Your privacy matters. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. We do not sell your personal data to third parties.
The OCD Whisperer Podcast is a media and educational program operated under KOR Results Family Therapy Inc., a California corporation ("Company," "we," "us," or "our"). Kristina Orlova, LMFT is the host and a representative of the Company. The Podcast is a distinct program of the Company and does not constitute clinical or therapeutic services. This Privacy Policy applies to the website located at this domain (the "Site") and describes how we handle information collected through the Site.
This policy does not apply to third-party platforms such as Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube, or Amazon Music, each of which has its own privacy policy governing your use of those services.
Information you provide directly: When you complete the guest inquiry form on this Site, we collect the information you voluntarily submit, which may include your name, email address, professional background, proposed podcast topic, website or social media links, and any additional information you choose to include in your message.
Information collected automatically: Like most websites, our Site may collect certain technical information automatically when you visit, including your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, pages viewed, and the date and time of your visit. This information is typically collected through server logs or analytics tools.
Information you provide through the quiz and newsletter signup: When you take our “What Kind of Ruminator Are You?” quiz or subscribe to our newsletter, we collect the first name and email address you enter, and we store the general result category the quiz generates (for example, a rumination “type”). Your individual answers to the quiz questions are processed within your browser to calculate your result; we receive the resulting category together with your name and email through our email provider, MailerLite.
Information we do not collect: We do not collect clinical records, formal diagnoses, treatment notes, protected health information (PHI), financial account details, government identification numbers, or biometric data through this Site. Although the quiz touches on mental-health-related themes, the general result it produces is for education only and is not a clinical record or assessment.
We use the information collected from this Site for the following purposes:
We add you to our newsletter mailing list only when you opt in — for example, by submitting your name and email through the quiz or a signup form. We do not sell your information, and you can unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time using the link in any email.
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. We may share your information only in the following limited circumstances:
In all other cases, your personal information remains private to The OCD Whisperer Podcast team.
We are aware that visitors to a mental health podcast website may be sharing or disclosing sensitive personal experiences. We treat any personal information you voluntarily share with us with discretion and care.
However, please be aware that this Site is not a secure clinical communication channel. You should not submit detailed clinical information, crisis disclosures, or protected health information through the guest inquiry form or any other contact method on this Site.
If you take our rumination quiz, the answers you select relate to mental-health themes. Those answers are used only to generate a general educational result; we do not use them to diagnose you, and we receive only the resulting general category along with the name and email you choose to provide. Please do not enter detailed clinical information or crisis disclosures through the quiz or any form on this Site.
If you are in crisis, please contact the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline by calling or texting 988, or contact your local emergency services.
The OCD Whisperer Podcast is distributed through third-party platforms including Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube, Amazon Music, iHeart Radio, and Podbean. When you listen to, subscribe to, or interact with the Podcast on these platforms, those platforms collect and process your data in accordance with their own privacy policies, which we encourage you to review.
We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the privacy practices of these third-party platforms.
This Site may use cookies or similar tracking technologies to enhance your experience. Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help us understand how visitors use the Site.
You can control cookie settings through your browser. Most browsers allow you to refuse or delete cookies; however, doing so may affect the functionality of certain features of the Site.
Local browser storage: To improve your experience, this Site saves a small value in your browser’s local storage to remember whether you have already seen or completed the rumination quiz pop-up, so it is not shown to you repeatedly. This value stays on your device, is not used to identify you, and can be cleared at any time through your browser settings.
We may use analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) to understand aggregate usage patterns. These tools may use their own cookies. The data collected is anonymized where possible and is not used to personally identify individual visitors.
We retain guest inquiry information for as long as necessary to evaluate and respond to the inquiry, and for a reasonable period thereafter in case of follow-up. If you request deletion of your information, we will honor that request unless we are legally required to retain certain records.
Automatically collected technical information is generally retained in log files for a limited period consistent with standard web hosting practices.
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of any account credentials you use and for all activities that occur under any account associated with your information.

If you are under 18, we encourage you to use this Site and Podcast only with the involvement and consent of a parent or guardian.
