Who we are

The National Association for the Prevention of Attorney Suicide (“NAPAS,” “we,” “our”) is a non-profit organization based in Dallas, Texas. Our website at stopattorneysuicide.org provides research, education, and outreach related to attorney mental health. This policy explains what information we collect when you visit the site or contact us, and how we use it.

Information we collect

We collect only the information needed to operate the site and respond to people who reach out to us.

Information you provide. When you submit our contact form or email us, we receive the name, email address, and message content you choose to share. We do not require an account to read the site.

Information collected automatically. Like most websites, we log basic technical information when pages are requested — IP address, browser type, referring page, and timestamps. This information is used to operate and protect the site and is retained for a limited period.

Cookies and analytics. The site uses a small number of cookies necessary for basic operation. We may use a privacy-conscious analytics tool to understand which pages are read and how visitors navigate the site. We do not use advertising trackers or sell visitor data.

How we use information

We use the information we collect to:

• Respond to inquiries sent through the contact form
• Operate and improve the site
• Protect the site from abuse or malicious activity
• Comply with our legal obligations as a non-profit

We do not sell, rent, or trade personal information. We do not use information collected through the site for advertising.

Sharing of information

We share information only in limited circumstances:

• Service providers. Hosting, email, and form-handling services that operate the site on our behalf, under contracts that restrict their use of the information.
• Legal requirements. When required by law, court order, or to protect the rights and safety of NAPAS, our board members, or the public.

A note on confidentiality

Messages sent through this site are reviewed by our administrator and forwarded to the relevant board member. NAPAS is a research and education organization — we are not a clinical or crisis service, and communications with us are not protected by clinical confidentiality. If you are in crisis, please contact a local emergency service or your state bar’s Lawyer Assistance Program.

Data security

We use commercially reasonable measures to protect information transmitted through the site, including TLS encryption in transit. No system is fully secure, however, and we cannot guarantee that information will never be accessed by unauthorized parties.

Your choices

You may:

• Decline to submit information by not using the contact form
• Use browser controls to block or delete cookies (some features may not work)
• Ask us what information we hold about you, or ask us to delete it, by writing to the address below

Children’s privacy

This site is intended for legal professionals and adult audiences. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13. If we learn that we have inadvertently done so, we will delete it.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The “last updated” date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Material changes will be noted on the site.
