Privacy Policy

Who we are

BeingThePT is a clinical-education brand published by PT Playbooks, based in Anaheim, California. This policy explains what information we collect through beingthept.com, how we use it, and the choices you have. Questions can go to drky@beingthept.com.

What we collect

• Email address, when you subscribe to a free download, the newsletter, or the welcome series.
• Name, organization, role, and message, when you submit an inquiry on our For DPT Programs or For Clinics pages.
• Usage data, such as pages visited, device and browser type, and general location, collected through analytics tools described below.

We do not ask for or store payment card details. Purchases are handled by our payment providers (see Payments).

How we use your information

• To deliver the free resources you request.
• To send the newsletter and the welcome series, which you can leave at any time.
• To respond to institutional and clinic inquiries.
• To understand how the site is used and improve it.

Email and Mailchimp

We use Mailchimp to manage our email list and send messages. When you subscribe, your email address is stored with Mailchimp on our behalf. Every email includes an unsubscribe link, and unsubscribing removes you from future sends. Mailchimp processes this data under its own privacy terms.

Inquiry forms

When you submit an inquiry, the details are emailed to us through our transactional email provider (Resend) so we can reply, and may also be recorded in Mailchimp so we can follow up. We use this information only to respond to and manage your inquiry.

Analytics and cookies

We use Google Analytics 4 to measure traffic and how visitors move through the site. It sets cookies and collects usage data such as pages viewed and approximate location. We also use Microsoft Clarity for aggregate heatmaps and session analytics to see where the site can be improved; it is configured to avoid capturing sensitive input.

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Doing so does not affect your ability to read the site or use the forms.

Payments

The digital Playbook is sold through Payhip, and print editions through Amazon. When you buy, that provider processes your payment and handles delivery under its own privacy and terms. We receive order confirmation details, not your full payment information.

How we share information

We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with the service providers that operate the site on our behalf, namely Mailchimp (email), Resend (inquiry notifications), Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity (analytics), and Payhip or Amazon (purchases), and only as needed to provide those services. We may also disclose information if required by law.

Your choices and rights

• Unsubscribe from any email using the link in that email.
• Request a copy of, correction to, or deletion of your personal information by emailing drky@beingthept.com.

Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under laws such as the GDPR or the CCPA. We honor those requests where they apply.

Data retention

We keep subscriber and inquiry information for as long as it is needed to provide our services or until you ask us to delete it. Analytics data is retained according to the providers' standard settings.

Children

BeingThePT is a professional resource for clinicians and students. The site is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 16.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the site evolves. When we do, we will revise the date at the top of this page.
