1. Overview

This Privacy Policy describes how Relief Blog (“we,” “us,” or “our”) — a website operated by two private individuals — collects, uses, and shares information about you when you visit https://blog.periodreliefnow.com (the “Website” or “Blog”). This Blog covers women’s health topics including menstrual health, hormonal conditions, and related research.

We take your privacy seriously. We are not a corporation or commercial healthcare organization. We aim to collect only the minimal data required to operate and improve this Blog. However, we use a number of third-party tools and services — each described in detail in Section 4 below — which may collect data according to their own policies.

We use this information only to respond to you or to send the content you requested. We do not sell your personal information.

6. Special Notice Regarding Health Information

This Blog covers sensitive health topics including menstruation, hormonal disorders, pain management, and reproductive health. We do not operate as a healthcare provider and are NOT a covered entity under HIPAA or any equivalent health data protection law.

PLEASE DO NOT submit your personal medical history, diagnoses, prescriptions, or other sensitive health information through comments, contact forms, or email. We cannot guarantee the security of such information and are not equipped to handle it as a healthcare provider would.

8. Data Security

We implement reasonable security measures including the Loginizer plugin (brute-force login protection), HTTPS encryption provided by our Hostinger hosting plan, and regular website backups via WPvivid. However, no internet transmission or electronic storage method is 100% secure.

As a small personal blog, our security resources are limited. We recommend that you never share sensitive personal information through this Website.
