2. Contact Forms
When you submit a contact or inquiry form through the Website, we may collect your name, email address, telephone number, and any other information you choose to provide.
We use this information to respond to your inquiry, provide requested information, communicate with you regarding our services, and maintain appropriate records of communications.
Submitting a general contact form does not automatically subscribe you to marketing or newsletter communications unless you separately request or consent to receive them.
Please do not use a general Website contact form for emergency communications or as a substitute for appropriate medical or mental-health care.
3. Newsletter and Email Communications
If you voluntarily subscribe to our newsletter, educational updates, or other email communications, we may collect information such as your name, email address, subscription preferences, and information associated with your subscription.
We use this information to provide the communications you requested and to administer our mailing list.

Payment Information
Payments may be processed by third-party payment processors. Depending upon the payment method used, payment information such as your credit or debit card details may be submitted directly to the applicable payment processor rather than stored by Berent Associates.
The collection, processing, and retention of payment information by a payment processor is subject to that provider’s privacy policy and terms.
5. Information Collected Automatically
When you visit or interact with the Website, certain information may be collected automatically through cookies, tags, pixels, server logs, and similar technologies.

6. Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager
We use Google Analytics 4 (“GA4”) and Google Tag Manager (“GTM”) to help us understand how visitors interact with the Website, measure Website performance, evaluate content, troubleshoot Website functionality, and measure certain conversions.
Google Analytics may use first-party cookies and other identifiers to distinguish visitors and sessions and report Website interactions. Google explains that Analytics primarily uses first-party cookies to report visitor interactions.
Our analytics implementation may measure activities including:

The analytics configuration also measures video interactions, including video start, pause, viewing progress, and completion, and may process information such as the video’s title, URL, duration, viewing percentage, current playback time, and provider.
You can learn more about Google’s handling of information collected through Google Analytics through Google’s information about safeguarding Analytics data.
7. Google Ads and Advertising Measurement
We use or may use Google Ads and related Google measurement technologies to evaluate advertising performance and determine whether advertisements result in Website visits, inquiries, newsletter subscriptions, purchases, or other actions.
Our Google Analytics property is configured for integration with Google Ads. The Website’s analytics configuration indicates that Google Analytics and Google Ads are linked for advertising-performance and user-behavior analysis.
The current configuration also identifies Google Ads conversion actions associated with order completion, newsletter signup, and contact-form submission.
Depending on the Website’s configuration, your consent choices, and applicable law, Google and the Website may use first-party identifiers and Google advertising cookies or identifiers to provide measurement or advertising functionality.
Google requires websites using Analytics Advertising Features to disclose the advertising features being used, the use of first- and third-party identifiers, and available opt-out mechanisms.
You can manage certain Google advertising preferences through Google’s advertising controls and can learn more through Google’s privacy and Analytics information.
8. Cookies and Similar Technologies
Cookies are small data files stored on your device or browser. We and our service providers may use cookies and similar technologies to operate the Website, remember preferences, provide ecommerce functionality, understand Website usage, and measure advertising performance.
Cookies and similar technologies used on the Website may fall into the following categories:
Necessary/Functional Cookies: These support essential Website functions such as security, shopping-cart and checkout functionality, account functionality, consent preferences, and other features necessary for the Website to operate.
Preference Cookies: These may remember choices you make when interacting with the Website.
Statistics/Analytics Cookies: These help us understand how visitors use the Website and measure Website and content performance. These may include technologies associated with Google Analytics.
Marketing/Advertising Cookies: Where applicable, these technologies may be used for advertising measurement and other advertising-related purposes.
Where consent is required, our Website provides controls for accepting, rejecting, or managing applicable non-essential cookies and tracking technologies.
The behavior of certain Google technologies following a user’s consent choice depends upon the Website’s implementation of Google Consent Mode. Google explains that under Basic Consent Mode, Google tags can be prevented from loading until consent is obtained. Under Advanced Consent Mode, Google tags may send limited cookieless signals when consent is denied.
For more detailed information about the cookies used on Social-Anxiety.com and your cookie choices, please see our Cookie Policy.
9. Cookie Preferences and Consent
Where our Website provides cookie preference controls, you may use those controls to accept, reject, or manage categories of non-essential cookies.
You may change or withdraw your cookie preferences using the cookie preference controls available on the Website.
Google Consent Mode allows websites to communicate a visitor’s consent selections to Google so that Google tags can adjust their behavior based on those choices.
You may also configure your browser to delete existing cookies, reject certain cookies, or notify you when cookies are placed. Blocking necessary cookies may prevent certain Website features, including shopping-cart, checkout, account, or preference functionality, from working correctly.

11. Health-Related and Sensitive Information
Social-Anxiety.com contains information and resources concerning social anxiety, public speaking anxiety, mental health, and related subjects. As a result, a visitor’s use of particular pages, searches, videos, podcasts, articles, or other Website resources may potentially reveal an interest in health-related topics.
We do not intend to use information concerning a known individual’s health condition for personalized or interest-based advertising.
Google’s policies place additional restrictions on interest-based advertising involving sensitive information and prohibit using Analytics Advertising Features to collect sensitive information for interest-based advertising.
Visitors should not provide medical records, diagnoses, treatment histories, medication information, or other sensitive medical information through general Website contact forms, newsletter forms, ecommerce features, or other non-secure Website functionality unless specifically requested through an appropriate method.
Information provided through Social-Anxiety.com is not a substitute for professional medical or mental-health advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
Unless expressly stated otherwise, ordinary communications through this Website, email, contact forms, ecommerce features, or newsletter forms should not be considered communications through a HIPAA-secure patient portal.
12. How We Share Information
Berent Associates does not sell customer lists or personal information to third parties for monetary consideration.
We may disclose or make information available to third-party service providers that perform functions on our behalf or support the Website and our business operations. Depending upon the services in use, these providers may include:
- Website hosting and infrastructure providers
- Ecommerce providers
- Payment processors
- Email and newsletter providers
- Analytics providers
- Advertising and advertising-measurement providers
- Website security and fraud-prevention providers
- Other technology and professional service providers
These providers may process information as necessary to provide their services and are subject to their own contractual, legal, and privacy obligations.
We may also disclose information when reasonably necessary to comply with applicable law, legal process, subpoenas, court orders, or governmental requests; protect our legal rights or the rights and safety of others; detect or investigate fraud or security incidents; enforce our agreements or policies; or facilitate a merger, acquisition, financing, restructuring, sale, or transfer of some or all of our business or assets.
13. Sale, Sharing, and Targeted Advertising
Berent Associates does not sell personal information to third parties for monetary consideration.
However, certain disclosures of information to analytics, advertising, or other technology providers may be considered a “sale,” “sharing,” “targeted advertising,” or “cross-context behavioral advertising” under certain state privacy laws, even where no money is exchanged.
Where required by applicable law, you may have the right to opt out of such processing.
You may use the privacy or cookie controls provided on our Website to exercise applicable choices regarding advertising or tracking technologies.
14. Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to accomplish the purposes for which it was collected and to satisfy legitimate business, accounting, tax, security, contractual, and legal requirements.
Different categories of information may therefore be retained for different periods.
For example, order and transaction information may need to be retained for accounting, tax, fraud-prevention, and legal purposes even after an order has been completed.
The Google Analytics configuration documented for Social-Anxiety.com currently specifies a 14-month retention period for applicable user-level Analytics data.
15. Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, organizational, and technical safeguards intended to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.
However, no method of transmission over the Internet, electronic communication, database, or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Accordingly, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of information transmitted to or through the Website.
16. Your Privacy Rights and Choices
Depending upon your state or country of residence and applicable law, you may have certain rights concerning your personal information.
These rights may include the right to request:
- Access to personal information we maintain about you

- Restriction of or objection to certain processing

We will not discriminate against you for exercising privacy rights granted by applicable law.
You may also unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time using the unsubscribe instructions provided in our communications.
Cookie and tracking preferences may be managed using the privacy or cookie controls provided on the Website.
17. Google Analytics and Advertising Choices
Google provides controls that allow users to manage certain information used for advertising and Analytics.
Google Analytics also supports an optional browser add-on that can prevent Google Analytics measurement on websites using supported browsers.
You may learn about Google’s available privacy controls through Google Analytics Privacy Controls.
You may also control cookies through your browser. Please be aware that disabling certain cookies can affect Website functionality.
18. Do Not Track and Other Browser-Based Privacy Signals
Some browsers provide “Do Not Track” or other privacy signals. Because there is not a single universally accepted standard governing all such signals, the Website’s response may depend upon the particular signal, technology, applicable law, and privacy tools implemented on the Website.
Where applicable law requires recognition of a particular opt-out preference signal and our Website is configured to receive that signal, we will process it as required by applicable law.
You may also use the cookie and privacy controls available directly on the Website.
19. Third-Party Websites, Embedded Content, and Services
Social-Anxiety.com may contain links to or embedded content from third-party websites and services, including social-media platforms, video or audio providers, payment services, and other websites.
Interacting with third-party content or leaving Social-Anxiety.com to visit another website may allow that third party to collect information according to its own privacy practices.
Berent Associates does not control and is not responsible for the privacy, security, content, or data-handling practices of third-party websites or services. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing personal information.
20. Children's Privacy
Social-Anxiety.com is not intended to knowingly collect personal information online directly from children under the age of 13 without appropriate parental or legal guardian consent.
If you are a parent or legal guardian and believe that a child under 13 has provided personal information to us without appropriate consent, please contact us so that we can review the situation and take appropriate action.

If you access the Website from outside the United States, information collected through the Website may be transferred to, processed, or stored in the United States or other countries where our service providers operate.
