Privacy Policy

Community Gateway ("we", "us") is powered by the Help Keep Me Out The Streets Initiative. We are committed to protecting your privacy and handling your information responsibly.

Information We Collect

We collect information you provide through intake forms, registration, and contact forms, including name, contact details, location, needs, and consent preferences. We do not ask for unnecessary sensitive information during basic account registration.

How We Use Information

We use your information to match you with resources, programs, and providers; to create referrals (with your consent); to follow up on your progress; and to improve our services. We never sell your data.

Data Sharing & Consent

We only share your information with providers or partners when you provide explicit consent for a referral. Sensitive constituent information is never displayed in public listings, directories, confirmation emails, or dashboard summaries.

Data Security

We use a managed authentication provider for secure password storage and session management. Passwords are never stored in plain text. Access to records is controlled by role-based permissions.

Your Rights

You may opt out of nonessential communications at any time, request access to your information, and revoke consent. To exercise these rights, contact us at info@communitygatewayinititive.org.

Demonstration Data

Demonstration records are clearly labeled and kept separate from production data. Demo data does not trigger real external notifications.
