When the terms "we", "us", "our" or similar are used in this Agreement, they refer to any firm that owns and operates the Platform (the "Firm").
- The Counselors and Counselor Services
The Platform may be used to connect you with a Counselor who will provide services to you through the Platform (“Counselor Services”).

The Counselors are independent providers who are neither our employees nor agents nor representatives. The Platform’s role is limited to enabling the Counselor Services. The Counselors themselves are responsible for the performance of the Counseling Services. If you feel the Counselor Services provided by the Counselor do not fit your needs or expectations, you may change to a different Counselor who provides services through the Platform. If a Counselor you have been connected with stops using the Platform at any time after you have been connected, we will send an email to notify you that your Counselor is no longer on the Platform and that you have the opportunity to match with a new Counselor.
While we hope the Counselor Services are beneficial to you, you understand, agree and acknowledge that they may not be the appropriate solution for everyone’s needs and that they may not be appropriate for every particular situation and/or may not be a complete substitute for a face-to-face examination and/or care in every particular situation.

A "cookie" is a small data file that is transferred to your computer's hard disk for record-keeping purposes. We collect cookies that are necessary for the Platform to function, cookies that enhance the Platform’s performance, and cookies used for third-party tracking. A "web beacon" is a tiny and sometimes invisible image or embedded code, placed on a Web page or email that can report your visit or use to a third party. Web beacons are typically used by third parties to monitor the activity of users at a website for the purpose of web analytics, advertising optimization, or page tagging.

Use of Cookies, Web Beacons, and Similar Technology for Advertising Networks
If you opt in to the use of targeting cookies and web beacons, you and others may see certain ads for our services or for the Platform on other websites because we participate in ad networks.

The networks use this information to show advertisements that may be tailored to an individual’s interests. The information our ad networks may collect includes information about your visits to websites that participate in the relevant ad networks, such as the pages or advertisements you view and the actions you take on the websites.

We do not have control over third-party websites and services, and we do not have control over their privacy policies and terms of use.
- Security of Information
While using any Internet-based service carries inherent security risks that cannot be 100% prevented, our systems, infrastructure, encryption technology, operation and processes are all designed, built, and maintained with your security and privacy in mind. We apply industry standards and best practices to prevent any unauthorized access, use, and disclosure. We comply with all applicable federal laws, state laws, and regulations regarding data privacy.
- Service Providers
