Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 30, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Acumen Health Research Institute (“AHRI,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, handles information collected through acumenhealthresearch.org (the “Site”) and when you contact us through it.
Scope. This policy covers the Site and general inquiries only. It does not govern personal information collected from participants in AHRI’s surveys or research studies. That information is handled under a separate participant privacy notice and informed-consent process, and, where applicable, institutional review board (IRB) oversight.
Information we collect
Information you provide
When you submit a form on the Site, we collect the name, email address, and any message content you enter. We use this information to respond to your inquiry and to follow up about a possible working relationship or collaboration.
Information collected automatically
The Site does not use cookies, analytics, advertising, or other tracking technologies, and it does not build profiles of visitors. See our Cookie Policy for more.
Our website host records standard web-server logs, which may include your IP address, the date and time of your request, the pages requested, and your browser type. These logs are used for security, troubleshooting, and keeping the Site running.
How we use information
- To respond to your inquiries and communicate with you about our work;
- To operate, maintain, secure, and improve the Site;
- To comply with legal obligations and to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.
How we share information
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for advertising. We disclose information only as follows:
- Service providers that process information on our behalf, under contract, for the purposes above:
- Web3Forms — delivers form submissions to our email inbox.
- Our website host — serves the Site and maintains server logs.
- Legal and safety — when we believe disclosure is required by law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request, or is necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of AHRI, our users, or others.
- Organizational changes — in connection with a merger, reorganization, or transfer of AHRI’s programs or assets to another organization, information may be transferred as part of that transaction.
Data retention
We keep inquiry correspondence for as long as needed to handle your request and for a reasonable period afterward for recordkeeping, then delete or archive it. Server logs are retained for a limited period by our host.
Data security
The Site is served over HTTPS, and we rely on reputable service providers with their own security programs. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
International visitors
The Site is operated from the United States and is intended for a U.S. audience. If you access it from outside the United States, your information will be processed in the United States, where data-protection laws may differ from those in your country.
Your privacy choices
Cookies and tracking. The Site does not use cookies, analytics, or other tracking technologies, so there is nothing to opt out of. We do not track visitors, sell personal information, or share it for advertising.
Do Not Sell or Share. We do not sell or share personal information as those terms are used under California law. There is nothing to opt out of. If you have questions or want us to delete inquiry information you sent us, contact us through the contact form.
California residents
Acumen Health Research Institute is a non-profit organization. The California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended, generally applies to for-profit businesses that meet certain thresholds, and we do not believe it applies to our non-profit activities. Regardless, we do not sell or share personal information, we do not use it for targeted advertising, and California residents may contact us with privacy questions or requests using the details below.
Children’s privacy
The Site is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 16 through the Site. If you believe a child has provided us personal information through the Site, please contact us and we will delete it.
Third-party links
The Site may link to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites, and we encourage you to review their policies.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date above.
