Privacy & terms

Plain-language privacy.

What we collect, why, and what we will never do with it.

Template notice for the site owner: this is a plain-language starting point, not legal advice. Before launch, have it reviewed — especially if you collect donations, operate outside the U.S., or form a nonprofit — and fill in your organisation’s legal name and contact address.

What we collect

  • Account details — display name, email and a securely hashed password, so you can post.
  • What you post — forum threads, replies and blog submissions.
  • What you send us — stories and contact messages, including optional name and email.
  • Reports you file about content.

What we don’t collect

  • Self-check answers. The PHQ-2, GAD-2 and AUDIT-C run entirely in your browser. Nothing is saved or sent.
  • We don’t sell data, run advertising trackers, or share your information with advertisers.

How we use it

To run your account, display what you choose to post, moderate the community, and reply to you. Stories are never published without your explicit, specific, written consent to the final edited version, and you can withdraw consent at any time.

Safety exception

If a moderator has a genuine belief that someone is in imminent danger and has enough information to locate them, contacting emergency services may be appropriate. This is the only circumstance in which we would act on what you share without asking you first.

Your choices

You can edit your display name, post anonymously, ask us to remove any post, or delete your account and its data by contacting us.

Where data is stored

Account and community data is stored with our database provider (Supabase) and protected with row-level security. Fonts are served by Google Fonts.

Terms of use

  • This site provides general information and peer support. It is not medical advice, diagnosis or treatment, and it is not a crisis service.
  • You’re responsible for what you post and must follow the Community Guidelines. We may remove content or accounts that don’t.
  • You keep ownership of what you write. By posting publicly you give I’M GOOD permission to display it on this site. We won’t use it elsewhere without asking.
  • Accounts are for people 18 and over.
  • The I’M GOOD Field Guide is free to read and share for non-commercial purposes with attribution.
