Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 19, 2026

LifeSkills Cares, Inc. (“LifeSkills Cares”, “we”, “us”) runs this website to offer continuing education, publish Black Mental Health Today, and support the Black Mental Health Symposium. This policy explains what personal information we collect, why we collect it, and the choices you have.

Information you give us

• When you subscribe: your name, email address and the topics you tell us you’re interested in.
• When you contact us or fill in a form: your name, email address, and anything else that form asks for, such as your organization, phone number, professional credentials, an article proposal or an uploaded document.
• When you enroll in a course or become a member: your account details, course progress, test results and certificates. Payments are handled by our payment processor; we never see or store your full card number.

Information collected automatically

Like most websites, ours records basic technical information such as your IP address, browser type and the pages you visit. Our website software and security tools use cookies and similar technology to keep the site working, remember you while you’re signed in, and block spam submissions.

How we use your information

• To send you the newsletter, magazine issues and announcements you asked for
• To answer your questions and process form submissions
• To deliver courses, track completion and issue continuing education certificates
• To keep records required by our accrediting bodies
• To improve the site and protect it from spam and abuse

Who we share it with

We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with the services that help us run this organization, and only as far as they need it:

• Email delivery and mailing lists, to send newsletters and the emails our forms generate
• Payment processing, for course purchases, memberships and donations
• Website hosting and security, to run and protect the site
• Accrediting bodies, where continuing education records must be reported or made available

We may also disclose information if the law requires it, or to protect the rights and safety of our community.

How long we keep it

We keep subscriber information until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete it. Continuing education records are kept for as long as our accrediting bodies require, so that we can verify your credits later. Form submissions are kept while they’re useful for the purpose you sent them.

Your choices

• Unsubscribe at any time using the link at the bottom of any email we send.
• Ask for a copy of the personal information we hold about you.
• Ask us to correct or delete it. We may need to keep certificate and course records to meet accreditation requirements.
• Control cookies through your browser settings, though some parts of the site may not work properly without them.

Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under laws such as the California Consumer Privacy Act or the GDPR. Contact us and we’ll help.

Children

This site is intended for professionals and adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has given us information, contact us and we’ll delete it.

Security

We use reasonable safeguards to protect your information, including encrypted connections and access controls. No website can promise perfect security, but we take this seriously and review our practices.

Changes to this policy

If we make significant changes, we’ll post the updated policy here with a new date at the top.
