Creatives Care Privacy Policy

Creatives Care Network (referred to herein as "Creatives Care", "we", "us", and "our"), a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, respects the privacy of individuals ("you", "your", and "users") who use our websites and services.  This Privacy Policy (the “Policy”) applies to creativescare.org and   any Creatives Care-operated microsites (collectively the “Websites”), and describes the personal information that Creatives Care collects from the Websites and the ways in which Creatives Care uses such information. Personal information is information that could be used to identify you. By using the Websites, you are deemed to have assented and agreed to the Policy as in effect at the time of your use.

Information Collected

You can browse the content on the Websites without revealing any personal information.

If you are seeking a referral to a health care provider, we may collect demographic information from you, including but not limited to, your name, email address, telephone number and artistic field. We will not ask you for clinical information, such as information about your mental health conditions or treatments, on the Websites. Please do not provide us with any of this information.

For certain online transactions with Creatives Care, including making charitable donations to us, you will be provided with a link to an SSL-secured website, which may be a third party’s website, to process your requests.  The types of personal information that would be collected are disclosed prior to or at the time of the transaction.  We take no responsibility for the security and/or data collection practices of third parties. Please read the privacy policies and data collection practices of any third-party site that processes online transactions on our behalf. 

To enhance your experience with the Websites, non-personal information may be collected through the use of "cookies."  These cookies are files commonly placed in your computer's web browser to store your preferences while using the Websites.  If you do not want information collected through the use of cookies, you may delete, disable, turn off, or reject the cookies by changing your web browser settings.  However, disabling cookies might also disable some features of the Websites in which content can function only in conjunction with the cookies.

Do-Not-Track is a public-private initiative that has developed a “flag” or signal that an Internet user may activate in the user’s browser software to notify websites that the user does not wish to be “tracked” by third-parties as defined by the initiative.  Please note that the Websites do not alter their behavior or use practices if we receive a Do Not Track signal from your browser.

Some anonymous statistical data on the Websites such as usage patterns, visitor interests, technology used, demographics, and geographic information may be logged by third-party tools for the purpose of improving Creatives Care’s services, monitoring the health of our Websites, and enhancing site usability.

We use your personal information to provide services to you, to assess our programs and for our development efforts. 

To respond to your requests and for updates about new content on the Websites and special events organized by Creatives Care, your email address in our database will be used to communicate with you.  Creatives Care may also directly communicate with you via phone.  Information collected from the communication will be stored as long as Creatives Care deems reasonably necessary and practicable for the purpose of enhancing our services, or to otherwise meet legal requirements.
