The following discloses the information gathering and dissemination practices for these Web sites.

Log Files
Like most standard Web site servers, I use log files. This includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time stamp, and number of clicks to analyze trends, administer the site, track user’s movement in the aggregate, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses, etc. are not linked to personally identifiable information.

E-mail Subscription
If a user wishes to subscribe to my posts via e-mail (powered by Feedburner), I ask for contact information such as name and email address. Out of respect for my users’ privacy, a way to opt-out of these communications is provided.

Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user’s computer tied to information about the user. My site use cookies for tracking visitors’ activity. Some of my business partners use cookies on our site (for example, advertisers). However, I have no access to or control over these cookies, once I have given permission for them to set cookies for advertising.

Links
This Web site contains links to other sites. Please be aware that I am not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. I encourage my users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each and every Web site that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by this Web site.

Advertisers
I use outside ad companies to display ads on my site. Some of these partners may use cookies and web beacons on our site which I do not have access to. I work with the ad companies: Google Adsense, and NuffNang. Please check their websites for respective privacy policies.

Contact Information
If users have any questions or suggestions regarding my privacy policy, please contact me @ yapatoots{at}gmail{dot}com

Disclosure
All posts in this site are my own compositions, unless otherwise specified. Occasionally, I may re-post articles with the original authors permission. Further, everything you read here are based on my personal opinions, experiences and beliefs and are in no way coerced or influenced by anyone. Occasionally, however, I may be compensated in some way, shape or form for my point of view on certain topics for discussion, but this does not mean I am not offering an honest opinion about these discussion points.

While I have been a teacher for over a decade now and a psychologist for some time as well, I do not claim to be an expert in the field (or in any other field for that matter). Occasionally I may suggest techniques and strategies or offer my advice about certain issues, but please not that these are merely based on my own experiences and should not be taken as professional (be it legal, medical or psychological) advice. Similarly, I make no claims of any form of client/psychologist (or similar relationships) confidentiality.

Seeking advice from an accredited professional is strongly recommended.

Lastly, please remember that we are all entitled to our own opinions. Dissent from my opinions are welcome, but do note that I would appreciate keeping discussions clean and fair.
