(“Therapia”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) value our customers, including you (“you” or “your”) and we respect your privacy and personal information which is information about an identifiable individual (as defined by applicable privacy or data protection laws). This privacy policy (this “Policy”) describes the kinds of information we collect, how we use it, and to whom we disclose it in the course of our commercial activities.

If this Policy changes in the future, we will post an updated version on our website at www.therapia.com (the “Website”). We recommend that you check this Website periodically in order to review our current Policy. You can tell if this Policy has changed by checking the effective date that appears at the bottom of this Policy. Depending on the circumstances, we may also decide to send you a notice electronically that the Policy was changed. If you continue to use our Website, software, services, and information (collectively “Services”) after the Policy changed or notice of the change was given, you will be deemed to have accepted such changes.
