Privacy Policy

MAHA Center, Inc. ("MAHA Center," "we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website mahacenter.org (the "Website").

Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. By accessing or using our Website, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by all the terms of this Privacy Policy.

1. Information We Collect

Personal Information

We collect the information you choose to provide — for example when you subscribe to updates, support our work, contact us, apply to work with us, submit your practice to a directory, or share your story. Depending on what you use, this may include your name, email address, postal address, phone number, geographic location, professional or educational background, and anything you include in a message or submission, which may in some cases relate to your health.

Non-Personal Information

We automatically collect certain non-personal information when you visit our Website, including:

• IP address
• Browser type and version
• Operating system
• Pages visited and time spent on pages
• Referring website addresses

2. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to collect and store information about your interactions with our Website. Cookies are small data files stored on your device that help us improve your experience and understand how our Website is used.

Our analytics also record how visitors interact with pages — including clicks, scrolling, and navigation — to help us find pages that are slow or confusing. Form fields are excluded from this recording, so anything you type is not captured.

You can set your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies, or to alert you when websites set or access cookies. If you disable or refuse cookies, please note that some parts of the Website may become inaccessible or not function properly.

3. How We Use Your Information

We may use the information we collect to:

• Send you newsletters, updates, and communications about our work
• Process donations and send acknowledgment receipts
• Respond to your inquiries and provide customer support
• Improve our Website and user experience
• Analyze usage patterns and trends
• Comply with legal obligations
• Prevent fraud and enhance security

4. Disclosure of Your Information

We may share your information with third parties in the following circumstances:

• Service Providers: We share information with vendors who perform services on our behalf — including payment processing, email delivery, hosting, analytics, and security — and who may use it only for those services. We use Google reCAPTCHA to prevent abuse, subject to Google's Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
• Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if required by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities.
• Protection of Rights: We may disclose information to protect our rights, privacy, safety, or property, and that of our users or others.

We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

5. Your Privacy Rights

California Residents

If you are a California resident, you have the right to:

• Request disclosure of the categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you
• Request deletion of your personal information
• Request correction of inaccurate personal information
• Opt-out of the sale or sharing of your personal information

Other State Residents

Residents of other states may have additional rights under applicable state privacy laws, including the right to access, delete, correct, and port their personal data.

6. How Long We Keep Your Information

We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes described in this Policy, and as required by law — which for donation records means as long as tax and charitable-reporting rules require.

7. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Age Restrictions

Our Website is intended for users who are at least 18 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Where an applicant to one of our programs is under 18, we collect only what is needed to evaluate the application and may require parental or guardian consent.

9. Third-Party Links

Our Website may contain links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of these third-party sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit.
