Cognitive Therapeutic Programs will notify customers by email of changes to this policy that will affect information collected from them in the future. In certain circumstances, however, Cognitive Therapeutic Programs will not inform and obtain the consent of the customer, such as in connection with an investigation of a breach of an agreement, contravention of laws, an emergency where the life, health or security of an individual is threatened, the collection of a debt or in compliance with the request of a law enforcement agency or a court order.
