Help My AttacksHelp My Attacks (helpmyattacks.com) is a free peer-support site for people living with anxiety and panic attacks. This page explains what information is collected when you visit, why, and the choices you have. We keep it short and plain.
What we collect
- Comments you choose to post. If you use a comment form, we receive the name you type, your comment, and the page you posted from. Please use a first name or nickname and don’t share health details you want to keep private. Comment submissions are stored by our host, Netlify (Netlify Forms). A copy of your own comment is also kept in your browser’s local storage so it shows on the page for you; you can clear it by clearing your browser’s site data.
- Basic server information. Like every website, our host automatically processes technical information such as your IP address, browser type, the page requested, and the time, to deliver the site and protect it from abuse.
- No accounts, no ads, no analytics trackers. We don’t ask you to sign up, we don’t run advertising on this site, and we don’t use Google Analytics or similar tracking tools.
Cookies and similar technologies
This site doesn’t set its own advertising or analytics cookies. Some features rely on outside services:
- Google Fonts. Our text fonts load from Google, which receives your IP address and browser information when the fonts load. See Google’s privacy policy.
- Share buttons. Share links open Facebook, X, Pinterest, LinkedIn, Reddit or WhatsApp only when you tap them. Those services then handle your information under their own policies.
- Amazon links. Our Calm tools shop and a few pages link to products on Amazon.com. When you click one of those links, Amazon may set or read cookies so it can credit the referral.
Third parties, including Amazon and other advertisers, may serve content and advertisements, collect information directly from visitors, and place or recognize cookies on visitors’ browsers. Once you’re on Amazon, Amazon’s own Privacy Notice and Cookies Notice apply. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, and you can learn about choices for interest-based advertising at optout.aboutads.info.

How we use information
We use comment submissions only to run the comment sections and keep out spam. We don’t sell personal information, and we don’t share it except with the service providers that run the site (like our host) or when the law requires it.
Keeping and deleting information
Comment submissions are kept only as long as they’re useful for the site and are removed on request. To ask us to delete a comment you posted, message us with the page and the name you used.
