Who we are
This website, drjrileyjones.com, is operated by Dr. Justin Jones, PhD in New York. In this policy “we” and “us” refer to Dr. Justin Jones, PhD, and “you” refers to anyone who visits the site.
Questions about this policy can be sent to info@drjrileyjones.com.
Information you give us
You can browse this site without telling us who you are. We collect personal information only when you choose to send it:
- Contact and appointment forms — your name, email address, phone number if you provide one, and whatever you write in the message field.
- Newsletter sign-up — your email address, and your first name if the form asks for it.
- Direct correspondence — anything you send us by email in reply to a message from this site.
Form submissions are delivered to us by email and stored in this website’s own database so that enquiries are not lost. We mention this because it is easy to assume a web form only sends an email.
Information collected automatically
Like most websites, this one records limited technical information whenever a page loads: IP address, browser and device type, operating system, referring page, the pages you view, and the date and time. Our hosting provider also keeps standard server logs for security and troubleshooting.
Cookies and tracking technologies
We use cookies and similar technologies to keep the site working, to understand how it is used, and to measure advertising. Specifically:
- Essential cookies — set by WordPress and our host to serve pages, remember form state, and protect against abuse. The site does not work properly without them.
- Google Analytics — measures traffic and how visitors move through the site, in aggregate.
- Meta Pixel — tells us whether people who saw our posts or advertising on Facebook and Instagram later visited this site, and allows us to show ads to people who have visited before.
- LinkedIn Insight Tag — the same function for LinkedIn.
These advertising technologies place cookies and may receive your IP address and browsing activity on this site. They allow us to reach people who have shown interest in this work. They are not used to identify you by name to us, and we do not upload your contact details to advertising platforms.
How we use your information
- To respond to enquiries and arrange appointments or consultations.
- To send the newsletter, if you asked for it.
- To operate, secure, and improve the website.
- To measure whether our writing and advertising reach the people it is meant for.
- To meet legal, professional, and regulatory obligations.
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not rent or trade contact details with anyone.
Who we share it with
We share information only with service providers who help us run the site and communicate with you, and only to the extent they need it: our web host, our email delivery provider, Google, Meta, and LinkedIn for the analytics and advertising functions described above.
We may also disclose information where the law requires it, where it is necessary to establish or defend a legal claim, or where disclosure is required or permitted by our professional and ethical obligations.
Your choices
- Newsletter — every message carries an unsubscribe link, and it works immediately. You can also write to us and we will remove you.
- Cookies — your browser can block or delete cookies. Blocking essential cookies may stop parts of the site working.
- Advertising — you can adjust ad settings at Meta, LinkedIn, and opt out of Google Analytics with Google’s browser add-on.
How long we keep it
Enquiries and correspondence are kept for as long as needed to answer them and to meet our professional record-keeping and legal obligations, and then deleted. Newsletter subscriptions are kept until you unsubscribe. Analytics data is retained according to the settings of the platforms named above.
Security
The site is served over an encrypted connection and we take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect the information we hold. No website or email system is completely secure, which is why we ask you not to send sensitive information through this site.
Children
This website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has sent us information, write to us and we will delete it.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to ask what personal information we hold about you, to have it corrected or deleted, to object to certain uses, and to opt out of targeted advertising. This includes residents of California under the CCPA as amended, residents of other US states with comparable laws, and individuals in the United Kingdom and European Economic Area under the UK GDPR and GDPR.
To exercise any of these rights, write to info@drjrileyjones.com. We will not treat you differently for asking. Note that clinical records, where they exist, are governed by separate health-privacy law rather than by this policy.
We are also subject to the New York SHIELD Act and maintain safeguards for private information as that law requires.
Links to other sites
This site links to other websites we do not control. We are not responsible for their content or their privacy practices, and we encourage you to read their policies before giving them information.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the site changes or as the law requires. The effective date at the top will always show the current version. Material changes will be flagged on this page.
