Privacy Policy

Effective Date:

Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how End Kratom Addiction ("End Kratom Addiction," "we," "us," or "our") may collect, use, and share information when you visit https://https://www.endkratomaddiction.org (the "Website") or contact us through it.

The Website provides public information about kratom, related policy issues, and advocacy opportunities. By using the Website, you acknowledge this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with it, please do not use the Website.

Information We Collect

Information You Provide

You may choose to provide personal information when you contact us, request information, participate in an advocacy activity, or subscribe to communications. Depending on the interaction, this may include your name, email address, phone number, location, message, communication preferences, or other information you choose to provide.

Please do not submit sensitive personal information, including health information, government identification numbers, financial information, or information about another person, unless a form specifically requests it and explains why it is needed.

Information Collected Automatically

When you visit the Website, our hosting, security, and technical-service providers may receive information that your browser or device sends automatically, such as your IP address, browser type, device type, referring page, pages viewed, and the date and time of a request. We use this information as reasonably necessary to provide, secure, maintain, and understand use of the Website.

The Website's use of cookies and similar technologies may change as features and service providers change. Where required by law, we will obtain consent before using non-essential cookies or similar technologies.

Third-Party Services

Some Website features may be provided by third parties, such as email, form, hosting, security, analytics, or advocacy-service providers. Those providers may process information according to their own privacy policies and the services they provide. We do not treat a third party's privacy practices as our own. Where we know a third-party service is used for a particular feature, we will use it for that feature and disclose material information about it when appropriate.

How We Use Information

We may use information to:

Respond to questions, messages, or requests.
Provide information and administer advocacy or participation activities.
Send newsletters or campaign updates when you request or opt in to receive them.
Maintain communication preferences and process unsubscribe requests.
Operate, maintain, secure, troubleshoot, and improve the Website.
Detect, prevent, and address fraud, abuse, security incidents, or technical problems.
Comply with legal obligations and protect our rights, users, and the public.

We do not use information submitted through the Website to provide medical, legal, or other professional services.

We may share information:

With service providers that help us operate the Website, communications, forms, security, hosting, or advocacy activities, subject to appropriate instructions or agreements where applicable.
When you direct us to share it or consent to a specific disclosure.
To comply with a subpoena, court order, law, or valid governmental request.
To investigate or address fraud, security, abuse, or threats to people or property.
In connection with a merger, reorganization, financing, acquisition, dissolution, or sale of assets, subject to applicable law.

We do not sell personal information for money. We do not share personal information with third parties for their independent marketing purposes unless we clearly explain the practice and obtain any consent required by law.

Communications and Choices

You may contact us at any time to ask about or change your communication preferences. If you receive recurring email communications from us, you may unsubscribe using the link in the message or by contacting info@endkratomaddiction.org. We may still send non-promotional messages when necessary to respond to you, address a request, provide an important service notice, or comply with law.

Withdrawing consent does not affect processing that occurred before withdrawal or processing that does not require consent under applicable law.

Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures intended to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

If you believe your interaction with the Website or your information may have been compromised, contact us promptly at info@endkratomaddiction.org. We will respond and provide notices as required by applicable law.

Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including responding to requests, maintaining records, administering communications, resolving disputes, enforcing agreements, protecting the Website, and complying with legal obligations.

Retention periods vary by the type of information and the reason it was collected. When information is no longer needed, we may delete it, anonymize it, or securely dispose of it, subject to legal, technical, backup, and operational limitations.

Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live and subject to applicable exceptions, you may have rights to request access to, correction of, deletion of, or a copy of your personal information; to object to or restrict certain processing; to withdraw consent; and to appeal a decision about a privacy request.

To make a request, contact us at info@endkratomaddiction.org and describe the request clearly. We may need to verify your identity before completing it. We will respond within the time required by applicable law. You may also have the right to complain to a data-protection or privacy regulator in your jurisdiction.

This policy does not limit rights that cannot be waived under applicable law. If you are covered by a state, federal, or international privacy law, additional disclosures or rights may apply.

Children's Privacy

The Website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, contact us at info@endkratomaddiction.org so we can review and take appropriate action.

Where applicable law sets a higher age or requires parental consent, we will follow that law.

International Data Transfers

End Kratom Addiction is based in the United States. Information may be processed or stored in the United States or other locations where our service providers operate. Those locations may have privacy protections different from those in your jurisdiction. Where required, we will use legally recognized safeguards for international transfers.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes to the Website, our information practices, service providers, or applicable law. We will post the revised policy on this page and update the effective date. Your continued use of the Website after an update means you acknowledge the revised policy, to the extent permitted by law.
