, ensure technological compatibility with your computer, and understand the relative importance of the information provided on our website. We may also use this data to conduct statistical analyses on visitors’ usage patterns and other aggregated data.
Information Collected via Cookies
“Cookies” are small files or records that are placed on your computer’s hard drive to distinguish you from other visitors to the website. The use of cookies is a standard practice among websites to collect or track information about your activities while using the website. A cookie may enable the website holder to track how a visitor navigates through its website and the areas in which they show interest. This is similar to a traffic report: it tracks trends and behaviors, but does not identify individuals. Information gathered may include date and time of visits, pages viewed, time spent at the site, and the website visited just before and just after the Website.
Cookies can be set to expire: (1) on a specified date; (2) after a specific period of time; (3) when a transaction has been completed; or (4) when a user turns off his/her Internet browser. A cookie that is erased from memory when a visitor’s Internet browser closes is called a “session” cookie. Cookies that expire based on a time set by the Web server are called “persistent” cookies.
The Website uses “session cookies”, which disappear from your computer after you have closed your Internet browser. Most people do not know that cookies are being placed on their computers when they visit the Website or most websites because browsers are typically set to accept cookies. You can choose to have your browser warn you every time a cookie is being sent to you or you can turn off cookie placements. If you refuse cookies, you can still browse the Website.
Information Collected Using Pixel Tags or Clear GIFs
Pixel Tags or Clear GIFs, also known as Web Beacons or Web Bugs, are transparent graphical images placed on a website. The Website does not currently use these items on its website.
