Privacy Policy

Introduction

At Abide Women’s Health Services, INC. (“Abide,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), your privacy matters deeply to us. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, protect, and share information when you visit our website, www.abidewomen.org. By using our website, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

Information We Collect

We collect both personal and technical information from users. This includes names, email addresses, and phone numbers submitted through contact forms, donation platforms, or interest forms. We collect donation and payment information through our secure partner, Givebutter. We also use Google Analytics 4, which gathers technical data such as browser type, IP address, and site behavior. While we do not collect insurance information or detailed health records directly on our website, users who inquire about care may be redirected to a Google Form, where limited pregnancy-related or health-related information is voluntarily submitted.

How We Collect Information

We collect information in two main ways: directly when you provide it through our website forms or donation tools, and automatically through cookies and tracking tools such as Google Analytics. At this time, our website does not offer a cookie opt-out feature, though many browsers allow users to disable cookies manually.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information you provide to send newsletters, process donations, register clients for classes and events, and respond to appointment inquiries. We also analyze website data to improve our outreach and advertising efforts. We do not use your data for automated decision-making or profiling.

SMS Consent

If you choose to receive SMS messages from Abide, your mobile number will be used solely for communication related to our services and updates. In accordance with The Campaign Registry (TCR) requirements, we want to make it clear that SMS opt-in consent or phone numbers for SMS purposes will NOT be shared with third parties and affiliates for marketing purposes.

Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell or rent your personal data. We share limited information with trusted third parties like Givebutter for secure donation processing and Google Analytics for performance insights. If you access linked platforms like ClientCare for client services, those services are governed by their own privacy policies. Any information shared with funders or partners is always de-identified and used only for evaluation or reporting purposes.

Data Security

We take your privacy seriously and have safeguards in place to protect your data. Our website uses SSL encryption to secure all data transmissions, and access to any personal data submitted through our site is restricted to authorized members of our internal team. No third-party vendors have access to this information beyond what is necessary to provide essential services.

Data Retention

We retain personal data only as long as necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

Your Rights and Choices

You have the right to opt out of communications at any time by using the unsubscribe link in our emails. If you wish to update, correct, or request the deletion of your personal information, you may do so by emailing info@abidewomen.org. We welcome any questions or concerns regarding your privacy.

Third-Party Links

Our website includes links to third-party platforms such as Givebutter and ClientCare. These platforms operate independently and are governed by their own privacy policies. Abide is not responsible for the privacy practices of these external websites.

Children's Privacy

Our website is intended for adult users and is not designed to attract or collect information from children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors.
