Your answers are yours.

Your screening answers stay in your browser

We do not send your answers or individual score to a server, save them in a database, or attach them to a referral. They stay in memory while you use the page. We do not save screening responses in cookies or browser storage.

Refreshing or leaving the page clears the active check. If you print or save your results, you control that copy. Consider where you save it if you are using a shared device.

Simple traffic totals

We keep daily page-load totals by approximate U.S. state to understand how widely the site is used. Loads with an unknown location are counted separately; known locations outside the U.S. are excluded. These totals contain no IP addresses, visitor identifiers, screening answers, or scores. We use no tracking cookies or fingerprints for these counts.

A small record of portal referrals

When a visitor follows a link to the Better Behavioral intake portal, the referral system records the date and time, the selected state, and the destination portal version. Each record also identifies Check My Mental Health as the referring website and resource. It does not identify which assessment or page you used. An internal record number identifies the click, not the person.

We also note whether the connection appears to come from the U.S., outside the U.S., or an unknown location to help review referral counts. We do not save the IP address or precise location, and this estimate does not restrict access to care.

The referral record does not contain your name, contact details, IP address, browser fingerprint, visitor ID, questionnaire answers, or score. Repeat clicks are counted as clicks; we do not build visitor profiles or match these events to patient records.

Other resource links are untracked

Links to national and state resources, crisis support, and telephone or text services go directly to those destinations. We do not record clicks on them. This site does not include advertising pixels, session replay, or third-party analytics scripts.

Once you leave this site, the destination’s own privacy practices apply. A care provider may ask for personal information as part of intake. That information is separate from this site’s screening experience.

Hosting and technical information

Our hosting provider, Vercel, processes connection information, including IP addresses, to deliver and protect the website and estimate general location. Hosting and security systems may keep technical logs. These are separate from our traffic totals and referral records. Your screening answers and scores are not sent to these systems.
