Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you use this website, how we use it, and the choices you have. Because our content covers sensitive topics, we take a deliberately minimal approach to data collection.

Information we collect

• Contact form: if you use our Contact form, we receive the name, email address, and message you submit, solely to respond to you.
• Newsletter and "notify me" requests: if you subscribe or ask to be notified about a topic, we store your email address (and, where relevant, the topic you asked about) so we can contact you about new content.
• Free tools: our health calculators and quizzes run entirely in your browser. The numbers you enter are not sent to our servers.
• Comments: if comments are enabled and you leave one, standard WordPress comment data (name, email, IP address, and browser user agent) is stored to help detect spam.
• Analytics: if enabled, we use Google Analytics to understand aggregate traffic patterns. See "Cookies and analytics" below.

Cookies and analytics

We use cookies as described in our Cookie Policy. Where Google Analytics is active, it is only loaded after you accept analytics cookies via our cookie consent banner; you can change your choice at any time using the "Cookie Settings" link in the footer.

Advertising

This site displays advertising through Google AdSense, which may use cookies to show relevant ads. You can learn more about Google's advertising practices and manage your ad personalization settings at Google's Ads Settings page.

How we use your information

We use the information above only to operate and improve this website, respond to your messages, and send content you have asked to receive. We do not sell your personal information.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you, and to withdraw consent for analytics or marketing at any time. Contact us to make a request.

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.
