Getting My Cheese Back On My Cracker Foundation, Inc. (“Foundation,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect through cheeseonmycracker.com and related website forms, how we use and share it, and the choices available to you.
Our website supports mental health advocacy, education, community dialogue, and access to information. The Foundation is not a healthcare provider and does not provide clinical care. Please do not send us diagnoses, medical records, or other sensitive health information through website forms.
1. Information We Collect
The information we collect depends on how you use the website and which forms or features you choose to use.
Information you provide
You may provide information when you:
- Create or use a website account, if account features are available.
- Register for an event. This may include your name, email address, phone number, registration details, and any accessibility information you choose to provide.
- Submit a request to join one of our communities. This may include your name, email address, phone number, and the information you choose to include in a message.
- Contact us through a contact form or email.
- Sign up for a newsletter or other communications.
- Submit a business or provider listing, or request a change to a listing. This may include a business or provider name, category, description, location, address, phone number, email address, website, or professional information you choose to submit.
- Make a donation through Zeffy.
When you submit information through a community or provider form, our team receives it by email and may save it in our Notion workspace (when that connection is configured) so we can review and respond to your request.
Please provide only information needed for your request. Do not include sensitive personal or health information in an open text field.
Information collected automatically
When you visit the website, our hosting and security systems may collect technical information such as your Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser and device type, pages visited, timestamps, and security or diagnostic logs. We use this information to operate, protect, and troubleshoot the website.
Information from third parties
Some website features are provided by third parties. For example, donations may be processed through Zeffy, community and provider submissions may be stored in Notion when that connection is configured, and pages may display Instagram content. These services may provide us with information needed to operate the relevant feature or complete a transaction. Their collection and use of information are also subject to their own privacy terms.
2. How We Use Information
We may use information to:
- Respond to questions, contact requests, and community-join requests.
- Manage event registration and communicate event-related information.
- Send newsletters or other communications when you have signed up for them.
- Review and manage business or provider directory submissions, including requests to correct or remove a listing.
- Process, acknowledge, and maintain records of donations.
- Operate, maintain, secure, and improve the website and its features.
- Prevent fraud, spam, misuse, or security incidents.
- Follow the law and protect the Foundation’s rights and the safety of people who use the website.
3. How We Share Information
We do not sell or trade personal information. We do not use personal information for targeted advertising or sell it to data brokers.
We may disclose information in these limited circumstances:
- Service providers: We may share information with vendors that help us operate the website, store data (such as Notion), manage communications, protect forms, or administer programs. They may use information to provide services to us and are not authorized by us to sell it.
- Third-party features you use: If you use a third-party service, such as Zeffy, Notion, or an Instagram embed, that service may collect or receive information as described in its own privacy terms.
- Legal and safety reasons: We may disclose information when we reasonably believe disclosure is required by law, legal process, or necessary to protect rights, safety, or security.
- With your direction or permission: We may share information when you ask us to or authorize us to do so.
Directory information that you submit and approve for publication may be displayed publicly as described below.
4. Public Directory Information
The website may publish information about businesses or providers in a public directory. Depending on the submission and what is approved for publication, a listing may include a name, category, description, city, state, street address, phone number, email address, website, or professional information.
Listings are intended to help visitors discover businesses and providers. A listing is not an endorsement or a referral for care. It is not a guarantee or individualized recommendation. Visitors should independently verify credentials, licensure, services, availability, costs, and suitability.
A business or provider may request a correction or removal by emailing info@cheeseonmycracker.com. Please identify the listing and describe the requested change. We will review the request and take appropriate action. A removal request to the Foundation does not remove copies or information held by third parties.
5. Cookies and Similar Technologies
We use only essential cookies needed for basic website functions, such as maintaining a session or supporting security. We do not use advertising cookies or cookies for targeted advertising, and we do not use cookies to store or cache personal information.
Some third-party features, such as Instagram content or security services, may use their own technologies when loaded or used. Those third parties control their technologies and are subject to their own privacy terms. You can manage cookies through your browser settings, but blocking essential cookies may affect website functionality.
6. Third-Party Services and Links
The website may link to or display content from third parties, including Zeffy, Cloudflare, and Instagram. When you follow a third-party link or interact with an embedded feature, your information may be collected directly by that third party under its own policies. We encourage you to review those policies before using the service.
For information about the services currently used on the website, see:
If we enable website analytics, such as PostHog, this policy will be updated to describe what it collects before it goes live.
7. Analytics
The website does not currently use analytics. If we add analytics in the future, such as PostHog, we will update this policy to describe what it collects before it goes live. We do not use analytics to advertise or to build advertising profiles.
8. Data Security and Retention
We take reasonable steps to keep your information safe. Still, no way of sending or storing information is completely secure.
We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including to respond to requests, administer events or communications, maintain donation and organizational records, resolve disputes, protect the website, and meet legal obligations. We may retain information longer when required or permitted by law.
9. Your Choices and Requests
You may ask us to:
- Provide access to personal information we hold about you.
- Correct information that is inaccurate or incomplete.
- Delete information, subject to legal and operational requirements.
- Stop sending you optional marketing or newsletter communications.
To make a request, email info@cheeseonmycracker.com with enough information for us to understand and review it. We may need to verify your identity before responding. Which rights you have can depend on the law. We may need to keep some information for legal, security, or donation-record reasons.
You may unsubscribe from a newsletter by using its unsubscribe link, if available, or by contacting us.
10. Children and Minors
The website’s account, community-join, and event-registration features are not intended for people under 18.
