At Still Me Rising, your privacy matters. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our website, participate in our programs, or contact us.

1. Information We Collect

We may collect the following personal information when you:

• Complete forms (client intake, volunteer interest, session feedback)

• Sign up for programs or events

• Email or message us directly

• Subscribe to updates or join a session

This may include:

• Name (we do not require or store full legal names for program participation)

• Email address

• Phone number

• General background or needs (if voluntarily shared)

• Feedback from sessions or surveys

We do not knowingly collect sensitive health information, financial data, or other identifying data beyond what you voluntarily provide.

If you make a donation, your payment information is processed securely by our third-party providers (e.g., PayPal, Stripe) and is not stored on our systems.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use this information to:

• Register and contact participants and volunteers

• Deliver relevant programs or reminders

• Improve our services through feedback

• Send updates or community news (with your permission)

We do not sell, rent, or trade your information with third parties.

3. AI-Generated Content

Some content — including meditations, poetry, or educational materials — may be created with the assistance of AI tools. These materials are provided for personal use, inspiration, and education, and do not replace professional medical, mental health, or legal advice.

4. Your Privacy Choices

You can:

• Request to review, correct, or delete your information at any time

• Opt out of emails or updates by clicking “unsubscribe” or contacting us at info@stillmerising.org

• Choose not to share any information (though some features may be limited)

State-Specific Rights:
Residents of certain U.S. states (including NJ, DE, OR, and MN) may have additional privacy rights under applicable state laws. These rights may include access, correction, deletion of personal data, and the ability to opt out of certain data uses. To exercise these rights, please contact us at info@stillmerising.org.

5. Security and Retention

We take reasonable steps to protect the information you share with us. Our systems use trusted platforms (such as Google Forms, Wix, and Gmail) with built-in security features.

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, unless a longer retention period is required by law. When information is no longer needed, we will securely delete it.

6. Children’s Privacy

Our services are intended for individuals age 18 and older. Participants under 18 should not join without direct supervision and permission from a parent or guardian.

In compliance with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), we do not knowingly collect data from children under 13. If we become aware that we have inadvertently received personal data from a minor, we will delete it promptly.

7. Third-Party Platforms

Our website may contain links to or use third-party platforms (e.g., Google Meet, YouTube, partner sites). Still Me Rising is not responsible for the performance, availability, privacy, or security practices of these external platforms.

8. International Visitors

If you are accessing this site from outside the United States, please note that your information may be transferred to and stored in the U.S. By using our services, you consent to this transfer.
