2. Data Collection and Use
OnlineDoctorate.org itself does not collect or store personally identifiable information from users for its own purposes. However, we use Google Ads to display advertisements on our website. Through Google Ads, certain non-personally identifiable information may be collected by Google to provide personalized advertising. This may include:
-
Device and browsing information: Such as your IP address, browser type, and general location data (e.g., city or region).
-
Cookies and similar technologies: Google Ads may use cookies or other tracking technologies to serve relevant ads based on your interests and browsing behavior.
This data is collected and processed by Google in accordance with its Privacy Policy. We do not have access to or control over the data collected by Google for advertising purposes.
You can manage your ad preferences or opt out of personalized ads through Google’s Ads Settings or by using tools like the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page.
3. Third-Party Links
OnlineDoctorate.org contains third-party links, including advertisements served through Google Ads. When you click on a third-party link or ad, you will leave our website and access content over which we have no control. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of third-party websites, including those linked through advertisements.
4. Security Measures
OnlineDoctorate.org maintains security measures to protect our website and its users. However, while we strive to ensure the security of our website, we cannot guarantee that these measures will prevent all unauthorized access.

6. User Rights under GDPR and Other Privacy Laws
If you are located in the European Union or another jurisdiction with applicable privacy laws (e.g., GDPR, CCPA), you may have rights regarding your personal data, such as the right to access, rectify, erase, or restrict processing. Since OnlineDoctorate.org does not directly collect or store personal data, these rights may not apply to our operations. However, for data collected by Google Ads, you can exercise your rights directly through Google’s Privacy Policy or by contacting Google.
For California residents under the CCPA, you have the right to opt out of the sale of your personal information. As we do not sell personal information, this right is not applicable to our website, but you can manage ad-related data through Google’s settings as described in Section 2.
