This policy explains what information is collected when you use drshimikang.com, why it is collected, and how it is handled. It applies to this website only. Programs delivered through Future Ready Minds and clinical services are covered by their own separate policies and consent forms.
This website is operated by Dr. Shimi Kang, based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. For any privacy question or request, write to contact@drshimikang.com.
Two forms on this site collect personal information, and both are optional:
Form submissions are stored by our website host, Webflow, and are visible to Dr. Kang and authorized team members. Your information is never sold, rented, or traded.
Like most websites, this site collects limited technical information automatically:
Cookies and similar technologies are small files placed on your device. This site uses them for basic functionality and for the analytics and measurement described above. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings at any time. Blocking them will not prevent you from reading any page on this site, though some conveniences may stop working.
Some services on this site are provided by third parties who process data under their own privacy policies, including Webflow (hosting and forms), Google (analytics and fonts), LinkedIn (measurement), Cloudflare (spam protection), and YouTube when an embedded video is played. Links to external sites such as Amazon, news outlets, podcast platforms, and futurereadyminds.com are provided for convenience, and those sites are governed by their own policies.
Inquiry messages are kept as long as needed to respond and to maintain a record of the conversation. Newsletter subscriptions are kept until you unsubscribe. You may ask for your information to be deleted sooner.
You may ask what personal information is held about you, ask for it to be corrected, ask for it to be deleted, or withdraw consent for future contact. Requests go to contact@drshimikang.com and are answered within a reasonable period, ordinarily no later than 30 days. Depending on where you live, additional rights may apply under Canadian privacy law, the GDPR, or similar legislation.
Although this site publishes material about young people, it is written for adults and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has submitted information through this site, contact us and it will be deleted.
Articles, videos, and other material on this site are educational and do not constitute medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, and reading them does not create a physician and patient relationship. For personal medical concerns, speak with a qualified health professional. If you are in crisis, contact your local emergency number or a crisis line in your area.
This policy may be updated as the site or the services behind it change. The date at the top of the page shows when it was last revised.
