Privacy Policy
Effective date: August 18, 2026
California Rural Health Student Advocates ("CRHSA," "we," "us") respects your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect through crhsa.com (the "Site"), how we use it, and the choices you have. By using the Site, you agree to this policy.
1. Information we collect
Information you provide. When you use our contact form, newsletter signup, or Get Involved form, we collect the information you enter: your first and last name, email address, ZIP code, school or program, subject and message text, and your survey responses (such as your role, interests, availability, and how you heard about us).
Information collected automatically. Like most websites, we may collect basic technical information through cookies and similar technologies: browser type, device type, pages visited, and general usage patterns. See "Cookies" below.
2. How we use your information
- To respond to your messages and inquiries
- To send you our newsletter and advocacy updates you requested
- To match volunteers with advocacy opportunities based on interests, availability, and region
- To understand our supporter base by region (ZIP code) so we can plan advocacy across the counties we serve
- To operate, maintain, and improve the Site
3. Cookies
We use a small number of cookies and similar technologies to remember your preferences (such as your cookie consent choice and display theme) and to understand how visitors use the Site. You can decline non-essential cookies through our consent banner and control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect some Site features.
4. How we share information
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. We share information only:
- With service providers who help us operate the Site, deliver email, or process form submissions, under obligations to protect your information
- When required by law, legal process, or to protect the rights and safety of CRHSA or others
- With your consent or at your direction
5. Data retention
We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes described above: to maintain our contact and volunteer lists, comply with legal obligations, and resolve disputes. You may ask us to delete your information at any time.

If you are a California resident, you have the right to:
- Know what personal information we collect, use, and share
- Request a copy of your personal information
- Request correction of inaccurate information
- Request deletion of your personal information
- Not receive discriminatory treatment for exercising these rights
To exercise any of these rights, email us at info@crhsa.com with the subject line "Privacy request." We will verify your request and respond within the time required by law.
7. Children's privacy
The Site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
8. Security
We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
9. Third-party links
The Site links to third-party websites, including news outlets and government pages. Their privacy practices are their own; we encourage you to review their policies.
