Privacy Policy

Effective date: August 13, 2026
Last updated: August 13, 2026

101 Ways to Tell ("we," "us," "our," or the "Site") is committed to protecting the privacy of every visitor, reader, and client who trusts us with their information. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and — most importantly — the commitments we make to never misuse it.
 
If you have questions about this policy or how your information is handled, contact us at doctorrogerwatts@gmail.com.

1. Our Core Privacy Commitments​

  • We never sell, rent, trade, or share your email address or personal contact information with any third party for marketing, advertising, or any other purpose.

  • We collect only the information necessary to provide our guide, resources, checklist, and other services.

  • We will never disclose the fact that you contacted us or purchased our guide, without your explicit written consent.

2. Information We Collect

We collect information in the following ways:​

a. Information you provide directly

  • Name and email address (e.g., when subscribing to updates, downloading the guide, or submitting a contact form)

  • Payment information when purchasing information on the site (processed securely by a third-party payment processor; we do not store full payment card numbers on our own servers)

b. Information collected automatically

  • Standard technical data (IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, referring site) collected through basic site analytics and cookies, used only to understand site usage and improve content

c. We do not knowingly collect more personal information than is needed to deliver the resources, Checklist & Rating Scale, or other information on the site you requested.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect only to:

  • Deliver the guide, checklist, or resource you requested

  • Respond to inquiries submitted through our contact form

  • Send occasional updates, new resources, or guide-related communications — "only if you have opted in, and you may unsubscribe at any time

  • Maintain the security, integrity, and lawful operation of the Site

  • Comply with legal or regulatory obligations

 

We do not use your information for automated profiling, targeted third-party advertising, or any purpose beyond what is described above.

4. Email Address Privacy

Your email address is treated as confidential information.

  • We will never sell, license, rent, or share your email address with third parties for their own marketing purposes.

  • Email communications from us are sent using reputable, privacy-respecting email service providers solely to deliver the content or service you requested.

  • Every marketing or newsletter email includes a clear, functioning unsubscribe link. Opting out stops all future non-essential communications immediately.

  • Transactional emails (e.g., purchase confirmations, appointment reminders) are sent only as needed to fulfill a service you requested and are not used for marketing without separate consent.

5. When We May Disclose Information

We only disclose personal or any other information without your consent when legally required to do so, including:

  • Compliance with a valid subpoena, court order, or law enforcement request

  • Mandated reporting obligations (e.g., suspected child abuse, elder abuse, or imminent risk of serious harm to self or others), consistent with applicable state and professional ethical requirements

  • Protecting the safety of you or others in an emergency

 

In all other circumstances, your information stays private.

6. Cookies & Analytics

Our Site may use minimal cookies or similar technologies to:

  • Remember basic site preferences

  • Understand aggregate, anonymized visitor patterns to improve content and navigation

We do not use cookies for third-party ad targeting or cross-site tracking. You can disable cookies through your browser settings at any time; core content will still be accessible.

7. Data Security

We take reasonable administrative, technical, and physical measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction, including:

  • Encrypted data transmission (HTTPS/SSL)

  • Restricted, need-to-know access to personal or related information

No online system is 100% secure, but we continuously review our practices to minimize risk.

8. Data Retention

We retain personal information only as long as necessary to:

  • Fulfill the purpose it was collected for

  • Meet professional record keeping and other possible legal requirements 

  • Support legitimate business or legal needs

You may request deletion of personal information (such as newsletter subscription data) at any time, subject to Section 9 below.

9. Your Rights & Choices

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

  • Access the personal information we hold about you

  • Correct inaccurate information

  • Request deletion of your information (where not subject to legal retention requirements)

  • Opt out of email communications at any time

  • Request a copy of your information in a portable format

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at drrogerwatts@gmail.com. We will respond within a reasonable time and in accordance with applicable law (e.g., CCPA for California residents, GDPR for EU/UK residents, if applicable to our visitors).
We do not sell personal information, so there is no "opt-out of sale" needed — this is our practice by default, not just upon request.

10. Children's Privacy

101 Ways to Tell is intended for adults aged 18 or older seeking guidance about a loved one. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that a child has submitted personal information, we will delete it promptly.

11. International Visitors

101 Ways to Tell is based in Minnesota and primarily serves visitors and clients in the United States. Regardless of where you are located, we apply the privacy protections described in this policy to all visitors, and we comply with applicable data protection laws in the jurisdictions where we operate and where our clients reside.

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. Material changes will be noted with a new "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the Site after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
