By providing us with your Data and using our Service you consent to any such transfer of Data outside of your country of origin, at PSYBooks’ sole discretion.
2.

PSYBooks, in its sole discretion, reserves the right to disclose any information that it obtains through our Service to appropriate governmental or regulatory authorities or governmental agencies, if required by law. PSYBooks, in its sole discretion, may share any information collected, stored and processed, if it has a good faith belief that to do so is reasonably necessary to:
  1. enforce our Terms of Use;

Examples of such Providers may include, but are not limited to, data storage and web hosting companies, as well as consultants we may engage for various reasons. PSYBooks requires Providers to use and protect your personal information consistent with the provisions of this Policy. PHI will only be shared with business partners with whom PSYBooks has a Business Associate Agreement, as required by applicable law.
Security of Information
1. Any information sent by you to PSYBooks through Internet email or through our Service may not be secure and is therefore done on a non-confidential basis and at your own risk. Once such information is received, PSYBooks takes appropriate security safeguards to prevent its unauthorized use, alteration, disclosure or destruction. These safeguards include periodic review of our internal processes, and benchmarking of same with industry best practices.
2. Access to PII or PHI is restricted to PSYBooks employees, contractors, and agents on a need to know basis. Such individuals are generally bound by confidentiality agreements and may be subject to termination and criminal prosecution should they fail to comply as required by said agreements and/or with the contents of this Policy.
Data integrity
1. PSYBooks processes PII only for the purposes for which it was collected and in accordance with the provisions in this Policy. Reasonable steps are taken to ensure the quality of the PII that PSYBooks collects, processes, and stores. PSYBooks depends on its users to keep their PII current and accurate. PSYBooks conducts periodic reviews to ensure that only the PII required by our Service is captured and used consistent with the provisions of this Policy. The maintenance of data integrity is a joint collaborative effort between PSYBooks and our users.
2. PSYBooks may delete Data, from time to time, upon the request of an individual user. PSYBooks requires that a user present proper credentials for authentication before honoring all such requests. Good faith attempts are made to work with individual users regarding Data related issues. PSYBooks reserves the right to refuse such requests when they prove unduly burdensome and/or are impractical. PSYBooks will not delete Data required to be kept by applicable law or Data otherwise required by PSYBooks for legitimate business reasons.
Choices Regarding PII
1. Should PSYBooks decide to use PII or PHI other than for the purpose originally collected, PSYBooks will do so only with your consent. You will be given the opportunity to opt out of any such use. Should PSYBooks become involved in a sale, acquisition, or any form of transfer of some or all of its assets, then PSYBooks will provide notice to you before your PII or PHI is subject to a new or different privacy policy.
2. You always have the option of contacting PSYBooks should you have questions regarding your PII or PHI. Please contact PSYBooks using the contact information provided above.

PSYBooks users are encouraged to pay attention when they leave our Service and to read the respective privacy policies of each website that collects personally identifiable information. This Policy only applies to information provided by you to PSYBooks via our Service or through other mechanisms.
Enforcement
Because we are committed to protecting our users’ PII and PHI, PSYBooks conducts periodic reviews of our internal processes to ensure that we remain in compliance with this Policy.

By providing us with your Data and using our Service you consent to any such transfer of Data outside of your country of origin, at PSYBooks’ sole discretion.
