What we collect
You can read and explore this site without creating an account. Like almost all websites, our hosting infrastructure may automatically process technical data needed to deliver pages securely and reliably (for example, IP address, browser type, timestamps, and requested URLs). That processing is for operation and security of the service, not for selling personal data or running cross-site ad profiling on this site.
Helpline and chat
Conversations are confidential. RfR keeps what it needs to run, support and improve the helpline, and does not sell or share it. If you schedule a conversation, you provide what contact information is needed to connect with you. We do not use this data for any other purpose.
Your choices
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict certain personal information, or to object to certain processing.
We are in compliance with the requirements of COPPA (Childrens Online Privacy Protection Act), we do not collect any information from anyone under 13 years of age. Our website, products and services are all directed to people who are at least 13 years old or older.

Agreement
By accessing or using this website (“recoveringfromreligion.org”), you agree to these Terms & Conditions. If you do not agree, do not use the site. We may update these terms from time to time; the date above will change when we do. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
Not professional advice
RfR offers peer support. Our services are for general information only. It is not medical, mental health, legal, or other professional advice. If you are in crisis or need immediate help, contact local emergency services or a qualified professional. Nothing here replaces a relationship with a licensed clinician, attorney, or other qualified provider.
Accounts and acceptable use
Some of our services are provided through third-party social platforms (YouTube, Zoom, Meetup, Slack, Discord, etc.) where you can maintain a personal account. Your relationship with such services is governed by their respective policies. RfR does not maintain “client” accounts, but you may be asked to provide limited contact information such as when scheduling a conversation. You agree to provide accurate information where relevant. You must not misuse the site, attempt to gain unauthorized access to systems or data, interfere with other users, scrape the site in a way that harms performance or violates applicable law, or use the site for unlawful, harassing, or harmful purposes.

The site’s design, branding, compilation of listings, and original text we provide are owned by Recovering from Religion or its licensors and are protected by applicable intellectual property laws. You may not copy, modify, or distribute our proprietary materials without permission, except as allowed by law (for example, fair use) or as needed for ordinary personal browsing. Third-party sites and materials retain their own owners’ rights.
