If you choose to interact with AllAboutDepression.com, you have our pledge to protect your privacy as best as we are able.

Users of AllAboutDepression.com should not attempt to use this site to communicate an emergency situation. This site is not designed to handle emergency situations, and no representatives or associates of AllAboutDepression.com are prepared to manage emergency situations that may be communicated through the use of this site.

The Information We Gather
We gather only general traffic patterns and site usage statistics to help us develop the design and layout of the site. We do not track individual users, we do not seek to obtain any personal information without your knowledge, and we do not use "cookies" or any other devices to collect personal information.

How We Use the Information

In these cases, we provide information necessary to fulfill your order, such as the items ordered, your name, and your shipping address. We ask these partners to adhere to AllAboutDepression.com's confidentiality standards and do not permit them to use our user information for any other purposes.

Except as explained in this policy, AllAboutDepression.com will not share your personal information with any third party without first receiving your permission, unless we believe in good faith that the law or professional or ethical duty requires it.
