Introduction
The National Association of State Mental Health Program Directors (NASMHPD) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting it. This policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard information when you visit our website.
During your visit, you may provide information in two ways:
- Anonymous Information collected automatically as you browse.
- Personal Information you knowingly provide to us.
This policy describes how we handle both.
Information We Collect
1. Personal Information You Provide
This is information that personally identifies you. NASMHPD will not obtain this information unless you choose to provide it.
Examples of when you might provide personal information include:
- Sending us an email that requires a response.
- Logging into the member section.
- Registering for events, such as our annual meeting.
- Adjusting your contact information in our system.
This information may include your name, email address, ZIP code, or other contact details.
2. Anonymous Information (Analytics)
As you browse our website, our systems collect non-personal information about your visit. This information is anonymous and is not associated with you personally.
We monitor statistics such as:
- The number of visitors to our site.
- The pages visited.
- The browsers used to access the site.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect for the following purposes:
- To improve our website: We use anonymous statistics to monitor site performance and make it easier for visitors to use.
- To respond to you: We use your personal information to answer your email inquiries or provide member-specific services.
- To process registrations: We use your information to register you for events and manage your attendance.
- To manage accounts: We use login information to secure our member section.
Sharing Information with Third Parties
We are committed to not selling or renting your personal information. However, we may share information in the following limited circumstances:
- Service Providers: We may share information with trusted third-party vendors who perform services on our behalf (e.g., website hosting, email distribution). They are contractually obligated to protect your data and are prohibited from using it for their own purposes.
- Legal Requirements: We may disclose information if required to do so by law or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with legal processes.
Cookies and Analytics
Like most websites, we use technologies such as cookies and web server logs to gather the anonymous information described above.
A cookie is a small data file stored on your computer that helps us analyze web traffic. Cookies do not collect personal information. You can set your browser to refuse cookies or to alert you when cookies are being sent, though some parts of our site may not function properly without them.
Data Security
We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure.
Third-Party Links (Internet Disclaimer)
Our site contains links to other websites as a convenience to you. These sites are not under the control of NASMHPD. We can make no representation concerning the content of these sites, nor does a link serve as an endorsement by NASMHPD.
Please be aware that the privacy protections afforded on our site may not be afforded on linked sites.

The site’s content is solely the responsibility of NASMHPD and does not necessarily represent the position of the United States federal government, including the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) or its centers.
