The Gathering Point (“we,” “us,” “our”) respects your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect through ourgatheringpoint.com and quiz.ourgatheringpoint.com (our website, assessments, forms, and scheduling pages), how we use it, and the choices you have.
Who we are
The Gathering Point is a faith-centered, men-first counseling, coaching, and wellness center open to everyone, with locations in Chicago, Illinois and Dallas, Texas, and Zoom sessions for Chicagoland and Dallas-Fort Worth.
Information we collect
- Contact details you give us: your name, email address, phone number, and contact preferences.
- What you share in our forms, assessments, and consultation requests, such as the topic you want help with and your answers to assessment questions.
- Scheduling details when you book a free 15-minute conversation.
- Your consent choices, such as whether you agreed to receive emails or text messages.
- Basic website information collected automatically, such as browser type, pages visited, and cookies.
How we use your information
- To respond to your request and schedule your conversation.
- To show you your assessment result and send you follow-up emails.
- To send appointment reminders and program updates if you agreed to receive them.
- To improve our website and programs.
- To keep our website secure and meet legal obligations.
Text messages (SMS)
If you check the text message consent box on one of our forms and give us your mobile number, you agree to receive text messages from The Gathering Point about your consultation request, appointment reminders, and information about our programs and events. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP at any time to opt out. Reply HELP for help. Consent to receive text messages is not a condition of any purchase or service.
We do not sell, rent, or share your mobile phone number or text message opt-in information with third parties or affiliates for their marketing or promotional purposes.
Who we share information with
We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with service providers who help us run our website, scheduling, email, and text messaging, and who may use it only to provide those services to us. We may also share information when the law requires it or to protect someone’s safety.
Emergencies and sensitive information
The Gathering Point is not an emergency or crisis-response service, and our forms, assessments, email, and text messages are not monitored in real time. Please do not use them to share emergency information. If you or someone else is in immediate danger, call 911. You can also call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline). Veterans and service members can call 988 and press 1, or text 838255.
Our assessments are reflection tools, not an evaluation of any kind, and they are not a substitute for care from a qualified professional. We read your answers as a starting point for a conversation.
Your choices
- Emails: use the unsubscribe link in any email we send.
- Text messages: reply STOP at any time.
- Your information: contact us to ask what we have, to correct it, or to ask us to delete it.
- Cookies: you can control cookies in your browser settings.
How long we keep information
We keep your information for as long as we need it to serve you, keep our records, and meet legal obligations, unless you ask us to delete it sooner.
Security
We use reasonable safeguards to protect your information. No website or message system is perfectly secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Children
Our website is for adults. It is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top shows when it was last changed.
