Terms of Use

Acceptance of Terms

By accessing and using this website, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, please do not use this website.

Nature of Services

This website is operated by Dr. Irem Gunay. The work offered through it is consulting, delivered through one-on-one engagements and through programs available in free and paid formats. It does not constitute psychiatric treatment, medical advice, or any form of regulated clinical service: no diagnosis is made and no condition is treated in the course of the work.

A consulting relationship begins only when both parties have agreed to work together and the engagement has formally commenced. Use of this website, including access to free video content or program materials, does not establish a consulting relationship.

The work involves sustained self-examination, which can be demanding. Each person remains responsible for judging whether, when, and to what depth to engage with it.

If you are experiencing a mental health crisis or require urgent support, please contact a qualified healthcare professional or emergency services in your country of residence.

Intellectual Property

All content on this website, including but not limited to written copy, frameworks, video content, program materials, and structural concepts, is the intellectual property of Dr. Irem Gunay unless otherwise stated.

Content from this website may not be reproduced, distributed, adapted, or used for commercial purposes without prior written permission. Links to this website may be shared freely, and content from the public pages of this website may be referenced for personal, non-commercial use, provided appropriate attribution is given.

Materials made available through purchase or registration, including digital or printed workbooks, video sessions, and other program materials, are provided under a personal, non-transferable license for individual use only. Purchase or access does not transfer ownership of the materials or any intellectual property rights in them. Such materials may not be reproduced, shared, distributed, resold, published, translated, or made available to any third party, in whole or in part, in any form, without prior written permission.

Every effort is made to ensure the accuracy and quality of the content on this website. However, no warranty is given that the website will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free from viruses or other harmful components.

The content on this website is provided for informational purposes only. No liability is accepted for any decisions made or actions taken in reliance on website content. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no liability is accepted for any indirect or consequential loss or damage arising from use of, or inability to use, this website or its content.

Third-Party Links

This website may contain links to third-party websites. These are provided for convenience only. No control is exercised over and no responsibility is accepted for the content, privacy practices, or terms of third-party sites.

Changes to These Terms

These Terms of Use may be updated at any time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date. Continued use of the website following any changes constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.

Data Security

How Data Is Protected

The security of personal data is taken seriously. This website operates with industry-standard security measures to protect data in transit and at rest. Access to personal data submitted through this website is restricted to Dr. Irem Gunay.

Confidentiality

Everything discussed in an initial consultation and throughout the working relationship is held in strict confidence. Confidentiality is a foundational commitment of this practice. Information shared in the context of the work will not be disclosed to any third party without explicit consent, except where required by law.

Data Breaches

In the event of a personal data breach that poses a risk to the rights and freedoms of individuals, immediate steps will be taken to contain the breach, assess its impact, and notify affected individuals and relevant authorities as required by applicable law.
