Our Privacy Commitment
At MentalHealthFirst.me (“Mental Health First”), we strive to write about important health-related issues. We are committed to respecting the privacy rights of our online visitors and recognize the importance of protecting all information that you may choose to share with us. This Online Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”) explains how we collect, store, and use the information you provide us.
This Privacy Policy Covers
This Privacy Policy applies only to personal information collected on the websites where this Privacy Policy is posted, and does not apply to any other information collected by Mental Health First through any other means.
This Privacy Policy applies to use and sharing of personal information collected on and after the date that this Privacy Policy is posted. This Privacy Policy only applies to MentalHealthFirst.me (“Mental Health First”), and not to any affiliates or websites maintained by other companies or organizations to which we link. Mental Health First is therefore not responsible for the content or activities provided on those websites. Finally, the terms of this Privacy Policy are subject to all applicable laws.
Information Collected
Personal information is information that can be used to identify and contact you, such as your name, address, telephone number, or email address. We do not collect any personal information about you unless you choose to provide it to us, such as signing up for our newsletter or filling out a contact form. We do not share, sell, or rent your personal information to third parties and do not require personal information to access our website. However, if you prefer to not disclose personal information, you may not be able to access certain features of our website.

Information You Provide To Us
All of the personal information we receive comes directly from our guests. We collect personal information from our guests who submit general inquiries to Mental Health First.
We will only retain personal information about you for the period necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Policy unless a longer retention period is required by law and/or regulations.
Information Collected Through Technology
We collect information through technology to make our websites more useful to you, such as your IP address. An IP address is often associated with the portal through which you enter the Internet. As an individual piece of information, your IP address is not personally identifiable. We do not collect personally identifiable information about your online activities over time or across third-party websites or online services, nor do we employ third parties that collect such information.
