OVERVIEW
This privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) applies to The Hopelinewebsite located at www.thehopeline.com (the “Site”) owned and operated by TheHopeLine, hereinafter referred to as “THL”. 

We have established this privacy policy to explain to you how your personal information (as defined below) is protected, collected, and used. 

Please read this Privacy Policy in full before accessing the Site or any of its services.

By visiting the Site, you agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use or access the Site. DMA/THL may modify this privacy policy from time to time and post such modifications here on this web page. Your continued use of the Site after any such modification constitutes your acceptance of the modified agreement. By registering with our Site, you expressly consent to our use and disclosure of your personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
Please note that his Privacy Policy applies only to our Site and not to any of the other organizations to which we may link or that may link to us.

This site is protected by reCAPTCHA and the Google Privacy Policy and Terms of Service apply.

What is personal information?

The term “personal information” means information that identifies an individual, or from which an individual could be identified (such as name, address, telephone number, email address, credit card number or other account number), and information about that individual’s location or activities, such as information about his or her use of the Site. Personal information also includes demographic information such as date of birth, gender, geographic area and preferences when such information is linked to other personal information that identifies you.

Personal information does not include “aggregate” information, which is data we collect about the use of the Site or categories of Site users, from which any personal information has been removed. We collect aggregate data for a number of purposes, including to help us understand trends and consumer needs so we can better consider new publications, products and services, and tailor existing publications, products and services to consumer desires. This Privacy Policy in no way limits or restricts our collection of aggregate information.

What personal information do we collect and how do we use it?

Personal information may be collected in a number of ways when you use the Site. At several places on our Site, we may collect certain information you voluntarily provide to us, which may contain personal information. If you visit the Site, participate in a Live Chat with a Hope Coach, send us an email, or otherwise communicate with us, we may collect your name, contact information, and other information that you provide.

Your state’s laws may not recognize a legal privilege in your communications with us. In this event, it is possible that a court of law can force us to reveal information that you provide to us. If you are concerned about this possibility, please click here to contact us.

Policy With Respect to Minors

We do not specifically solicit information from minors (defined as children under the age of 13). We request that parents assist their children before the children volunteer any information online (not just to us, but to any web-based service) and we also ask that children get their parents’ consent before providing any such information. 

Any information submitted will be treated as information submitted by an adult, since we are unable to determine any specific user’s age. If we become aware that a child under the age of 13 has provided us with personal information, we will remove this information from our files unless directed by law enforcement or another government agency to do so. If a parent or guardian becomes aware that his or her child has provided personal information to us without consent, the parent can click here to contact us.

Collection and Sharing of Information Pursuant to Legal Requirements

Please note that some states require us, by law, to record and report information regarding abuse of someone less than 18 years of age, or vulnerable or disabled adults, including persons over 60 years of age, or persons who are in danger of committing suicide or a violent act against others. If you provide such information to us and provide information that could identify you or your location, we may have to record such information and provide it to the appropriate authorities. 

By using our Site and providing personal information, you authorize us to reveal such information to law enforcement or other governmental officials as we, in our sole discretion, believe is necessary or appropriate, in connection with compliance with laws. Also, by law, if we fear that you are in danger of harming yourself or others, or we have reasonable cause to believe that you are under 13 years of age, we may be required to disclose whatever information you provide to appropriate authorities and/or your guardians. We may also have to release certain information you provide to comply with valid legal requirements (such as subpoenas and court orders). In the event that we are required to disclose information about you to a third party, we will attempt to notify you unless doing so would violate a law or court order.

At your request, we can send you personalized emails and secure electronic messages on subjects about which you are interested. If you do not want to receive future e-mails from us, please click here and write in the comments section you would like to unsubscribe from all email.

We have partnered with Stripe and PayPal to offer safe and secure credit card and electronic check transactions to you. If you make donations or purchases on the Site, you will be redirected to a third-party website owned by Stripe or PayPal, which processes billing information and collects certain information including payment amount, date of purchase, cardholder name, card number, expiration date, CVV number, bank information, billing address, shipping address, phone number, email address and additional information you may provide. We do not control or operate Stripe or PayPal, and do not collect any of the information you submit through these providers except for the processing report provided to us with your payment.
