Privacy policy.
What is collected on this website, how financial documentation submitted for application review is handled, and the choices available to you.
The short version
Two systems, handled differently.
The distinction between them is the most important thing on this page.
- This public website
- Carries no submission forms, accounts, or logins. The therapist-directory filters run in your browser and do not send the selected values anywhere.
- The secure portal
- A separate system where applications, supporting documents, and award decisions are handled. It is excluded from search indexing and governed by the practices set out below.
What is collected
On this public site.
Deliberately minimal, because a page explaining funding eligibility does not need to know anything about you.
- No account or login
- The public site has no authentication. There is nothing to sign into and no profile associated with your visit.
- No working forms
- The public site has no contact, application, or payment form. Email, applications, and donations move to the clearly identified external channel for that task.
- Standard server logs
- A web host records request information such as IP address, timestamp, requested URL, and user agent, as any web server does. These are operational records used for security and reliability.
- Analytics and ad measurement
- The public pages load Google Tag Manager from Lit Path's own Google account. It runs Google Analytics, which counts visits, the pages viewed, a general location, and the type of device, and Google Ads conversion measurement, which records whether a visit from a Lit Path ad went on to a donation or the start of an application. No application details, health information, or form contents are sent to Google. For visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland, these tools start with storage turned off. You can block them in your browser settings or with Google's opt-out add-on at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. The sign-in pages carry none of this.
- Third-party fonts
- Typefaces load from Google Fonts, which means your browser makes a request to that service when a page loads.
- No data brokers or health-based targeting
- No data-broker scripts run on these pages, and no advertising audiences are built from anything about your health or your application. For a site about mental health and money, that restraint is a deliberate policy rather than an oversight.
Funding applications
How sensitive information is handled.
Applications ask for financial documentation, which is among the most sensitive material any nonprofit handles. It is treated accordingly.
- Collected for one purpose
- Financial and identity documentation is collected to assess a funding application, and is used for that assessment and the administration of any resulting award.
- Access is restricted
- Documents are available to the people conducting the review and administering awards. They are not shared with donors, sponsors, partner organizations, or participating therapists.
- Retained only as long as needed
- Documents are retained for the period the review, any award, and applicable record-keeping obligations require, then deleted on a defined schedule.
- No clinical records
- Therapy notes and clinical records stay with your therapist. They are not collected, requested, or received as part of funding administration.
- Coordination with your therapist
- Where an award is made, coordination with the practice concerns attendance against award terms and payment. It does not involve the content of your therapy.
- Never sold or rented
- Applicant information is not sold, rented, or shared for marketing by this organization or anyone acting for it.
Your choices
What you can ask for.
These apply regardless of whether a statutory right covers your jurisdiction.
- Access
- Ask what information is held about you and receive a copy of it.
- Correction
- Ask for inaccurate information to be corrected.
- Deletion
- Ask for information to be deleted where no active award or record-keeping obligation requires it.
- Withdrawal
- Withdraw an application at any point. Documents submitted with a withdrawn application are deleted on the retention schedule.
- How to ask
- Email info@litpath.org. Requests are answered within a reasonable period, and identity is verified first so nobody else can make a request about you.
Practical notes
Three things worth knowing.
Small details that matter more than they look.
- Do not email sensitive documents
- Ordinary email is not a secure channel. Financial documents belong in the secure portal, never in an email or a contact form.
- Children
- This site is not directed at children, and applications are submitted by adults. Where an award may cover care for a dependent, the current program terms say so explicitly.
- Changes to this policy
- Material changes will be reflected here with an updated date. The date at the top of this page is the authority for which version you are reading.
Questions about your information?
Email info@litpath.org and say what you want to know. Privacy questions reach a person, and a policy that cannot answer a direct question is not doing its job.
