The web servers that host Connect Therapy™ web sites automatically identify your computer by the IP address assigned to it and logs your IP address as a security measure.
Connect Therapy will not use your IP address for marketing purposes. We may use it to help diagnose problems with our servers and to administer our web site.
We do not ordinarily associate an individual’s IP address to his/her personal information. We will have a record of your visit to our site, but your identity generally remains anonymous to us. We match IP addresses to the identity of users of our site when we feel it necessary in order to protect our site and/or other users.

- to send periodic newsletters as requested.
If you choose to subscribe to one of our newsletters or mailing lists, we will only use your email address for that purpose. You may unsubscribe at any time.
Connect Therapy will make every reasonable effort to keep information secure, and will not disclose that information beyond Connect Therapy other than to fulfil our business obligations to the user. For example, if the user has placed an order, Connect Therapy may supply address details to third parties assisting in the transaction. Similarly, Connect Therapy uses return email addresses to answer emails we receive. We also use such addresses for future marketing of Connect Therapy’s products and services, but they are not shared with third parties.
We may extend offers to users on behalf of our partners about a particular product or service that may be of interest to you, but we will never give out your personal information at any time without your permission. Although we may receive a fee from our partners for this service, Connect Therapy facilitates the sending of all such offers so that your personal information is never shared with any outside third party.
We may, at times, produce reports for affiliates containing aggregate information about our users such as demographic, age and online usage information. This allows us to work more closely with affiliates to provide content and offers that are most relevant to our users. We will never include any personal information of our users in these reports.
We do NOT give or sell your personal information to any third party except in extraordinary circumstances as outlined in ‘Disclosure Of Personal Information’ below.

- If we have reasonable grounds to believe that use or disclosure is necessary to protect the integrity of our site and our property and to protect the rights, privacy, property, or safety of our users or others;
- If it is necessary for fraud protection, risk reduction, or the collection of monies owed to us;
- If the information is public;
