Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 12, 2026
The Counseling Brothers of Atlanta, Inc. (“CBOA,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you visit thecboa.org (the “Site”).
Important scope note: This policy covers the CBOA website only. CBOA is a nonprofit that provides mentorship, education, advocacy, and a directory connecting the community to mental health professionals. Therapy and clinical services are provided by independent, separately licensed therapists. Any care you receive from a therapist listed in our directory is governed by that provider’s own privacy practices and HIPAA notices, not this policy.
1. Information We Collect
Information you provide directly:
- Contact form submissions (name, email, message)
- Directory listing claims / therapist profile submissions (name, credentials, practice details, photo, contact info)
- Mentorship, continuing education, or event registrations
- Donation information (processed by our third-party payment/donation provider)
- Email or other correspondence you send us
Information collected automatically:
- Standard log data (IP address, browser type, device, pages visited, referring page)
- Cookies and similar technologies (see Section 4)
We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal or health information through the Site, and we ask that you not submit clinical, diagnostic, or other sensitive health details through our contact forms.
2. How We Use Information
We use information to:
- Respond to inquiries and provide requested information
- Operate and maintain the therapist directory and listing-claim process
- Administer mentorship, education, and event programs
- Process and acknowledge donations
- Improve the Site and understand how it is used
- Comply with legal obligations
3. How We Share Information
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it with advertisers or use it for targeted/behavioral advertising.
We may share information only with:
- Service providers who help us operate the Site (hosting, analytics, email, payment/donation processing) under obligations to protect it
- Legal authorities when required by law or to protect rights and safety
4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
The Site uses cookies and similar technologies for basic functionality. You can control cookies through your browser settings; disabling them may affect some features.
We do not use advertising or social-media tracking pixels (e.g., Meta/Facebook Pixel, Google Ads remarketing) on this Site.
5. Analytics
We do not currently use third-party analytics services on this Site. If we add analytics in the future, we will update this policy and will configure any such service to limit data collection — for example, IP anonymization, with advertising and data-sharing features turned off.
6. Third-Party Links and Services
The Site links to third-party services, including therapist listings, social media, and our donation page. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third parties; review their policies separately.
7. Data Security
We take reasonable measures to protect information collected through the Site. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
8. Your Privacy Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete your personal information, or to opt out of certain processing. To make a request, contact us at the address below.
- California residents may have rights under the CCPA/CPRA. We do not sell or “share” personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.
- EU/EEA/UK visitors: if applicable, we process data under a lawful basis and you may have rights under GDPR/UK GDPR.
9. Children’s Privacy
The Site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.
10. Donations
Donations are processed by a third-party provider. CBOA does not store full payment card details. Refer to the provider’s privacy policy for how payment information is handled.
11. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. Changes are effective when posted, with the “Last updated” date revised.
