Privacy Policy

1. Who We Are

HealthyHers operates the website at healthyhers.com as an independent digital wellness and lifestyle publication. For purposes of applicable privacy law, HealthyHers is the controller of personal information collected directly through this website. Privacy questions and requests may be sent to privacy@healthyhers.com.

2. Scope of This Policy

This policy applies to information collected when you visit HealthyHers, contact us, use sharing or engagement tools, or interact with advertising and analytics technologies on the site. It does not govern third-party websites reached through external links, including Pinterest, Facebook, X, YouTube, research databases, retailers, or other publishers.

3. Information We Collect

Information you provide

If you email us, we receive the information included in your message, such as your name, email address, company, request, and any attachments or details you choose to provide. Please do not send medical records, passwords, financial information, or other sensitive data through ordinary email.

Technical and usage information

Our hosting, security, analytics, engagement, and advertising providers may receive information such as IP address, browser and device type, operating system, referring URL, pages viewed, approximate geographic area derived from IP address or device signals, timestamps, interactions, identifiers, and diagnostic or security events. Some information is collected through cookies, local storage, pixels, tags, web beacons, or similar technologies.

Cookie choices

We store your cookie preference in your browser's local storage so the site can remember whether you accepted or rejected optional categories. More detail appears in our Cookie Policy.

4. How We Use Information

• Deliver, maintain, troubleshoot, and secure the website.
• Respond to editorial, business, legal, and privacy inquiries.
• Understand aggregate readership and improve page usefulness when Analytics is permitted.
• Provide optional favorites or engagement functions when Grow.me is permitted.
• Detect abuse, protect rights, keep records, and comply with legal obligations.
• Measure, limit, personalize where permitted, and improve advertising if advertising is enabled.
• Prevent fraud, invalid traffic, spam, abuse, and other activity that could harm the site, visitors, advertisers, or service providers.

5. Legal Bases for EEA, UK, and Swiss Visitors

Where the GDPR, UK GDPR, or similar law applies, we rely on consent for optional cookies and technologies where consent is required; legitimate interests for site security, fraud prevention, basic operations, and responding to ordinary inquiries; performance of a requested service when you ask us to take a specific step; and legal obligation where processing is required by law. See our GDPR Privacy Rights page for additional detail.

6. Cookies, Analytics, and Engagement Services

Google Analytics. Google Analytics helps us measure visits, page performance, device categories, referrals, and aggregate engagement. Google may process identifiers, IP address, approximate location, device information, page activity, and usage information under its own terms and privacy documentation.

Google disclosures. When HealthyHers uses Google services such as Google Analytics, Google AdSense, or related advertising technologies, Google may receive information automatically sent by a browser or device, including the page URL and IP address. Google explains this processing here: How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.

Grow.me. Grow.me may provide favorites and other engagement functionality and may use cookies or similar technologies. Grow.me is a service associated with Mediavine and operates under its own privacy terms.

YouTube and social platforms. Some pages embed YouTube videos or link to social sharing services. Loading an embed or choosing a social link may allow that third party to receive technical information and apply its own cookies or identifiers.

7. Advertising and Google AdSense

HealthyHers may display advertising, including Google AdSense, after the site is accepted by an advertising provider. If Google advertising is enabled, Google and other authorized vendors may use cookies, local storage, web beacons, IP addresses, device identifiers, browser information, page activity, and approximate location to deliver ads, limit how often an ad is shown, measure ad performance, detect fraud and invalid traffic, protect the advertising ecosystem, and personalize ads where permitted.

Google's use of advertising cookies and similar technologies may enable Google and its partners to serve ads based on visits to HealthyHers and other websites or apps. Google may also use automatically transmitted information, including IP address, for measurement, fraud prevention, security, general location, and advertising purposes as described in How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.

Visitors can learn about Google advertising controls at Google Ads Settings and opt out of some third-party personalized advertising through AboutAds. Where required, advertising tags will be governed by an appropriate consent management platform. For personalized ads served to visitors in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, Google requires a Google-certified consent management platform integrated with the IAB Transparency and Consent Framework. A policy page alone does not replace legally required consent.

8. How We Share Information

We do not sell personal information for money. We may disclose limited information to hosting and security providers, analytics and engagement providers selected by the visitor, advertising partners if ads are active, professional advisers, authorities where legally required, and a successor in connection with a merger, financing, reorganization, or transfer of the site. Providers are permitted to process data for their contracted services and may have independent obligations under their own policies.

9. Data Retention

We retain information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose collected, including security, support, recordkeeping, dispute resolution, and legal requirements. Email correspondence may be retained while a request remains relevant. Analytics retention is controlled through provider settings. The homepage notice acknowledgment remains in browser storage until site data is cleared.

10. International Data Transfers

HealthyHers and its providers may process information in the United States and other countries that may not provide the same privacy protections as your jurisdiction. Where required, providers may use recognized safeguards such as adequacy decisions, standard contractual clauses, or other lawful transfer mechanisms.

11. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, object to, or obtain a copy of certain personal information; withdraw consent; opt out of targeted advertising, sale, or sharing as those terms are defined by applicable law; and appeal a denied request. We may need to verify your identity and may retain information necessary to document the request. Submit requests to privacy@healthyhers.com.

12. Children's Privacy

HealthyHers is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us so we can review and delete it where appropriate. Advertising providers may apply additional protections for users under 18 where required.

13. Security

We use reasonable administrative and technical measures intended to protect information. No website, email system, storage method, or internet transmission is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

14. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy when our services, providers, or legal obligations change. The revised policy will be posted here with an updated date. Material changes may also be highlighted on the site where appropriate.
