– We may ask for your full name and e-mail address in our contact form
– We do not post your e-mail address anywhere on our website nor share it with third parties for any reason.
– We use a third party e-mail service which complies with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) to protect your information.

This privacy policy covers how PleasePrEPMe.org (“we”, “us”, “our”) collects, uses, maintains and discloses information collected from users (“you”) of the https://www.pleaseprepme.org/ website (“Site”). This policy applies to the Site and all products and services offered by PleasePrEPMe.org.
Personal identification information
We may collect personal identification information from you in a variety of ways, including, but not limited to, when you fill out the contact-us form or submit a provider to the directory. We collect personal identification information from you only if you voluntarily submit this information to us. You can always refuse to share personal identification information and this will not prevent you from using our services, however, doing so may prevent you from engaging in certain activities, for example receiving follow-up information from us after submitting a contact form. You can provide a pseudonym and alternate email address if you choose.
We may collect Personal Information in two ways.
The first is the online contact form for further questions or inquiry.
The fourth is through the use of surveys designated for the purpose of quality improvement, service follow-up and research. Participants may opt out of receiving follow-up surveys at any time and refusing to participate will not result in a loss of benefits or services.
Any names, email addresses, phone numbers, and information voluntarily provided will not be made public, shown or displayed on the website or to its affiliates, nor be shared or used for any purpose outside of our services unless we gain consent.
Submission of clinic information through the “Add a Location” form is consent to publish.
In order for PleasePrEPMe to protect your privacy, you should not provide any information that is not specifically requested.
Additionally, we collect and store information, including the content of conversations and various surveys, which we may use to create — or permit a third party researcher subject to a strict confidentiality agreement to create — and aggregate information that does not identify individual users, for the purpose of promoting and improving PrEP navigation services and their outcomes. We may share this aggregated, non-personally identifiable information (such as age, insurance status, county of residence) and any content of conversations with our funders, partners, researchers or third parties for this purpose. Individual users will not be linked or identified by sharing this aggregate information.
Despite these Terms and Conditions, the Internet is an imperfectly secure environment, and PleasePrEPMe.org cannot guarantee protection from intruders or interceptors. You agree to use our services and submit information at your own risk. You agree that PleasePrEPMe.org has no liability regarding unauthorized access to our services.
