We will handle the combined information as described in this privacy policy to help us provide services and information to you.We may monitor and/or record telephone conversations for our business purposes, such as quality assurance and training purposes, and to protect our rights.
Will We Disclose Your Information to Third Parties?
We do not sell or trade your information to external parties except as outlined in this agreement. We may disclose the information we collect to third parties, including to our affiliates and business partners, who assist us in operating our Websites, conducting our business, or servicing you, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential. We may also release your information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law, respond to legal processes (such as a search warrant, subpoena or court order), enforce our Websites’ policies, or protect our or others’ rights, property, or safety.
Non-personally identifiable information from visitors (such as unique device identifiers) may be shared with third parties for marketing, advertising, or other purposes. With your explicit consent, we may disclose your personal information for additional purposes not outlined above.

Ways We Use Your Information
We do not collect any Personally Identifiable Information (“PII”) from you on the Website unless you voluntarily choose to disclose such information. In order to take advantage of certain services and features on the Website, you must provide certain PII and Anonymous Information. If you submit PII to us through the Website, then We may use your PII to provide services to you, improve our services, identify and authenticate your access to the Website and its services, or connect you to a Provider.
In addition, We use Anonymous Information in aggregate form to build higher quality, more useful services, such as performing statistical analyses of the collective characteristics and behavior of our users to personalize your experience on the Website. We may provide PII and Anonymous Information to our subsidiaries, affiliated companies, Providers or other unaffiliated businesses or persons, such as vendors and contractors, for the purpose of providing services or processing information on our behalf.
We may use Personal Information or share Anonymous Information with advertisers so that We are able to place advertisements that are more relevant to individual users. (See our Addiction Center Disclaimer for additional information about advertisers.) We require that these parties agree to process such information in compliance with our Privacy Policy, and We use reasonable efforts to limit their use of such information and to use other appropriate confidentiality and security measures.
We may use your email address to:
- Send you notifications and information that are related to your use of the Website;
- Answer your questions about the Website;
- Fulfill a legal or regulatory disclosure requirement.
We may share your data and/or content if We believe that disclosure is reasonably necessary to comply with a law, regulation, valid legal process (e.g., subpoenas or warrants served on us), or governmental or regulatory request, to enforce or apply the Terms of Service, to protect the security or integrity of the Website, and/or to protect the rights, property, or safety of the general population, the Owner, its employees, users, or others.
We also may disclose or transfer your data or content in connection with the sale, merger, bankruptcy, sale of assets or reorganization of our company (a “Reorganization”). In case of a Reorganization, it is possible that a new or different privacy policy or terms of use may apply to your data or use of the Website. The Owner is not attempting to provide any type of health advice or analysis to users. The Website simply presents users with information regarding substance abuse and treatment centers as well as tools to connect to such treatment centers. Users should not interpret the Website’s display of this data as any type of assessment from it. The Owner is not responsible for any assessment or decision users make based on the data presented on the Website or the services of any Provider.
Security
We prioritize the privacy and security of user data. We maintain physical, electronic, and procedural security measures that are designed to control and protect your data from unauthorized access. We follow established industry standards for privacy protection. In addition, We use encryption and a protocol for transmitting private information via the Internet. Unfortunately, no maintenance of data or transmission over a public network such as the Internet can be guaranteed to be secure. Therefore, while We follow accepted industry standards and implement reasonable security practices to protect PII, We cannot guarantee its absolute security.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
We may use cookies to enable the site’s or service providers’ systems to recognize your browser and capture and remember certain information. We use cookies and similar technologies to understand and save your preferences for future visits and compile aggregate data about Site usage and interaction so that we can offer better experiences and tools in the future.
We may contract with third-party service providers that use these technologies to assist us in better understanding our Sites’ visitors. They may collect information about your online activities over time, on other devices, and on other websites or apps, if those websites and apps also use the same service provider. We use Google Analytics, which uses cookies and similar technologies to collect and analyze information about use of the Website and report on activities and trends. This service may also collect information regarding the use of other websites, apps and online resources.
You can learn about Google’s practices by going to https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/, and opt out of them by downloading the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on, available at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

When you contact the Owner for support, we may gather your name, email address, and any other information you provide to assist you and improve the Website’s functionality.
