Privacy Notice

This notice explains how Health Atlas collects, uses, discloses, and protects personal information when you visit health-atlas.site, contact us, or interact with our content and marketplace links.

Who is responsible for your information

Health Atlas operates this website and is responsible for the personal information described in this notice. For privacy questions or requests, email our Privacy Contact at support@health-atlas.site.

Information we collect

• Information you provide: your email address and the contents of messages you send to us, including editorial corrections, partnership inquiries, and privacy requests.
• Technical and usage information: IP address, approximate location, browser and device type, operating system, referring pages, pages viewed, interactions, timestamps, and diagnostic or security logs.
• Advertising and consent information: advertising identifiers, cookie or similar-technology identifiers, consent choices, and information used to measure, limit, or personalize ads where permitted.
• Marketplace and affiliate interactions: the page or link selected and referral information needed to attribute an outbound visit. Purchases on a third-party seller’s website are governed by that seller’s privacy practices.

We do not ask you to submit medical records or other sensitive health information through this website. Please do not include sensitive health details in an email to us.

Why we use information

• to operate, secure, troubleshoot, and improve the website;
• to respond to messages, correction requests, and privacy requests;
• to understand aggregate readership and content performance;
• to display, measure, and control advertising and affiliate referrals;
• to remember consent and site preferences; and
• to comply with law, enforce our terms, and protect users and the website.

Depending on your location and the activity, we rely on your consent, our legitimate interests in operating and securing an informational website, steps taken at your request, and compliance with legal obligations. Where consent is required for non-essential cookies or similar technologies, you may refuse or withdraw it without affecting strictly necessary site functions.

Services and parties that receive information

We use service providers that process information for the purposes above, including:

• Google: Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, and Google AdSense for tag management, audience measurement, consent signals, and advertising. Learn how Google uses information from sites that use its services and review Google’s Privacy Policy.
• Automattic: WordPress, Jetpack, and WooCommerce functionality, performance, security, analytics, and marketplace features. Review Automattic’s Privacy Notice.
• Hosting and infrastructure providers: hosting, content delivery, backups, security, and technical support.
• Affiliate networks and third-party sellers: referral attribution and fulfillment after you choose to leave Health Atlas for an external offer.

We may also disclose information when required by law, to protect rights or safety, or as part of a business reorganization. We do not sell personal information for money. Some privacy laws may define personalized advertising or disclosure of identifiers for cross-context behavioral advertising as a “sale,” “sharing,” or targeted advertising; where applicable, you may opt out through our consent or privacy-choice controls or by contacting us.

Cookies and privacy choices

Our Cookie Policy explains the categories of cookies and similar technologies used on this website. Where required, non-essential analytics and advertising technologies are controlled by a consent banner. The banner provides options to accept, reject, or customize non-essential categories and a way to revisit your choices.

Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose collected, including responding to requests, maintaining security and business records, meeting legal obligations, and resolving disputes. Retention for analytics, advertising, and third-party cookies depends on our settings and the relevant provider; more detail and provider links appear in the Cookie Policy.

International processing

Our providers may process information in countries other than the country where you live. Where required, we and our providers use recognized safeguards for international transfers.

Your privacy rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access, confirmation of processing, correction, deletion, portability, information about disclosure, restriction or objection, and withdrawal of consent. Residents of certain U.S. states may also have rights to opt out of sale, sharing, or targeted advertising and to appeal a denied request. You will not be discriminated against for exercising an applicable privacy right.

Submit a request to support@health-atlas.site. Describe the request and the country or state where you live. We may need to verify your identity and authority before responding. You may also complain to the data-protection authority where you live.

Children’s privacy

Health Atlas is intended for a general adult audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided information to us, contact us so we can review and delete it where appropriate.

Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect information. No internet service can guarantee absolute security.

Changes to this notice

We may update this notice when our services or legal obligations change. We will post the revised notice here and change the “Last updated” date.
