Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 7, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Jonathan Stein (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and protects your information when you visit jonathanstein.org (the “Site”).
Information We Collect
1. Information You Choose to Give Us
You may provide personal information directly when you:
    • Use a contact or consultation request form
    • Sign up for our newsletter or updates
    • Request information about coaching services

This information may include your name, email address, phone number, physical location, and any personal descriptions you choose to include in your message regarding what is feeling stuck or difficult in your life.
2. Basic Technical Information
Like most websites, the Site automatically receives limited technical data sent by your browser, such as:
    • IP address and general location at a city or region level
    • Browser type and device type
    • Pages visited and time spent on pages

This helps us understand how the Site is used and improve content and usability.
Cookies
The Site may use simple cookies or similar technologies to remember basic preferences, support core site functionality, and understand overall traffic patterns in a general, non-personal way. You can control cookies through your browser settings. If you disable cookies, some features may not work as intended, but you can still access the Site.
How We Use Information
We use the information we collect to:
    • Respond to inquiries or messages you send
    • Schedule free initial consultation calls
    • Provide transformational coaching services
    • Send email updates or newsletters if you have opted in
    • Maintain, protect, and improve the Site
    • Comply with legal and professional record-keeping obligations

We do not use your information to build detailed behavioral advertising profiles or for automated decision-making.
How We Share Information
We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with trusted third parties that help us operate the Site or deliver email communication, such as website hosting providers, security tools, and email service engines used to send newsletters. They are allowed to use information only to perform services for us and are expected to keep it strictly confidential.
We may also share information if required by law, to respond to a valid legal process, or to protect our rights, safety, or property, or that of others.
Third-Party Links & Platforms
The Site contains links to external platforms (such as Psychology Today and LinkedIn). Those sites have their own privacy policies, and we are not responsible for their content or data collection practices.
Data Security & Sensitive Intake Notes
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical measures to help protect the information we collect, especially the sensitive details you share when requesting a consultation. However, no website or internet transmission is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
We do not collect, process, or store credit card numbers or banking data on this Site. All payments for coaching services are handled off-site through separate, secure payment processing systems or specific invoice arrangements.
Data Retention
We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes described above, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. For example, we retain communication records for our internal business logs and legal obligations in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
Multi-State Consumer Privacy Rights
Because we serve clients across state lines, we respect your rights regarding your data under state privacy laws (including the California Consumer Privacy Act/CPRA and similar state frameworks). Depending on where you reside, you have the right to:
    • Request Access to the personal information we hold about you.
    • Request Correction of inaccurate personal information.
    • Request Deletion of your personal information from our active contact lists.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details below. We do not discriminate or charge fees for processing these standard requests.
Children’s Privacy
The Site is intended strictly for adults. It is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have accidentally collected such information, please contact us so we can remove it immediately.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes take effect immediately when they are posted on this page.
