You do not have to disclose any information on our site. However, while browsing some sites, you may find your needs can be better accessed by disclosing some information. The information you provide will not be sold, traded, or leased to any other organization outside of HMHF and the University of Utah, without your prior written consent.
We may use demographic information that does not personally identify you and/or information you voluntarily provide, to improve the features of the site or for general statistical purposes.
2. Information Automatically Collected and Stored
As with any site you visit on the Internet, HMHF does collect certain system information from its users. Our site automatically stores the following information during your visit:

The information collected is not associated with your name or any other information you voluntarily provide. This information is stored and used for statistical purposes that allows us to improve the quality of this site, and to better fulfill the needs of our users.
3. SMS Messaging
When you provide your mobile phone number to the Huntsman Mental Health Foundation (HMHF)—for example, through a donation form, event signup, or contact request—you consent to receive text message communications from us. Your mobile number will never be shared, sold, traded, or leased to any third party outside of HMHF and the University of Utah, without your explicit prior written consent.
We use SMS messages for the following purposes:
- Promotions such as fundraising campaigns and special event announcements.

You can expect to receive approximately one message per month, with a maximum of four messages per month depending on campaigns and events.
Standard message and data rates may apply as determined by your mobile service provider.
You may opt out of SMS communications at any time. To stop receiving messages, simply reply STOP to any message. You will receive a confirmation reply, after which no further SMS will be sent unless you choose to opt in again.
Our SMS communications are governed by all other provisions of this Privacy Policy. Your mobile number will be used exclusively for HMHF communications and remains protected under the same confidentiality commitments described throughout this policy.
4. IP Addresses
As stated above, we collect your computer’s IP address during your visit. An IP address is the number automatically assigned to your computer that allows computers and servers to recognize and communicate with each other.
