This Privacy Policy explains what information Health Clarity Notes collects when you visit healthclaritynotes.com, how that information is used, and what choices you have. The site is a small informational health website. We keep data collection to a minimum and we do not sell personal information.
By using this site, you agree to the practices described in this policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.
Information we collect
We collect very little information directly. Most readers can read every page of this site without giving us any personal information at all.
If you use the contact form or write to us by email, we receive the details you choose to send, such as your name, your email address and the text of your message. We use those details only to read and reply to your message.
Like most websites, our hosting and security tools automatically record standard technical information when you visit, such as your internet protocol address, your browser type, the pages you viewed and the date and time of your visit. This information is used to keep the site secure and working, and to understand overall traffic in general terms.
Comments
If comments are enabled on an article and you leave a comment, we collect the data shown in the comment form, together with your internet protocol address and browser details, which help with spam detection. Your comment and the name you provide may be shown publicly on the page after approval.
An anonymised string created from your email address may be provided to an avatar service to check whether you use it, and your profile picture may then appear next to your approved comment. If you leave a comment, the comment and its related data are retained as described in the data retention section below.
Please do not post personal health details about yourself or anyone else in a comment. Comments are public, and this site cannot treat anything posted in a comment as private or confidential.
Cookies
This site uses cookies, which are small text files placed on your device by your browser. Cookies help the site work, help us understand how readers use the site, and support advertising as described below.
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you block cookies, delete cookies already stored, or ask before a cookie is placed. If you block cookies, some features of the site may not work as intended, although the articles will remain readable.
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand how readers use this site. Google Analytics places cookies on your device and collects information such as the pages you visit, how long you spend on a page, the general area you are browsing from and the type of device and browser you use. This information is reported to us in combined form and helps us decide which topics to cover and how to improve the site.
We do not use Google Analytics to identify individual readers, and we do not combine its reports with personal information you send us through the contact form. You can learn how Google uses data from sites that use its services on the Google Privacy Policy page. You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics opt out browser add on, which is available from Google.
Advertising and Google AdSense
This site may display advertising served by Google AdSense. Google and its partners use advertising cookies to serve ads based on your visits to this site and to other sites on the internet. These cookies allow Google and its partners to show you ads that are more likely to be relevant to your interests.
Google uses advertising cookies to personalise ads where you have allowed personalised advertising, and to measure how ads perform. You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings, where you can review and change your advertising choices. You can also learn more about how Google uses cookies in advertising on the Google Privacy Policy page.
Other advertising or technology partners, if used in future, may also place cookies when their content or advertisements appear on this site. Their use of cookies is governed by their own privacy policies.
Advertising on this site does not influence our editorial content. The guides on this site are written and checked in the same way whether or not a page carries advertising.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content from other websites, such as videos, images or social posts. Embedded content from another website behaves in exactly the same way as if you had visited that other website directly.
Those websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional tracking of their own, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content, including tracking your interaction if you have an account with that website and are logged in to it. We do not control the privacy practices of other websites, and we encourage you to read their privacy policies.
Who we share your data with
We do not sell your personal information. We share data only where it is needed to run the site.
Service providers who host the site, protect it from spam and attacks, and provide analytics and advertising services receive the technical data needed to perform those functions. If you use the contact form or email us, your message passes through standard email and website hosting systems in order to reach us.
If you request a password reset for a site account, your internet protocol address may be included in the reset email. We may also disclose information if the law requires it.
How long we retain your data
Messages sent through the contact form or by email are kept for as long as needed to respond and to keep a reasonable record of correspondence, and are then deleted.
If you leave a comment, the comment and its related data are retained indefinitely. This is so that follow up comments can be recognised and approved automatically instead of being held for review each time. You may ask us to delete your comment as described in the rights section below.
Technical logs created by hosting and security tools are kept for a limited period for security and troubleshooting, and are then removed or anonymised.
Your rights over your data
You have rights over the personal information we hold about you. You may ask us what personal information we hold, ask us to correct it, and ask us to delete it. You may also object to or ask us to limit how we use it, where the law gives you that right.
To make a request, contact us through the Contact page or by email. We will respond within a reasonable time. Some information may need to be kept where the law requires us to keep it, or where it is needed for security purposes. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal or security reasons.
Where your data is sent
This site is intended for readers in the United States, but the services used to host, analyse and advertise on the site may process data on servers located in other countries. Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. By using the site, you understand that your information may be transferred and processed in places where privacy laws differ from those of your home area.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will change the date at the top of this page. We encourage you to check this page occasionally so that you stay informed about how we handle information.
