Privacy Policy – Daily Health Digest

1. Introduction

Daily Health Digest (“we,” “us,” “our,” or “the Company”) operates the website www.dailyhealthdigest.com (the “Site”). We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring the security of your personal information.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our Site, interact with our content, or engage with our services. By accessing or using the Site, you consent to the practices described in this policy. If you do not agree with these terms, please do not use the Site.

We comply with applicable data protection laws, including but not limited to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for EU residents, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) for California residents, and other relevant U.S. federal and state laws.

2. Information We Collect

We collect information in two primary ways: information you provide directly and information collected automatically.

a) Information You Provide Voluntarily

When you voluntarily submit information through forms, comments, or other interactive features on the Site, we may collect:

Personal identifiers, such as your full name and email address;

Demographic information (e.g., age range, country, preferred language);

Contact details for newsletters or free resources;

Feedback, opinions, or other content you choose to share.

We only collect this information when you explicitly provide it, such as when subscribing to updates or requesting educational materials.

b) Information Collected Automatically

As you navigate the Site, we may automatically collect certain technical data via cookies, web beacons, and analytics tools, including:

Device information (e.g., IP address, browser type, operating system, device ID);

Usage data (e.g., pages visited, time spent on pages, referral sources);

Location data (approximate, based on IP address);

Interaction data (e.g., clicks, scrolls, and form submissions).

This data is collected in aggregated, anonymized form to improve Site functionality and user experience. We do not use it to identify individuals without your consent.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information for legitimate business purposes, including:

To provide and personalize content, such as delivering relevant health articles, newsletters, or educational videos;

To communicate with you, including sending requested materials, updates, or responses to inquiries;

To analyze Site performance, user trends, and engagement metrics;

To improve our services, troubleshoot issues, and enhance security;

To serve targeted advertising (where permitted by law) and measure ad effectiveness;

To comply with legal obligations, prevent fraud, or enforce our terms.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. Any sharing is limited to service providers who assist us in operating the Site.

4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

The Site uses cookies, pixels, and similar technologies to enhance functionality and track usage. These include:

Essential Cookies: Necessary for basic Site operations (e.g., session management).

Analytics Cookies: Provided by third parties like Google Analytics to understand traffic patterns and user behavior.

Advertising Cookies: Used for remarketing (e.g., Google Ads, Meta Pixel) to show relevant ads on other platforms.

You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may limit Site features. For more details, see our Cookie Policy (if separate).

We use tools from trusted providers:

Google Analytics (for traffic analysis);

Meta Pixel (for ad optimization);

Other partners as disclosed in our analytics reports.

5. Sharing Your Information with Third Parties

We may share your information in limited circumstances:

Service Providers: With vendors who help us operate the Site (e.g., hosting providers like AWS, email services like Mailchimp, or analytics firms). These parties are contractually bound to protect your data and use it only for specified purposes.

Advertising Partners: Aggregated or anonymized data with platforms like Google, Meta, or Taboola for campaign optimization. No personal identifiers are shared without consent.

Legal Requirements: If required by law, subpoena, or government request, or to protect our rights, safety, or property.

Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of the transaction.

We do not share personal data with unaffiliated third parties for their own marketing without your explicit opt-in consent.

6. Data Security

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your information, including:

Encryption (HTTPS/TLS) for data transmission;

Access controls and employee training;

Regular security audits and updates.

However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, and you use the Site at your own risk. In the event of a data breach, we will notify affected users and authorities as required by law.

7. Third-Party Links and Services

The Site may contain links to external websites or services (e.g., affiliate partners or social media). We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of these third parties. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing any information.

8. Data Storage and Retention

Your information is stored on secure servers in the United States and may be accessed by our global service providers. We retain data only as long as necessary for the purposes outlined above or to meet legal requirements (e.g., tax records for 7 years).

After retention periods, data is securely deleted or anonymized. You can request deletion at any time (see Section 9).
