Privacy is especially important when working in the reproductive health field. In part, we know that a number of patients that reach out may be experiencing domestic violence from a family member or partner. We also know that pregnant people across the country are unjustly criminalized for their pregnancy outcomes. No matter the circumstances, we want patients to have confidence that we will protect their private health information with the utmost dignity, care, and respect.
Abortion Fund of Ohio (AFO) values your right to access our website privately & safely. This was created to inform you of our policies around your personal information.
Collection & Information Use
AFO collects your information when you voluntarily elect to receive our emails, sign up as a volunteer, submit an intake form, call our helplines, or complete any other form on our site. When completing these forms, you may be asked to enter personal information such as your name, email address, mailing address, or phone number. This also includes any other information you choose to provide to us, such as interest in volunteering, information about your pregnancy, and other information related to your request. You are always free to refuse to provide personal information, but it may result in AFO unable to provide the requested support or service (like sending email updates or connecting you with a clinic).
AFO uses cookies, web beacons, and similar technology from third-party partners like Google Analytics to measure our website’s efficacy and for advertisement services. Information we collect from you is never sold, rented, or shared with third parties. This does not include trusted third parties who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or servicing you, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential. We would need, for example, to communicate with the abortion clinic you’ve made an appointment with in order to fund your abortion. We don’t share any personally identifying information collected publicly or to other third parties, except if required by law.
