Privacy Policy
The Wellness Lens ("we," "us," or "our") publishes health and wellness articles at thewellnesslens.com. This policy explains what information we collect when you visit, how we use it, and the choices you have. We try to keep this plain and specific rather than burying it in legalese.
Information we collect
We do not require you to create an account to read our articles, and we do not ask for personal details to browse the site. We collect two general categories of information:
- Information you choose to give us — for example, if you email editor@thewellnesslens.com, we receive your message and email address so we can reply.
- Information collected automatically — like most websites, our servers and analytics tools log standard technical data such as your browser type, device type, approximate region, the pages you view, and the site that referred you.
Cookies and analytics
We use cookies and similar technologies to understand how readers use the site so we can improve our articles. This may include privacy-conscious analytics that measure aggregate traffic — which articles are popular, how long pages take to load, and roughly where visitors come from. These tools generally use cookies or anonymous identifiers.
Affiliate links and sponsored content
Some of our articles — including clearly labeled sponsored content and reviews — contain affiliate links to third-party retailers. If you click one of those links and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. When a link is affiliated or an article is sponsored, we disclose it within the article.
When you click an outbound affiliate link, the destination website is operated by a third party with its own privacy practices. We do not control those sites, and their handling of your information is governed by their own policies, not ours.
How we use information
- To operate, maintain, and improve the website and our articles
- To understand aggregate readership and content performance
- To respond to messages you send us by email
- To protect the site against fraud, abuse, and technical problems
We do not sell your personal information.
Sharing
We may share limited information with service providers who help us run the site — for example, hosting and analytics providers — and only as needed for them to perform those services. We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect our rights and the safety of our readers.
Your choices
- Manage or clear cookies through your browser
- Use your browser's "Do Not Track" or privacy controls
- Contact us to ask what information we hold or to request deletion of an email exchange
Children
Our site is intended for a general adult audience and is not directed at children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date above. Continued use of the site after changes take effect means you accept the revised policy.
