It details how we collect, use, and safeguard personal information from users and emphasizes our commitment to data privacy and security.

2. Information We Collect and Classify

The data we collect is categorized into two classifications: Public (data that does not require protection, like general site usage statistics) and Protected (personal data such as your name, email, phone number, affiliation, usernames, passwords, and IP addresses). No highly confidential data is collected.

3. Methods of Data Collection

Personal data is gathered directly from users through various forms or during account creation. We also employ cookies and analytics tools to understand how our sites are used, aiding service improvement.

4. Purpose of Data Collection

Your information is utilized to provide, maintain, and enhance our services related to suicide prevention, education, and intervention. With your consent, we may also use your data for marketing purposes, such as notifying you of relevant events or programs.

5. Data Sharing and Disclosure

Your data is accessible only to CSPCV staff and select partners. When shared with third-party service providers (e.g., for email marketing or web hosting services), it is done with authorization and under data protection agreements to ensure compliance with privacy standards. Your information is never sold.

In the event of a data breach, we will report it to the relevant authorities and notify affected individuals as state law mandates.

8. Data Retention

Protected data is retained for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, unless a longer retention period is required by law.
