By accessing or using our services and/or visiting our site, you agree to the terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy.
The WRC participating providers will not upload, transmit, or otherwise make available records subject to 42 C.F.R. Part 2 through the WRC instance of the Everest Provider Platform (client management system/software).
Information We Collect.
We collect personal information from you directly when you provide it to us when accessing our services or through our site. We may also automatically collect certain information about you and your computer, smartphone, or other device when you use, access, or interact with our site.
Information you provide. You may provide us with the following types of information:
● Use Our Services. When you use our services, we may collect your first and/or last name, email address, phone number, residential address, zip code, demographic information, household information, employment and education levels, and/or service-related needs. We also may collect other optional information you choose to provide as part of registration or a needs assessment.
● Your Communications. We may collect personal information, such as your name, email address, and/or phone number when you contact us or request information about services.
● Our Surveys. We may contact you to participate in surveys. If you decide to participate, you may be asked to provide certain information which may include personal information.
● Interactive Features. We may collect personal information that you submit or make available through the interactive features of our website or client management system(s)/software (if any) (e.g., collaboration tools, messaging and chat features, commenting functionalities, forums, blogs, and social media pages, surveys, assessments). Any information you provide on the public sections of these features will be considered
“public,” unless otherwise required by applicable law, and is not subject to the privacy protections referenced herein.
Information Automatically Collected. We may collect certain information automatically when you use or access our site, such as your Internet protocol (IP) address, user settings, MAC address, cookie identifiers, mobile carrier, mobile advertising and other unique identifiers, browser or device information, location information (including approximate location derived from IP address), and Internet service provider. We may also automatically collect information regarding your use of our site, such as pages that you visit before, during and after using our site, information about the links you click, the types of content you interact with, the frequency and duration of your activities, and other information about how you use our site. In addition, we may collect information that other people provide about you when they use our site, including information about you when they tag you.
● Web Log Data. When you access our site, we automatically receive and record certain information from your computer (or other device) and your browser. This may include such data as your IP address and domain name, the pages you visit on our site, the date and time of your visit, the files that you download, the URLs from the websites you visit before and after navigating to our site, your software and hardware attributes (including device IDs), your general geographic location (e.g., your city, state, or metropolitan region), and certain cookie information (see below). To obtain such information, we may use web logs or applications that recognize your computer and gather information about its online activity.
● Cookies. We also use cookies on our site. Cookies are small files that are stored on your computer by your web browser. A cookie allows our site to recognize whether you have visited before and may store user preferences and other information. For example, cookies can be used to collect or store information about your use of our site during your current session and over time (including the pages you view and the files you download), your computer's operating system and browser type, your Internet service provider, your domain name and IP address, your general geographic location, the website that you visited before our site, and any links you used to leave our site. If you are concerned about having cookies on your computer, you can set your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being set, allowing you to decide whether to accept it. You can also delete cookies from your computer. However, if you choose to block or delete cookies, certain features of our site may not operate correctly.
● Web Beacons. Our site or the emails that you receive from us may use an application known as a "web beacon" (also known as a "clear gif" or "web bug"). A web beacon is an electronic file that usually consists of a single-pixel image. It can be embedded in a web page or in an email to transmit information, which could include personal information. For example, it can allow an email sender to determine whether a user has opened a particular email.
● SDKs & Mobile Advertising IDs. Our site may include third-party software development kits (“SDKs”) that allow us and our service providers to collect information about your activity. In addition, some mobile devices come with a resettable advertising ID (such as Apple's IDFA and Google's Advertising ID) that, like cookies and pixel tags, allow us and our service providers to identify your mobile device over time for advertising purposes.
● Third-Party Plugins. Our site may include plugins from other companies, including social media companies (e.g., the Facebook “Like” button). These plugins may collect information,
such as information about the web pages you visit, and share it with the company that created the plugin even if you do not click on the plugin. These third-party plugins are governed by the privacy policies and terms of the companies that created them.
● Aggregated & Deidentified Information. From time to time, we may also collect and share aggregated or deidentified information about those who use our services or access our site, such as by publishing a community report or sharing with organizations to increase the capacity and resources for the sector. Such aggregated or deidentified information will not identify you personally.

Your Privacy Choices and Your Rights.
Depending on where you reside, you may have different rights with respect to your personal information.

Email Opt-Out. You may also opt out of receiving emails from us by following the instructions in those emails or by emailing us.
External Links. Our site may contain links to third-party websites. If you use these links, you will leave the site. We have not reviewed these third-party websites and do not control and are not responsible for any of these websites, their content, or their privacy policies. Thus, we do not endorse or make any representations about the foregoing, or any information, software, or other
products or materials found there, or any results that may be obtained from using them. If you decide to access any of the third-party websites listed on our site, you do so at your own risk.
Data Security. We may employ physical, technical, and administrative procedures to safeguard the personal information we collect. However, no website or system/software is 100% secure, and we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to our site or to us by other electronic means (including by email), and you transmit such information at your own risk.
Data Retention. We may retain personal information about you necessary to fulfill the purpose for which that information was collected or as required or permitted by law. We do not retain personal information longer than is necessary for us to achieve the purposes for which we collected it. When we destroy your personal information, we do so in a way that prevents that information from being restored or reconstructed.
Children’s Data. We do not knowingly collect information from persons under the age of 13. If we learn that a person under the age of 13 has created an account or directly applied for programs, then we will remove that information from our systems. Please be advised, however, that certain programs offered by third parties may be applicable to persons under the age of 13 or may require us to provide information about the children in your household. In those situations, we only collect information about persons under the age of 13 directly from the registered user, which must be a person over the age of 13.

To the extent required by law, our legal basis for processing information, as described above, will depend on the type of information at issue and the purpose for which it is collected and used. In many cases, we rely on your consent to process information, or we process information as necessary for the performance of our agreements with you. We also may rely on our legitimate interests to process your information, for the purposes described in this privacy policy, except where such interests are overridden by your data protection interests or fundamental rights and freedoms. We do not make any decisions involving the use of automated decision-making or profiling.
