For each visitor to our Site, we may collect information such as the domain name of the website the visitor came from, the e-mail addresses of those who post messages to our bulletin board (if given), the e-mail addresses of those who communicate with us via e-mail, aggregate information on what pages visitors access or visit, information volunteered by a visitor, such as survey information, participation in chats or discussion boards, and/or site registrations.

We may collect this information and use it for marketing and communications purposes, internal review, research, and to improve the content of our Web page, but personally identifiable information is not shared with other organizations for commercial purposes.
Cookies: To help make our Site more responsive to the needs of our visitors, we invoke a standard feature found in browser software, called a “cookie”, to assign each visitor a unique, random number, a sort of anonymous user ID that resides on your computer. The cookie identifies the computer that a visitor uses to access the Site but cannot access or read information from your computer’s hard drive.

Screening Tools
If you use our screening tools on the Site, you provide us with personal information regarding your mental health conditions, such as depression or anxiety. W
We also collect voluntary demographic information, including age range, gender, race/ethnicity, household income, state, and zip code. We endeavor to store screening data in a way that cannot be used to identify you. For example, IP addresses associated with a particular screening session are protected by one-way hash so that they cannot be traced back to the original IP address. We may provide deidentified or aggregated data to universities, health providers or others for research purposes, in all cases taking reasonable steps to ensure that such data cannot be associated with any particular individual.
