GATHERING, USE AND RETENTION OF INFORMATION
I do not disclose, give, or sell any personal information about site visitors and, or clients. I can provide personal information to outside health care providers (such as a client’s family doctor) and, or external individuals (such as family members, caregivers) only if requested by the client and written, formal consent is obtained.
I am an active member of the College of Dietitians of Ontario (CDO) and as such may occasionally be subject to external audits as a part of its regulatory activities in the public interest. The CDO has it’s own strict confidentiality and privacy obligations.
Information submitted by clients or site-users on a voluntary basis is used for the purpose of providing you with information about my services and, or to formulate an individual nutrition care plan. Information from users is only maintained as needed to fulfill the aforementioned stated purpose.
SECURITY

TRACKING IP ADRESSES
An IP address (Internet Protocol Address) is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are using the Internet. Web servers – the computers that “serve up” Web pages – identify your computer by its IP address. Our website platform collects IP addresses for the purposes of system administration and to report aggregate information on the use of our site. When you request pages from our site, our servers log your IP address. We can and will use IP addresses to identify a user when it is deemed necessary to enforce compliance with our Privacy Policy or to protect our service, site, customers, or others’ privacy from those that might abuse such.
