Who am I
I’m a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) based in Toronto, Canada. My webpage at aryehlesk.ca is about my professional services. The following paragraphs are about what information is used.
What personal data do I collect and why do I collect it
Cookies operate as a tracking technology. They are used to improve my visitors browsing experience and to analyze web traffic to see any sites people are coming from. By browsing my website, you consent to the use of cookies. There are ways you can turn cookies off as well.
Comments
When people leave comments on the site it collects the data shown in the comments form, and also the person’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Cookies
If you leave a comment in my site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
If you have an account and you log in to this site, I will 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.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Analytics
Google Analytics and WordPress Site Stats are used to gain insights on trends and improve the functionality of the aryehlesk.ca website. Google Analytics and WordPress store cookies on your device to keep track of usage data over time. There’s an opt-out browser add-on from Google that helps make opting out incredibly easy and convenient.
Who I share your data with
I don’t sell your data. I also don’t share your data to third-parties beyond the utilities mentioned on this page. Additionally information submitted to the website may be reviewed by my supervisor, or by an administrative assistant.
How long I retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so I can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on my website (if any), it also stores the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data it holds about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that I erase any personal data I hold about you. This does not include any data I am obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where I send your data
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
