Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains what information Health Trends Brief (the “Site,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using the Site, you accept these practices. If we change this policy, we will post the new version on this page.
1. About the Site
Health Trends Brief publishes information about health and wellness. The Site may also let you sign up voluntarily to receive emails or text messages with content, updates, and promotional offers.
We promote products and services from other companies, including as an affiliate, and may earn a commission on purchases made through our links. We don’t manufacture or sell these products, and no sale or payment is processed on this Site. Purchases take place on third-party platforms, which are responsible for collecting and protecting your payment details.
2. Information We Collect
A. Personal Information
We may collect the following information when you provide it on pages we publish, when you contact us, or when we receive it as described in Section 3:
- Name
- Email address
- Phone number (when given for text messages or during a purchase)
- The content of any message you send us
When you sign up through one of our forms, we keep a record of your consent, including the date and time, your IP address and browser, the page, and the wording you agreed to.
B. Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, we use cookies and similar technologies to understand how the Site is used. This may include:
- Pages viewed and links clicked
- The website or link that brought you here
- Device and browser type
- IP address and approximate location
Links on our pages may carry tracking information so that visits and purchases can be credited to us. We may also receive confirmation that a purchase occurred, such as the commission amount. We never receive your payment card details.
3. Marketing Communications and Data Sharing
If you give us your information on pages we publish, or if you provide your information or complete a purchase on a seller’s page reached through our content, your contact details (such as your name, email address, and phone number) may be shared with and used by Health Trends Brief.
We may use your email address to send you:
- Editorial content and newsletters;
- Promotional communications;
- Offers for health and wellness products and services;
- Third-party and affiliate offers in these categories.
You can stop receiving these emails at any time by using the unsubscribe link included in each one or by writing to [email protected]. Text messages are covered in Section 10.
We do not sell your personal information.
4. How We Use Information
- To send the communications you signed up for
- To answer your messages and requests
- To operate, secure, and improve the Site
- To measure how our pages perform and to attribute commissions
- To keep records of consent and comply with legal obligations
5. How Information Is Shared
We share information with service providers that help us run the Site and deliver our communications, such as hosting, analytics, email, and messaging providers, and with affiliate networks and sellers as needed to attribute visits and purchases. We may also disclose information when the law requires it or to protect our rights. Section 10 sets additional limits on mobile information.
6. Third-Party Sites and Purchases
Our pages link to other websites, including sellers, advertisers, and payment processors. Each one has its own privacy policy and handles the information you give it under its own terms. We aren’t responsible for their content or practices, so please review their policies before sharing your information. Requests about a purchase should go to the platform that handled the transaction.
7. Children’s Privacy
The Site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has given us personal information, please contact us and we will remove it.
8. Data Security
We keep contact information on marketing and communication platforms that follow appropriate security standards. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. Payment and transaction details are handled by third-party platforms.
9. Your Choices and Rights
- Unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time using the link in each email.
- Stop text messages at any time by replying STOP.
- Block or delete cookies in your browser settings.
- Ask us to access, correct, or delete personal information we hold about you.
- Ask for more information about how we handle your data.
To make a request, write to [email protected].
10. Text Messages (SMS)
If you give us your phone number for text messages, you may receive:
- Alerts, updates, and reminders;
- Informational and promotional content;
- Messages about your sign-up or preferences.
If your phone number is shared with us after a purchase, as described in Section 3, you may receive text updates about your order.
Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to any message to stop receiving them, or HELP for help. Agreeing to receive marketing texts is not a condition of any purchase.
No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Text messaging opt-in data and consent will not be shared with any third parties, except service providers that deliver our messages or when required by law.
