Privacy policy

Effective as of June 29, 2020

Momentous Institute (collectively, "Momentous," "we," "us" or "our") recognizes the importance of protecting the personal information collected from users in the operation of its services and taking reasonable steps to maintain the security, integrity and privacy of any information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. By submitting your information to Momentous Institute you consent to the practices described in this policy. If you are less than 18 years of age, then you must first seek the consent of your parent or guardian prior to submitting any personal information.

This Privacy Policy applies only to Momentous Institute. This Privacy Policy does not apply to the websites of any business partners or to any other third parties, even if their websites are linked to our website. We recommend you review the privacy policies of any other parties with whom you interact.

This Privacy Policy governs personal information we collect from our customers and online from our website users ("you"), through our products, services, donation acceptance, websites, contacts or our relationship with you.

For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, "Personal information" means information that identifies you, such as your name, address, telephone number(s), email address(es) and state licensure information (e.g. LCSW, LPC, LMFT).

INFORMATION WE COLLECTWe may ask you to provide personal information when you:
  • Use our website;
  • Request services, support or information;
  • Make a donation;
  • Place orders for products or services;
  • Participate in surveys or promotional activities;
  • Subscribe to newsletters, promotional emails or other materials; or
  • Contact us


Information we may request includes your email address, name, home address, telephone number and state licensure information. If you make a purchase or donation, we may ask for your credit card number and billing information. We may also collect demographic information, such as your organization’s information, organization type and size, preferences, favorites and evaluations. Forms that you may fill in will indicate whether information requested is mandatory or voluntary.

As is true with most websites, we gather certain information automatically. We may collect information about your visits to our websites, including the pages you view, the links you click, search terms you enter, and other actions you take in connection with the Momentous Institute website and services. We may also collect certain information from the browser you used to come to our website, such as your Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser type and language, access times, the Uniform Resource Locator (URL) of the website that referred you to our website and to which URL you browse away from our site if you click on a link on our site.

In order to offer you a more consistent and personalized experience in your interactions with Momentous Institute, information collected through one source may be combined with information obtained through other Momentous Institute resources. We may also supplement the information we collect with information obtained from other parties.

HOW WE USE PERSONAL INFORMATIONMomentous Institute uses your personal information to:
  • Deliver the services and support, or carry out, the transactions you have requested;
  • Send communications to you, such as your transactions status (for example, order or donation confirmations), information about products and services available from Momentous Institute, promotional offers and surveys;
  • Customize, analyze and improve our products, services (including the content and design of our website), technologies, communications and relationship with you;
  • Enforce our conditions of sale or website/subscription terms;
  • Prevent fraud and other prohibited or illegal activities;
  • Protect the security or integrity of the website, our organization, or our products or services; or
  • Otherwise, as disclosed to you at the point of collection.


DISCLOSING PERSONAL INFORMATIONWe may disclose your personal information in connection with law enforcement, fraud prevention or other legal action, as required by law or regulation or if Momentous Institute reasonably believes it is necessary to protect Momentous Institute, its customers or the public. Except as stated above, we will not disclose your personal information to third parties for their own marketing purposes unless you have provided consent.  

SELECTING YOUR COMMUNICATION PREFERENCESYou may choose to receive or not receive marketing communications from Momentous Institute by indicating your preferences at point of collection. Opportunities to select your preferences include the following:
  • At any point you can also click on the "Contact Us" link in the ribbon at the bottom of each web page and request to be removed from our advertising and marketing lists (U.S. mail distributions, emails or both); and
  • You may opt out of receiving marketing communications from Momentous Institute by clicking on the unsubscribe link provided in every personalized email marketing message you receive; and
  • Any marketing by Momentous Institute, or any third parties on behalf of Momentous Institute, will be conducted in accordance with applicable laws.   Please allow up to 10 business days for your email preferences to take effect. Because some promotions are developed in advance, you may still receive solicitations after we receive your preference request.
