Privacy Policy & HIPAA Compliance

Last Updated: February 2026

1. Introduction

The CareMakers Collective™ ("we", "our", or "us") is deeply committed to protecting the privacy of our website visitors, donors, CareMakers, and families seeking care services. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and safeguard your personal information.

2. Data We Collect

  • Contact Information: Name, email address, phone number, and physical address when you fill out forms, volunteer, or donate.
  • Financial Information: Processed securely via our third-party payment partner (Stripe). We do not store full credit card numbers on our servers.
  • Caregiving Inquiries: Details regarding care needs for families and professional experience for CareMaker applicants.

3. HIPAA Compliance Statement

We ensure rigorous clinical oversight and data security. Any personal health information (PHI) submitted via our secure portal by families seeking care, or by CareMakers in relation to patient care, is handled strictly in adherence to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).

Note: This public marketing website does not directly store, process, or display PHI. The "Get Support" intake forms collect minimal necessary contact information bridging to our secure, encrypted HIPAA-compliant Organizational CRM systems.

4. How We Use Your Data

We use your information exclusively to connect you with caregiving services, process donations, evaluate training applications, and communicate regarding our programs. We strictly do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties.
