Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 21, 2026
MyCancerCompass is committed to protecting the privacy of patients, caregivers, families, and visitors who use our cancer education and support resources. This Privacy Policy explains what information we may collect, how we use it, and the choices available to you.
Information we collect
We may collect information you provide directly, such as your name, email address, messages, newsletter preferences, and other information you choose to submit through forms or communications. We may also receive basic technical information, such as your browser type, device information, pages viewed, and approximate location, when you use the site.
How we use your information
We use information to respond to questions, provide requested resources, operate and improve the website, send updates when you request them, understand site usage, protect the site, and meet legal or safety obligations. We do not use information you submit to provide medical diagnosis or treatment.
Health and sensitive information
Please do not submit medical records, detailed health information, financial account information, passwords, or other highly sensitive information unless a specific form clearly asks for it and explains why it is needed. Information sent through ordinary email or website forms may not be secure in transit.
How we protect information
MyCancerCompass uses reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure. No website, email service, or online transmission can be guaranteed completely secure, so please use care when sharing information online.
When we share information
We may share information with service providers that help us host, maintain, secure, analyze, or communicate through the site. They may use information only to provide services to us and must handle it according to their obligations. We may also disclose information when required by law, to protect safety and rights, or as part of a reorganization or transfer of the organization. We do not sell personal information.
Cookies and analytics
The site may use cookies or similar technologies to keep the site working, remember preferences, understand traffic, and improve the user experience. Your browser may allow you to manage or block cookies, although some site features may not work as intended.
How long we keep information
We keep information only for as long as reasonably needed for the purposes described here, to maintain records, resolve issues, meet legal requirements, or protect the site and its users. Retention periods may vary by the type of information.
Your choices and rights
You may ask us to review, correct, update, or delete personal information we hold about you, subject to legal or operational limits. You may also unsubscribe from non-essential email communications by using the instructions in the message or contacting us. To make a privacy request, email mycancercompass@gmail.com.
Children’s privacy
This site is not intended to collect personal information from children without appropriate involvement and permission from a parent or guardian. If you believe a child provided information to us, please contact us so we can review the request.
