Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 15, 2026

The Indiana Patient Preferences Coalition (“we,” “us,” or “our”), a volunteer group of stakeholders, operates indianapost.org. The site offers advance care planning resources for Indiana residents, including advance directive forms, Indiana POST (Physician Orders for Scope of Treatment) forms, and related guides. This policy explains what personal information we collect through the site, how we use it, and the choices you have. It applies to everyone who visits, including patients, families, and health care providers.

Information We Collect

Our website offers downloadable forms and resources. It does not ask you to enter personal or health information online, and we do not collect, store, or have access to the forms you download or fill out. We are not a health care provider, and we do not keep medical records.

Automatically

Like most websites, we receive technical information through server logs, cookies, and analytics tools, including:

  • Your IP address
  • Your browser and device type
  • The pages you view and the files you download, such as which forms you open
  • The page that referred you
  • Your approximate location

This information does not include your name or the contents of any form you complete. Because the pages you view can reflect personal topics, we use this information only in summary form to understand how the site is used.

If You Contact Us

If you contact us directly, we collect the details you choose to share, such as your name, email address, and message. Please do not include medical details or other sensitive information when you write to us.

How We Use Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Understand which resources are most useful and how to improve the website
  • Keep the website secure and prevent abuse
  • Respond to questions and requests we receive
  • Meet our legal obligations

Who We Share Information With

We share information only with:

  • Service providers. These are companies that help us run our website, such as our website host and Google, which provides our analytics tools.
  • Authorities and advisors. We may disclose information when the law requires it or when we need to protect our rights or our website.

We do not sell your personal information.

Other Websites

Our website links to other sites, including state government and national resources about advance care planning. Those sites have their own privacy policies, and we are not responsible for how they handle your information.

Your Forms and Your Records

The forms on this site are for you to download, complete, and share with your family and health care providers. We do not receive them. Where you keep them, and who you share them with, is up to you. For help with your own medical records or a specific medical decision, please talk with your health care provider.

Cookies and Analytics

We use cookies and similar technologies to keep the website working and to understand how it is used, with Google Analytics through Google Site Kit. When you first visit, a banner asks whether you accept cookies, and analytics stay off until you accept. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, we treat it as a request to opt out of the sale or sharing of your information.

Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live, including California, Indiana, and other states with privacy laws, you may have the right to:

  • Know what personal information we hold about you
  • Ask us to delete your personal information
  • Ask us to correct information that is wrong
  • Opt out of the sale or sharing of your information

We will not treat you differently for using these rights.

To make a request, email us at the address below. We may need to verify your identity first, and we respond to verified requests within 45 days. You can also use an authorized agent to make a request for you. We honor these requests from all visitors the same way, regardless of state.

If you have only browsed our website and have not contacted us, the information we hold about you is limited to anonymous traffic data that we cannot link back to you, and we will tell you so.

Data Retention

We keep information for as long as we need it to respond to you and to meet legal requirements. Analytics data is kept according to the retention settings in our Google account.

Security

We use reasonable safeguards, including encrypted connections and limited access to our systems. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. Please do not send medical records, Social Security numbers, or other sensitive details through our website or by regular email.

Children’s Privacy

Our website is intended for adults, including patients, family members, and health care providers. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 16, and we do not sell or share it. If you believe a child has sent us information, contact us and we will delete it.

Visitors Outside the United States

Our website is operated from the United States and is intended for Indiana residents and visitors here. If you visit from another country, your information is processed and stored in the United States, where privacy laws may differ from those where you live.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top shows when it last changed, and we will post a notice on the site if we make a material change.
