This Privacy Policy explains how Healthy Living Digest (“we”, “us”, “our”), the owner of healthylivingdigest.com, collects, uses and protects personal information when you visit this website or subscribe to our newsletter. We aim to comply with the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.
Who we are
Healthy Living Digest is the data controller for personal information collected through this website. You can contact us at info@healthylivingdigest.com.
Information we collect
Newsletter signup. If you join our mailing list we collect your email address, your first name (if you choose to give it), and the IP address and date and time of your signup.
Contact messages. If you email us or use a contact form, we collect the details you send so that we can reply.
Automatically collected information. Like most websites, our web server and the services we use may log your IP address, browser type, device, pages viewed and referring page. We use cookies and similar technologies, described below.
How we use your information
- To send you our weekly newsletter and updates about our articles, if you have signed up and confirmed your email address.
- To respond to your messages.
- To keep the website secure, understand how it is used and improve it.
- To show advertising that helps fund the website.
Our legal basis
We send newsletters on the basis of your consent, which you give when you subscribe and confirm your email address. We process other information on the basis of our legitimate interests in running, securing and improving the website, or, where required, your consent (for example for non-essential cookies).
Newsletter
We use double opt-in: after you sign up, we email you a link to confirm your subscription. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link at the bottom of every email, or by emailing us. Subscriber details are stored in our email marketing system on this website, and emails are delivered through our email delivery provider.
Cookies, advertising and analytics
This website uses cookies and similar technologies. Some are essential for the site to work. Others are used for advertising and measurement.
Google AdSense. We use Google AdSense to display ads. Google and its partners may use cookies and similar technologies to show personalised or non-personalised ads based on your visits to this and other websites. You can manage personalised advertising in your Google Ad Settings and learn more about how Google uses data at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
Embedded videos. Some pages embed YouTube videos. YouTube (Google) may set cookies and collect information when you load or play an embedded video. See Google’s Privacy Policy.
You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect how the site works.
Who we share information with
We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with service providers who help us run the website, host it, send email and show advertising, and where the law requires it. These providers process information on our behalf or under their own privacy policies.
International transfers
Some of our service providers, including Google, may process information outside the UK. Where this happens, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as adequacy regulations or standard contractual clauses.
How long we keep information
We keep newsletter subscriber details until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete them. After you unsubscribe we may keep a minimal record so that we do not email you again. We keep other information only for as long as it is needed for the purposes above.
Your rights
You have the right to access the personal information we hold about you, to have it corrected or deleted, to restrict or object to its use, to withdraw consent at any time, and to request a copy of your information in a portable format. To exercise any of these rights, email us at info@healthylivingdigest.com. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ico.org.uk).
Security
We take reasonable technical and organisational steps to protect your information, but no website or transmission over the internet is completely secure.
Children
This website and our newsletter are not directed at children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect their personal information.
Links to other websites
Our articles may link to other websites. We are not responsible for their content or privacy practices, so please read their policies.
