PRIVACY POLICY | Mental Health

At the World Mental Health Organization (WMHO), protecting your privacy is of the utmost importance. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and protect your personal information when you visit our website or interact with our services. By using our website, you consent to the practices described in this policy.

We collect both personal and non-personal information to provide and improve our services. Personal information is collected when you voluntarily provide it through forms on our website, such as signing up for newsletters, making donations, or contacting us. This may include your name, email address, phone number, and payment information. Non-personal information, such as your IP address, browser type, and usage patterns, is collected through cookies and other tracking technologies to help us analyze website traffic and improve user experience.

Your personal information is used to communicate with you, respond to your inquiries, process donations, and provide updates on our programs and events. We will never sell, rent, or lease your personal information to third parties. However, we may share your information with trusted service providers who assist us with operations, such as website hosting or payment processing, and are contractually obligated to use your data solely for the purposes we specify. In certain circumstances, we may also be required to disclose your information for legal compliance or to protect our rights.

WMHO uses cookies to enhance your experience on our website. Cookies help us recognize repeat visitors, track usage patterns, and personalize your interactions with our website. You can control how cookies are used through your browser settings, though disabling cookies may impact the functionality of certain website features.

We take your data security seriously and use industry-standard measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure. However, no system can guarantee absolute security, and you acknowledge that you use our services at your own risk.

As a user, you have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal information. You can also opt out of receiving marketing communications by clicking the "unsubscribe" link in our emails or contacting us directly. If you wish to exercise any of these rights, or if you have concerns about how your data is being handled, you can reach out to us at the contact information provided below.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13 without parental consent. If we become aware that we have inadvertently gathered information from a child under 13, we will promptly delete it.

For international users, please be aware that WMHO is based in the United States, and your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the U.S. or other countries with different data protection laws than those in your jurisdiction.
