Your information, handled with care.

Last updated: 2026

Black Healthcare Advocate ("we," "us," "our") is building a tool to help Black patients navigate healthcare with clarity and confidence. This policy explains what information we collect through this website, how we use it, and the choices you have.

Plain-language summary: We only collect what you choose to share (like your email). We use it to keep you updated and to build a better product. We never sell your information, and you can ask us to delete it at any time.

What we collect

We only collect information you provide directly through our forms:

Waiting list: your email address, and optionally your name and phone number.
Contact form: your name, email, the topic, and your message.
Community Healthcare Questionnaire: your survey answers. The questionnaire is anonymous unless you choose to share your email for early access.
Basic technical info: standard details your browser sends (such as browser type) that help us prevent spam.

How we use it

To send you launch updates and early-access invitations you asked for.
To respond to messages you send us.
To understand community needs and shape what we build first.

How it's stored

Form submissions are delivered and stored through trusted third-party services (currently Formspree) that process the data on our behalf. A copy may also be saved temporarily in your own browser as a backup. Access to submissions is limited to the Black Healthcare Advocate team.

What we do not do

We do not sell, rent, or trade your information.
We do not use your information for third-party advertising.
We do not share it except as needed to operate the services above or as required by law.

A note on health information

The questionnaire is for product research, not medical advice, and it is not a medical record. Please don't submit detailed clinical or sensitive health records through these forms. As a pre-launch project, this website is not a HIPAA-covered service; we'll update this policy with full details as our product and protections evolve.

Your choices

Unsubscribe from updates at any time using the link in our emails.
Access or delete your information by emailing us at the address below; we'll honor your request promptly.

Children's privacy

This website is intended for adults and is not directed to children under 16. We do not knowingly collect information from children.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the product develops. When we do, we'll revise the "last updated" date above.
