Privacy Policy
Effective Date: 6-25-25
The Thinkbox Co-Pay Project
1. **Our Commitment to Your Privacy
At The Thinkbox Co-Pay Project, your privacy matters. Whether you’re a sponsee seeking support, a sponsor offering help, or simply visiting our website, we’re committed to protecting your personal information and honoring your trust.
2. Information We Collect
We may collect personal information when you:
-
Apply for sponsorship (e.g., name, contact info, income details, insurance status)
-
Apply to become a sponsor
-
Use our website
-
Contact us via email, phone, or forms
We only collect information necessary to provide support and operate responsibly.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use the information you provide to:
-
Match sponsees with appropriate providers
-
Coordinate financial assistance with providers
-
Communicate important updates
-
Improve our services
-
Fulfill legal and financial obligations (e.g., nonprofit reporting)
We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes—ever.
4. Health Information & HIPAA
While we are not a medical provider and therefore not bound by HIPAA as a “covered entity,” we voluntarily uphold similar confidentiality standards when handling any health-related information.
If you choose to sign a Release of Information (ROI), we may receive limited details (such as appointment attendance or billing info) from your mental health provider to coordinate payment. This information is kept strictly confidential.
5. Your Control & Choices
You can:
-
Request a copy of the information we have about you
-
Ask us to update or correct your information
-
Withdraw consent at any time (note: this may impact your sponsorship)
-
Opt out of general communication or newsletters
To do so, email us at: [your email]
6. Data Security
We take precautions to protect your data—physically and digitally. This includes:
-
Secure storage of documents
-
Limited staff access
-
Use of secure platforms (e.g., encrypted email, password-protected files)
7. Website & Cookies
We may use basic cookies and analytics tools to understand how visitors use our website. This helps us improve site performance, but does not collect any personally identifying data unless you submit a form.
8. Third-Party Providers
We may partner with service providers (e.g., mental health clinics) to deliver care. These partners are required to uphold privacy and confidentiality. We only share information necessary to coordinate support—and only with your consent.
9. Children’s Privacy
Our services are intended for individuals 18 years and older. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13.
10. Policy Updates
We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes to our practices. When we do, we’ll revise the effective date at the top. Material changes will be communicated directly if they affect your personal data.
