Privacy Policy

This page explains information used by Men Too Movement, what you choose to share, and how to ask about your information.

Content updated: September 7, 2026

Information you provide

• Accounts: registration and sign-in use an email address and account credentials. Profile fields can include your name, display name, biography, state, and choices about newsletters and public sharing.
• Community participation: posts, replies, reactions, chat messages, reports, and moderation records are associated with account identifiers and times.
• Inquiries: an email or other message to MTM includes your contact information and what you choose to send. Please leave out case files, children’s identities, passwords, verification codes, and full payment details.

How information is used

Information supports sign-in, profile choices, community participation, resource access, moderation, and replies to inquiries. Authorized site operators may review account information, reports, and related records to manage the service and investigate problems.

Committee interest and organization records

If you express interest in a committee or volunteer role, an authorized MTM administrator may record the name and contact details you provide, how you were introduced, your contact preferences, follow-up notes, and an appointment or withdrawal decision. These records are restricted to authorized administrators and are not a public member directory. Expressing interest does not grant a role or access to member information.

MTM also keeps organization task records and references to filing or decision evidence. The change history records the administrator, date, status and fields changed. Withdrawing interest or archiving a task does not automatically erase the stored record. Use Contact for questions about your information or to change your contact preference.

Your account and public profile are different

Your account email and private profile fields are not part of the public profile display. Public profile sharing is a separate choice. When you opt in, the public profile uses your chosen display name, biography, and permitted profile image. Choose a display name that does not reveal your email address or identify other people.

You can use Stop sharing public profile on your profile page to withdraw that choice. This does not delete your account, remove your posts or messages, or remove information you typed into public content. Copies made by other people may remain.

Optional map participation

Where the community map is enabled, participation is a separate choice from public profile sharing. You choose whether an eligible thread contributes to a state-level total. The displayed totals are grouped and rounded; they do not show individual member pins, names, thread links, or precise addresses.

Use the map controls on your thread to withdraw participation. Published totals may take time to update. Changing this choice does not remove a location you wrote in a post. Do not include a home address or another person’s location in community content.

Public and shared community spaces

Public forum content can be read and copied by visitors. Chat is shared with other signed-in members; it is not confidential counseling or private messaging. Presence and typing indicators can show that an account is online or participating.

Use only the personal detail needed for a constructive conversation. Do not publish children’s identifying information, case numbers, medical records, or private messages identifying others. See the Code of Conduct.

Display changes and stored records

When moderators remove a chat message, its shared text is replaced with a removal notice. The original text is retained in restricted moderation records for authorized administrators to review and, when appropriate, restore. Reports and other moderation records can also remain for review. Closing a report does not by itself remove the content it refers to.

Signing out or stopping public profile sharing is not an account-deletion request. For questions about access, correction, stored records, or deletion, use Contact. Do not assume a completed display change removes backups, older copies, or copies held by other people.

Browser storage and technical information

The site uses browser storage to support sign-in and preferences. Hosting and service providers also receive technical information needed to deliver requests, such as an IP address and browser information. Browser privacy settings can affect these services; clearing local storage can sign you out.

Services and external links

MTM uses Google Firebase for account and community features. See Firebase’s privacy and security information. Pages may load fonts, images, media, or other resources from external providers. Visiting an outside resource or playing externally hosted media can send a request to that provider, whose own terms apply.

A sponsorship inquiry does not give a sponsor access to member lists, private reports, or case information. Contact MTM about any proposed sharing or reuse of a participant’s story.

Payments

When payment options are available, checkout links use Stripe. Review the recipient and payment terms before proceeding, and see Stripe’s privacy information. Do not send payment card details to MTM’s general inbox. Questions about receipts or payment terms belong on Payments and Receipts.

Account security

Use a unique password, keep verification codes private, and sign out on shared devices. No online service can promise complete security or anonymity. Contact MTM if you believe an account or page is exposing information inappropriately.

Your choices

• Review and edit available account fields on your profile.
• Choose whether to share a public profile and whether to participate in the community map; these are separate controls.
• Keep completed worksheets on your own device or paper. You do not need to upload them to use the educational material.
• Use reporting controls where available and Contact for account or privacy questions.

Children’s information

MTM’s community is not intended for children under 13. Do not post children’s identifying information. If you believe a child has provided personal information here, use Contact with a brief description and the page address; do not resend the identifying material.

Policy changes

This page can be updated as services and practices change. Check the content date when reviewing your choices.
