The short version
We collect only the information needed to operate, protect and understand use of the site or respond when you contact us. We do not sell personal information, run user accounts or use advertising cookies on this website.
01
Scope and responsibility
This Privacy Policy applies to forensicpsychology.pro and the pages published under that domain. “Forensic Psychology,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to the team responsible for this independent educational website.
The site provides general educational information about forensic psychology, careers, education and related professional topics. It is not a patient portal, clinical service or legal service. Please do not send medical records, legal case files, identification documents or other sensitive case material by email.
02
Information we may receive
Information you choose to provide
If you email us, we receive the email address you use and the information included in your message. We use it to read, answer and manage the correspondence.
Newsletter subscriptions
If you subscribe, Brevo processes your email address, subscription records, and technical information needed to deliver emails and prevent abuse. Submitting the newsletter form subscribes you to our welcome email and new-article updates without a separate email-verification step. You can unsubscribe using the link in an email or contact us to withdraw consent. We retain necessary opt-out records to avoid sending unwanted emails.
Our newsletter invitation stores a dismissal time or your “already subscribed” preference in this browser and a session flag to avoid repeated prompts. It does not store your email address locally or identify you across devices. Newsletter signup fields are masked in Microsoft Clarity. See Brevo's privacy policy for its processing practices.
Site search, automated guide and job checker
Site search matches your query against a downloaded index in your browser. A search query may appear in the page URL and browser history; avoid using names or private case details.
The automated guide sends the question you submit to our website's /api/chat/ service, hosted on Vercel, to find relevant articles. The current service matches words against our published material and does not send the question to an external generative-AI provider. The request still passes through hosting infrastructure, which may process request and security logs. Do not submit medical, legal or identifying information.
The job checker calculates matches in your browser without an account. Its page records usage events and broad selected categories in an in-page data layer. Analytics and session-replay choices still apply to the page. These tools are not a confidential channel for professional advice. Copying or printing a report puts a copy in the destination you choose.
Technical information
When you visit the site, our hosting provider may process technical request information needed to deliver and secure the website. This can include:
- Internet Protocol address and approximate location derived from it
- Browser, device and operating system information
- Requested page, referring page, date and time of the request
- Network, performance, error and security information
This technical information is generated as part of normal web delivery. We do not use it to diagnose a person, assess their psychology or build a behavioral profile.
03
How we use information
We use information only where reasonably necessary to:
- Deliver pages and maintain the website
- Protect the site from abuse, fraud and security threats
- Investigate technical errors and improve reliability
- Respond to questions, corrections or other messages you send
- Comply with legal obligations and protect legal rights
Where privacy law requires a legal basis, that basis may be our legitimate interest in running a secure educational website, your consent when you voluntarily contact us, or compliance with a legal obligation. The basis that applies can depend on your location and the context.
06
Retention and security
We keep personal information only as long as reasonably needed for the purpose described in this policy, to maintain necessary records, resolve disputes or meet legal obligations. Hosting and security logs follow the retention settings and operational requirements of the systems that generate them.
We use reasonable administrative and technical measures intended to protect information. No internet transmission, email account or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure, so please avoid sending sensitive personal, legal or clinical information.
07
Your privacy choices and rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to ask for access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, portability or withdrawal of consent. Some rights have exceptions, and we may need enough information to verify your request.
To make a privacy request, email us with the subject line “Privacy request.” We will respond according to the law that applies. If local law gives you the right to complain to a data protection authority, you may also contact the authority in your country or region.

Children and external websites
This website is written for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly ask children to provide personal information. A parent or guardian who believes a child has sent us personal information may contact us to request its deletion.
Our pages may link to universities, professional organizations, government resources, publishers or other websites. Those services control their own privacy practices. Review their policies before providing information to them.
09
Changes to this policy and contact
We may revise this policy when the website, our service providers or applicable requirements change. The updated version will appear on this page with a new effective date. Material changes may also be highlighted on the site when appropriate.
