How Stronger Than You Think (“STYT”) ,  a private philanthropy, protects your privacy

We at STYT believe that anyone who visits our website has the right to remain anonymous.

Accordingly, we do not collect any information about you without your informed consent. If you do not want us to know your identity or anything about your interests, you remain welcome to the information available onscreen on our site.

If you choose to sign up to participate in an online survey, you are assured that your voluntary identification will not be shared for any marketing purpose.

We do use mailing houses and third-party email automation services for distribution of our newsletters, but we insist these mailing houses, and third parties agree not to use our lists for any secondary purpose. STYT does not sell, lend or rent, or give your name and address or any other personally identifiable information about you to anyone. If you supply us with any information, you may direct us to delete it at any time.

What about “cookies”? “Cookies” are data packets stored on your device that contain information about you so that others can track your interests or remember your instructions. Because many people think these devices can be a threat to their privacy, we are very careful and limited in our use of cookies. We only use a session cookie to authenticate those visitors who choose to register to subscribe to our newsletters. STYT does not use its own cookies in other areas of the site, but Google (Search functions and videos from YouTube) sessions do use their own cookies. To learn how often our site is being visited and what pages our audience finds most useful, we review Internet Protocol addresses in the aggregate that are not linked to any personal information that can identify any individual or family.

Please be aware that our site contains links to many other sites that may not be as stringent as STYT is about guarding your identity. We cannot be responsible for their practices. When you leave our site to link to another, we urge you to examine the stated policy of every other site for assurance that no personally identifiable information about you can be collected or shared without your consent.

We urge parents to tell their children to never give out names, addresses or phone numbers, without permission, when using the Internet.

Ours is the most privacy-protective policy we can devise while retaining the ability to respond to your requests. If you have questions about it, or suggestions to further protect visitors like you, please contact info@strongerthanyouthink.org.   If we want to use the information you have given us in a different way, we will contact you by e-mail and ask permission first.

Our Guiding Privacy Principles:

You have the right to remain anonymous.

You can rest assured that STYT will do nothing with the information you send us beyond its specific purpose without your consent.
