Privacy Policy for Ruth Silbert Coaching

At Ruth Silbert Coaching, we value your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. This policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your data when you visit our website at https://ruthsilbertcoaching.ca, especially in the context of our ADHD coaching services.

Comments & Visitor Information

When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the information shown in the comment form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent. We use this information to help detect spam.

If you use a Gravatar profile, an anonymized hash of your email address may be sent to the Gravatar service to check for an associated image. For more on how Gravatar handles your information, visit Automattic’s Privacy Policy. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture becomes visible alongside your comment.

Media & Uploads

If you upload images to the website, please avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Other visitors can download and extract location data from publicly displayed images.

Cookies

Our site uses cookies to improve your experience and functionality. If you leave a comment, you can choose to save your name, email, and website in cookies for your convenience. These cookies last one year.

We also use cookies to manage logins, screen display preferences, and editorial sessions. For example:

  • Login cookies last two days (or two weeks with “Remember Me” enabled).

  • Screen option cookies last one year.

  • Post-edit cookies expire after 24 hours.

You can manage cookie settings through your browser at any time.

Embedded Content from Other Sites

Our ADHD coaching website may include embedded videos, articles, or images. These function as if you visited the external site directly. These sites may collect data, use cookies, and monitor your interaction—especially if you’re logged in to their platform.

Data Sharing & Retention

We do not share your personal data except when necessary to fulfill a request—such as when you initiate a password reset, which includes your IP address.

  • Comments and their metadata are retained indefinitely to streamline follow-ups.

  • If you register for an account, your provided information is stored in your user profile. You may view, edit, or delete your personal info (except usernames). Website admins also have access to this data.

Your Rights Over Your Data

You can request an export of the personal data we hold about you. You may also ask us to delete your personal data—except for any information we must retain for legal, administrative, or security purposes. To make a request, visit our Contact page.

Where We Send Your Data

We use an automated spam detection service to screen visitor comments and form submissions.

If you have questions about how we use your data in connection with ADHD coaching, please feel free to contact us.
