8. California Privacy Rights (CCPA/CPRA)

Sale or sharing of personal information: We do not sell or share (as those terms are defined under the CCPA) your personal information.
Sensitive personal information: We collect health and mental health information from program participants through intake questionnaires, which may be considered sensitive personal information under the CCPA. This information is used solely to facilitate our Programs and is shared only with licensed therapists as described in Section 4.
