Privacy Policy

Last updated September 21, 2026

This policy explains how information is handled when you visit Pause With a Purpose or contact us through this website.

Information you choose to share

The contact form asks for your name, email address, reason for reaching out, and message. We receive the information you submit and use it to review your inquiry, respond, and manage related correspondence.

Please share only what is needed for your question. Do not submit medical records, patient information, government identification numbers, or another person’s private information. The contact form is not a clinical service or an emergency channel.

Website hosting and technical information

This website is hosted by Squarespace. Squarespace processes information needed to deliver and protect the site, including technical information such as an IP address and browser or device information. Cookies and similar technologies may support site functionality, security, and, depending on the site’s settings and your choices, analytics.

Learn more about the platform’s processing in the Squarespace Privacy Policy. You can manage cookies through your browser and any cookie controls shown on this site. Blocking some cookies may affect functionality.

Access, service providers, and sharing

Contact submissions can be accessed by the people administering this website and handling inquiries. Squarespace and service providers used to deliver or store correspondence may process information as part of operating those services.

Information may also be disclosed when required by law or where necessary to address misuse or protect safety and legal rights. Sending a message does not make it public. We will seek your permission before publishing a personal story that identifies you.

Retention and security

Correspondence is retained for handling inquiries, related follow-up, and applicable recordkeeping or legal needs. Retention can vary with the nature of the message and the systems used to store it. You can contact us to ask about information associated with your inquiry or request its deletion.

No website or method of electronic communication can guarantee complete security. Avoid sending sensitive information that is unnecessary for your request.

Your choices and requests

You may choose not to submit the contact form. You can request access to, correction of, or deletion of information you have shared by using our Contact page and identifying your message as a privacy request. Please provide enough information to locate your correspondence without sending sensitive identity documents.

Available privacy rights and any exceptions depend on applicable law. We may need to verify a request before acting on it. For information that Squarespace handles independently, consult its privacy policy and request channels.

External resources

Our resource directory links to independent websites. When you follow those links, the destination’s own privacy policy applies. Review it before sharing personal information with that service.

Updates and contact

This policy may be revised as the website or its practices change. The date at the top identifies the latest update. For privacy questions, please contact Pause With a Purpose.
